Islamic Interpretation
Seeing an hourglass or sandglass in a dream symbolizes the passage of time and close relationships, and its two bulbs represent two sons, two brothers, or two partners whose conditions are directly affected by whatever occurs to the hourglass in the vision, while the hourglass itself may also signify adornment, beauty, courtship, or marriage, and the sand flowing from the upper bulb into the lower bulb represents man’s semen, indicating procreation, continuity of lineage, intimacy, and the unfolding of destiny through time.
