If you dream of being tortured, someone in your circle may not have your best interests at heart — disappointment and emotional pain could stem from misplaced trust. If you are the one inflicting pain in the dream, your well-laid plans for building wealth or improving your circumstances are likely to fall through before they come to fruition. If you're working to ease another's suffering in the dream, take heart: perseverance will eventually bring you the outcomes you want in both work and love.
