Mortification
Mortification — deep shame over a deed, or the death of flesh — often touches being placed low before those you most wish to appear honourable to. The dream may ask where you fear humiliation in the eyes that matter most, and whether something you've done is festering into disgrace or disappointment you can't easily heal.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mortification, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you feel mortified over any deed committed by yourself, is a sign that you will be placed in an unenviable position before those to whom you most wish to appear honorable and just. Financial conditions will fall low.
To see mortified flesh, denotes disastrous enterprises and disappointment in love.
