    I'm inside an hourglass

    hello everyone and thank you! if anyone can interpret this dream I would appreciate it greatly.It starts with a field of pitch white. The only way I can explain it is, it is the opposite of pitch black. Complete and total whiteness. In the distance, very far away, I see a tiny black dot coming quickly closer,from a first person's point of view. As it gets closer, it resolves into an hourglass, very ornately and beautifully crafted, only built differently from the standard hourglass. instead of being crafted with two bulbs, 1 full 1 empty, this hourglass is crafted with one continuous cylinder, completely full with grains of rice. I get the feeling that it is immense in size, perhaps even larger than it is represented in the dream. Also, the closer it gets, I begin to smell and taste blood. I am wary but not afraid. The hourglass is shaking subtly, the grains of rice are undulating to the point that something else rises to the surface. it is me, beaten, bloody, bruised, broken, clothes are torn and disheveled. My eyes are wide open and my expression is fiery. Then I begin to hear sounds of weeping, and wailing, aand moaning, and then I wake up, heart pounding, in a cold sweat. Well, that's it! Any interpretation is welcome, but would prefer Christian interpretations. Thank you all so much for your time.

      Well if you take the dream apart interpretation becomes easier.

      First of all, the white void. This represents nothingness, clarity and purity.

      The hourglass represents time (obviously.) It's immense size represents its stability, strength and unchanging nature.

      I don't know what to say for the fact that it did not have two bulbs, and was one conjoined cylinder. Perhaps it was not an hourglass at all, but simply some kind of storage container (or prison). If that is the case then the interpretation of this contain could be much different.

      Why the hourglass was filled with rice is also tricky. Rice is a grain, and a common food staple around the world, and in the barter system, it is commonly used as currency. I couldn't say what this symbolizes other than food, wealth or prosperity.

      The hardest part is why you saw yourself, bloody, beaten, and angry with a fiery expression bottled inside the hourglass. Chances are that since you were seeing yourself that the character was a negative aspect of yourself. One that you have bottled up, or tried to get rid of. Perhaps by smothering him in -whatever the rice symbolizes-, and jarring him/her up.

      Ultimately the best person to interpret what this dream means is you. I can't say much outside of this without knowing anything about you.
