A serious response

Because dreams express emotions through symbolism, the dreamer should consider what it might mean to have hands with holes in them. The expression, "slipped through my grasp" comes to mind. If one had large holes that went all the way through the back of the hand to the palm, one could not hold things. This could be a metaphor for an opportunity or something else the dreamer wanted that "slipped through your grasp."

> The holes might also be a play on words, referring to holy hands rather than hole-y hands. If so, the dream could be referring to the dreamer's call to the ministry and/or prayer and healing.

> In yet another possibility, the hands could be literal image of some alternative meaning of "hands." For example, a hand of cards would have a "hole" if it lacked a card needed for a straight or a flush. A "hand" could also mean applause or the unit of measurement for a horse's height or assistance ("give me a hand.") In any of these alternatives, the holes would mean that something is lacking in that hand.

> In all these alternatives, the emotional tone of the dream is critical. If the dream is frightening, it is more likely to represent loss or the lack of some necessity. If the tone is one of awe or wonderment, it is more likely to have a spiritual meaning.

Answer 2

In a Christian context, any hole in the hand could refer to the wounds of Christ. A luminous hole in either or both hands suggests some sort of spiritual suffering or sacrifice.
