It sounds like you may be experiencing something called sleep paralysis.

Here is a helpful article.

When we hare recurring dreams there is a reason for it. In this case, it is something unresolved from I assume your past. First of all, keep a diary of everything, what you feel, what you see, what you smell, everything, that is a good start. Obviously in this dream you have no control and are being violated. Does he sexually attack you or does he hit you? There is a way to stop these using Lucid dreaming, in which you take control of the dream. But I can explain more after you explain more to me. Please feel free to email me at iioveenvoys@aol.com. I have taken courses on dream analysis..

Is it possible you have been assaulted by a family member at some point, only say that because your question rings true to one a past girlfriend had and she was abused by an uncle

- yaa buddy that might be a reason.
  the person is really in need of some phycologist.

- thanks for the input buzz123456, but I don't have a history of abuse. This dream involves more of a physical assault- a beating- not a rape.

- No, and that's why the dream is so odd and scary to me. The thing that really freaks me out about it is the fact that the person has no face. It's just odd and disconcerting!

- I bet it is, hopefully it hasn't been happening for long and ends soon. Maybe try not to think about it, read a good book or cuddle with a loved one before sleeping, think good thoughts and hopefully will pass, sorry can't help more.

Hey relax just calm down be brave you are just hallucinating. Are you afraid of ghosts.Do you watch horror movies,or doy you have apast that still haunts you?I really cant find reasons for your night mare.
just add your yahoo or g mail id on my comment section.I can help you out trust me.It will take prolonged discurssion.

Of keep faith on Jesus.Sleep with some of his sign or image with in your reach.Be happy always.Never be depressed.Have fun.Have some really funny and noble thoughts before going to bed.Red at least a chapter of bible before you go to bed and if possible sleep with the copy of bible near by.These things may sound strange but they have effect .Just try it and you will see the difference.

- Not a hallucination. A dream. I get the feeling from the comment on the post above that you are not a psychologist. Thanks for your input, but I don't instant message. I'm an RN, and it seems highly unlikely that a psychologist would make assurances of "curing" me right of the bat like this. Anyways, thanks for your time, but I'd like input from some other sources.
