"Reduce to dust" = "turn into dust". (In practice, we often use "reduce A to B".)
Example: "The demolition crew reduced the abandoned home to dust".
In general, "reduce to" means "transform into", where this transformation is either
(1) from something greater to lesser or
(2) from one type of thing to a different type of thing.
Example of (1): "Reduce this fraction to lowest terms".
Example of (2): "Reduce geometry to category theory".
Example of both (arguably): "Reduce human emotions to chemical imbalances".
Note: "Reduce" is often used in place of "reduce to B". Pay attention to the context of the sentence to decide what "reduce to" means.
