Torture
Torture — deliberate, drawn-out suffering — often touches disappointment and grief through false friends' machinations, with failed plans if you torture others but success after struggle if you ease another's pain. The dream may ask where prolonged anguish is at work, and whether relieving suffering rather than causing it is the way out.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for torture, 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 of being tortured, denotes that you will undergo disappointment and grief through the machination of false friends.
If you are torturing others, you will fail to carry out well-laid plans for increasing your fortune.
If you are trying to alleviate the torture of others, you will succeed after a struggle in business and love.
