I was talking to my therapist about my dreams, and she asked me an interesting question.
Many of my dreams feature me trying to protect others, or rescue others, and she wondered if I ever dreamed I was the one being rescued or protected.
And after some hard thought, I can say that to the best of my ability to remember, I have never had that kind of dream.
Even in my dreams, it seems, I don't believe anyone would be coming to my rescue.
I kind of think that's sad.

Is That Unusual?
I can't recall any dreams that involve my being rescued. Not even by a deus ex machina, unless one counts waking up.

I have heard that ...
... we give what we most need for ourselves. Maybe this thought is worth running past your therapist.
So what you need(ed) most was/is rescue, and you give it in your dreams, and I bet elsewhere.

We so need to steal that Facebook 'Sad' reaction, and the others as well.
Of course not
In your dreams you are the strong one. They serve to let you know that you have the strength to over come all odds. The strong don't need rescuing. You are a strong person. The only thing you lack is the enduring confidence that you are strong.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deut. 3:16
