The parts that struck me the most: you dug your own grave, it was not meant to be you, you know exactly what is going on, and you are not evil.
Is there something you feel guilty about, something you have regrets over? Something where you question why it happened to you (it was not meant to be you)? Something where you feel you did something wrong and it wound up hurting yourself? But on the other hand you also feel that you are not the evil one and it was not meant to be you. So your fault but not your fault. I would expect there to be an obvious answer since this dream says that you know exactly what is going on. Although that could be because this is something you have been denying the knowledge even from yourself though deep down you know.
The heart in a box could be because you feel you acted heartless, or maybe you feel like your heart has been ripped out of your chest. It could also be because this is about a romantic relationship perhaps, where your heart is what is lost. Or this could be an issue with something so important that you had put your heart into it, not necessarily a relationship but something that really matters.
The thing is that even though you realize that you dug your own grave and feel that it is your own fault or maybe your and that of another, whom you now think of as a stranger or the devil (though that devil and strangers could also be you in your own perception, as your own worst enemy), but despite that your dream solution is a lightening strike: something highly unlikely outside of your own control. So even though you think you had control over the problem developing, you don't think you have the power to fix it.
It's a dream that is a bit hopeless, what with your own death a forgone conclusion in the beginning. It makes me think of depression: hopelessness, blaming oneself, thinking one cannot resolve it oneself, and thinking of death in a grave one dug oneself (any suicidal thoughts?). But the ending does offer hope: lightening does strike against all odds, and you raise the box yourself so you contribute (are instrumental) to fixing the issue after all. Your prize is that you have hope that things can return to normal again, and you can be happy again. Although it is not good that someone else tells you to raise the box so it is not your own initiative, so maybe not you doing it after all. The lightening strike could bring things to normal but there is also danger of it killing you, your heart incinerated. Though I don't think that's it because you woke up happy, so I think the lightening is a good sign of hope after all.
Does any of that sound right to you? If not, please discard it, because the right interpretation will make sense to you, and keep in mind that there may be more than one right interpretation.
