I'm Wiccan so I put a lot of weight into dreams. I keep having the same dream over and over which is weird because I've never dreamt about the same thing more than once ever before.

I'm in the mall with my best friend and we're in a department store and an older man [I can never see his face but I know that he's in his 40's or 50's] tried to rape me. My friend just stands there and watches as the man attacks me. Then, right before the man can actually rape me, a guy I once dated comes and saves me. He never says a word to me, just pulls the man off me, helps me up, and then hands me a five dollar bill.
At that point, I always wake up. I don't understand the dream at all. I've tried to interpret it but the interpretations don't make any sense.
What could this dream possibly mean?

Well this dream could mean the guy you use to date is still a good friend and the friend that watched it happened may not really be your friend.

I think it means one thing for sure.. "be careful".

Believe me, I took as a warning to be careful. As far as the guy still being a good friend, I don't think so. We haven't talked in almost a year and he pretty much denies my existence where as the girl who watched it all happen is probably the one person I can always count on. :/
