I don't know if there's anything mystical about dreams, but I think yours have a deep psychological aspect. Because it seems that those events that you dream about are still playing a significant role in your life and influencing who you are. Even if the situations in your dreams are different from happened in reality, it only means that maybe your mind tries to give them new meanings or create new scenarios. You can use all those as tool of producing the changes you want with yourself. Pay more attention to the details maybe?

Keeping a dream journal is a very good idea for understanding your sleep life. Also, I've found that meditation in the morning can help one gain perspective on one's dreams and get over them so the intense emotions they can arouse do not cast a shadow over your waking life. I tried to start again last night with a journal but my dreams were very complex and I was too lazy to write them down. For me, personally, dreams involving people I know almost always have something to say about my relationship with that person...usually about my projections onto that person. I have also had what I would call transcendental dreams that have been more powerful and real than even the most intense psychedelic experience, if only I could actually remember them.
Keep dreamin'.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

for me dreams are just a collection of things that happened in that day, all thrown into 1 story/dream.
Like if i played a lot of basketball 1 day, or i thought about being in the NBA or something like, then in my dream their will be a basketball, or something to do with the sport.
It just seems after every dream, i can pick things from it from that day , or the day before.
I too keep a dream journal, it is a great idea, but its kinda hard to get everything completely accurate when you wake up.

Well first of all, if you really want to heal, you should probably stop "he deserved it" thing. He was just a confused kid and this is the way you should treat it, no matter how much it personally injured you, seeing his reasons are very important. Because you can relate to him more easily and maybe realize that if you were him you would have been in his situation. It's not about forgiving, it is deeper since it comes to understanding. Finding common ground with the rest of the people is essential and helps you deal with lots from your frustrations.
Maybe you somehow feel guilty for what happened, even if you know you have no reason to do so. As long as you gold something against him it means that you're in defense, so why are you in defense after all this time?  I think that analyzing your dreams is the way to go, and not just let them happen thinking that you're also healing. Dreams like these CAN become obsessive. When we don't apply reason to them (or anything else), the results can be destructive instead of helping.

What you are characterizing as "psychological torture" likely just boils down to a short series of hurtful words and actions that you have blown out of proportion for years.
Now, that is very understandable.
But please have some compassion for this person that had also blown some circumstances out of proportion as a child. Can't we understand him too? He had a father, and then, apparantly, did not. Isn't it time to grow up and look back on both these childish mindsets as a thing of the past?
Both the attitude you are taking now and the attitude he took then are part of the "shit that happened." So, think clearly and let it go.
As a Buddhist, I don't see using my dreams as a way to justify certain attitudes. We need to let our lives and our paths be informed by a place of expanded consciousness, not by the depths of unconsciousness.
"That really pisses me off that people empathise with him torturing me"
Strive always to uphold the virtue of compassion, even when it hurts. The world needs more empathy, not less. I'm sure people are only trying to be compassionate or to provoke the compassion within you, not intentionally condoning child "torture".

he must realise this today, maybe that why im having toruble with it as he may be too.
I think you should focus on what will bring you positive changes instead of resentful ones. Wanting him to realize that he was wrong is not a healthy attitude in my opinion. It isn't because your well being and peace of mind depend on his decision. Just let go, totally and without any condition. It's not even that hard, or it is as hard as you think. If you have any form of contact with him or those who judged you, just end it. Change your friends, your mind set and your surroundings according to your own preferences and stop identifying yourself with your past. Life is now.

Why? Why should he do that? This only makes him more attached to the past. Seriously, I see no purpose for that, as the problems chronic has are his own, even if initially caused by someone else. Everything that we fear or hate is because of us, not because of the object of hate. I think that his focus should be healing himself, through himself.

Well I have red pandas in my avatar and sig picture. They're the sweetest little critters ever. Cuteness is one of the best treatments against being bored or depressed.

All this got brough up because i had a dream last night where i was friends with one of the dudes he got to side with him (this dude was a real prick back then) so i woke up like why the f am i friends with this guy he treated me like shit!!!
WHY are you friend with him? Did he change? Maybe he grew up and realized how immature he was. Case in which the past shouldn't matter. I became friends with lots of people that misjudged me in the past, as well as ended friendships just because I didn't care for them. I think that being honest (first to yourself) about what you want is what gets you somewhere. Do you feel uncomfortable around him? Do you feel like you're just hanging out with him out of inertia? Then maybe it is good to stop the contacts with this dude. But if you get along well now it's all that matters...

I am happy that you're getting over. Life's too beautiful to be wasted on things like these.
