THE DREAM The following are short summaries of dream which all contain torture. I have tried best to isolate the symbolic meaning of torture in each dream.

A dream about a shaggy looking man who wants to torture the dreamer linked to her manager at work. He was taking every opportunity to humiliate her - he constantly pressured her.

A dream about being tortured by a man in her house linked to the dreamer being watched by her mother. She had got into trouble recently and now she was under constant surveillance.

A dream with a tortured mocking smile linked to the dreamers friend recently committing suicide. The tortured smile symbolised this recent tragedy and peoples various reactions to it.
