Personal symbolism
Pain in a dream can make even a small event feel consuming. Here, your own pain is tied to unhappiness and regret over a trivial transaction, while seeing someone else suffer is a warning to reconsider your choices. This entry also shifts into paint and painting: newly painted houses suggest success with a plan; paint on clothing connects to hurt from careless criticism; using a brush points to satisfaction with your occupation; beautiful paintings suggest false positions from friends and illusive pleasure; a young woman painting a picture faces romantic deception. Notice which image was actually central.
