Uhm idrk how to word this, but I've been having these really bad nightmares of stuff that feels like it's happened? But I don't actually remember the event itself.

Like in the dreams I'm either watching this kid that looks like me getting assaulted, or I am the kid and I see everything before the event but I'll wake up the second I'm touched by the guy.

Thing is I don't recall this actually happening? I mean I wake up from these dreams feeling like I'm still there, and before I go to bed I can feel them coming almost? Like I've learned to figure out when I'll most likely have these dreams. Usually I wake up panicking, and if its bad enough I'll go into a trance where ig I'm still there but not? Like I see my body but I can't quite feel it. Like depersonalization but like really detached. Like I'm floating off somewhere.

But again I don't recall this actually happening? Is this just me being paranoid? I mean I'm like 5 in the dream or around that age, so maybe that's why? Idk are these dreams even considered flashbacks??

Cuz I don't know any actual triggers, it just happens somedays, or if I'm just in a really bad place mentally.
