I had a nightmare one night that I remember quite vividly. What happened was really strange. I was at my house in the bathroom. Something had happened previously in the dream which I don't recall but I was exhausted and sore. I was filling a bath barely awake waiting naked by the tub when a knock came on the door. It opened tentatively and my boyfriend came in. I stumbled and fell into his arms about to say something when he shushed me tenderness filling his eyes. He helped me into the tub since I was so weak I could hardly stand. Then he took off his own clothes to avoid getting them wet. And he proceeded to gently clean me he had no sexual intents whatsoever just pure tender love and care. He did become aroused but apologized for it and tried to ignore it. I gave him a weak kiss of thanks for the help for being so kind and not trying to take advantage of my injured state. And as I kissed him the door to the bathroom opened and my father walked in. He has a short fuse and this lit it of course it looks terrible. He started to attack and yell and pull my boyfriend out but then the dream shifted to a completely different dream that one I don't recall. I was 16 when I had this dream and when I woke up I was drenched in a cold sweat. I was horrified embarrassed very biased toward my sweet boyfriend and against my short-fused scary father haha. |
