I don't think this is a bad dream at all. I think it just represents on some level that you are afraid you are hurting your therapist by going to group, or feeling so needy or whatever. And your mind may simply be associating that hurt with a hurt you know all too well.
Alternatively, rape as we all know, is about control and power. Maybe some of the neediness you've expressed is some unconcious desire to control your therapist more.
I know the "dream residue" can be awful in the day, but just try and use this dream to tell you something about the relationship between you and your therapist.
I think he will be VERY interested in it.
I'm here if you need to talk.
