Dream about hell

I had a strange dream last night. A wretched man was lying down on his back. Another man had his hands wrapped around his ankles. He explained that even merely tickling the wretched man would cause the flesh to fall off of him. I'm not sure if the wretched man was a denizen of Hell, or a ghost. It reminded me of a story about Hell where victims are crushed, or have their bodies sliced.
