I saw a very lucid dream of being molested by a woman when I was a very young boy. She made me lick her and would sit on my face. I saw this about four years ago now and I’m getting worse I feel. I’m 40 and I’m having uncontrollable anger, I yell and can’t find any happiness. I know it’s in my head, but I can’t not see the vision.
