As the dream left you worrying about your own immortality,the dream can also relate strongly to your own spiritual beliefs. Those whohave had a strict religious upbringing have it well ingrained into them that badbehaviour - behaviour not in accordance with the rules of the Lord - will endup punished in hell's fires. Note how you know in the dream, that you deservewhat is happening in the dream. Punishment is usually deserved.
The ghost represents some idea in your mind that has not yetbeen completely put to rest. The men represent thoughts and ideas also found inyour own mind. Collectively the men (because they are males) can be understoodas representing your mind. Thus here some idea that has not been put to a finalrest is shown as responsible for making your mind feel as if you are goingthrough hell. Note it is not God doing any of this. You are doing it toyourself.
[Perhaps you need to deal with some idea (the ghost) that isnot allowing your mind to enjoy peace. Do you have any idea what you mightthink you deserve punishment for? Many people are unable to forgive themselvesfor some wrong doing in the past. Perhaps a spiritual counselor could helphere.]

I feel like I need to be punished for all the wrong I done in the past. I have a hard time forgiving myself. I have been under a lot of stress especially lately.
