Well, in ancient Egypt, only the high priest or Pharaoh was allowed in the inner sanctum with the alter. No one else was ever allowed to enter. Women (or other people) were never tied to altars or sacrificed! Any type of animal that was used to make food for the God that would be placed in the temple was butchered outside of the temple and brought in.
Dreams were very important to the ancient Egyptians though, and interpretations were based on puns and word associations. For example, if an Egyptian dreamed about a donkey (the Egyptian word for donkey was "aa") it meant s/he was going to be promoted (the Egyptian word for promotion was "baa"). If we want to play on the words in your dream in the ancient Egyptian fashion, we can use the word "altar" to say that you should make some "alteration" in your life. The bright light you saw could mean that you need to "lighten" your workload or any stress you have in your life.
According to the Dream Book of Qenherkepshef, if you were wearing a white sandals in your dream, it means that you will be roaming the earth.

This could have been a past life experience not a dream our soul does not forget our past lives it could be a message to help you with something going on right now in your life, so I will see what I can find to help you
Temple
To see a temple in your dream, represents your spiritual thinking, meditation and growth. It is also symbolic of your physical body and the attention you give it.
Egypt
To dream of Egypt, indicates the roots and core of your own emotions and spirituality. It suggests of a time in life where things may have been simpler.
Priest
To see a priest in your dream, signifies spiritual needs, regulation, religious belief and guidance. It also symbolizes chastity and abstinence. You may view sexuality as immoral. To see a dictatorial or condemning priest in your dream, signifies unyielding authority and over-protectiveness.
Altar
To see the altar in your dream, symbolizes that you are making a great personal sacrifice. You may also be expressing concerns about your spirituality. To see a priest at the altar in your dream, signifies strife and disharmony in both your work and home.
Light
To see light in your dream, denotes a clear mind, plain understanding, and insight. Light has been shed on a once cloudy situation or problem. You have found the truth to a situation or an answer to a problem. To see a bright light in your dream, indicates that you need to move toward a higher level of awareness and feeling.
Woman
To see a woman in your dream, represents nurturance, passivity, caring nature, and love. It refers to your own female aspects or may also represent your mother. Alternatively, it may indicate temptation and guilt. If you know the woman, then it may symbolize the concerns and feelings you have about her.
I hope you find some insight to your dream with the interpretation I have left : )
Love & Blessings

an alter means you could find some lost money
if you are kneeling at the alter your secret desire will be yours
a bright light is a sign of good health
women spell insincerity, bitterness, and resentment
a open door predicts that your hopes will soon be realized
it looks like your dream is pretty good for you as it seems that certain negatives are tied up and probably up for sacrifice
what do you mean by nothing? darkness or just blankness?

Perhaps this was a past life that you were remembering. Important things to note while having a dream like this are things like where you acting like you knew exactly what you were doing or where you unsure of what was going on. Something like that can make the difference between dream and forgotten reality.

have you been searching for clarification? or perhaps fell asleep while drawing down the Moon?
if you were in a temple, there's Sacred Space involved, as well as ritual (priests & priestesses)...the blinding light could represent a number of different things...what did you feel when you saw the light? joy? fear?
perhaps it's a symbol of a divine awakening within you?

One part of yourself is holding another part of yourself down, perhaps even willing to sacrifice that aspect as though it isn't even necessary for your survival.
The girl on the altar is most likely a part of yourself that you are repressing right now. Most likely a solar aspect, such as a logical utilitarian subservient secretary like aspect, one that would be like a normal person functioning in the world.
The priestess is almost an aggrandizement. She most likely represents your idealized spiritual self. She seems to be waiting for some big thing to happen, symbolized by the white light. She seems to be holding the girl down for this, or perhaps is going to sacrifice her in order for this "big thing" to happen.
The question is:
Is the Priestess your Higher Self or your Ego?
The girl on the altar may be a part of yourself that you need to "sacrifice" in order to grow spiritually.
Or
The priestess may be your ego built up with structures based on grand spiritual notions. She may be holding back the part of yourself that allows you to prosper in the world, in her grand pursuit of lofty notions. If there is a lack of things going right in your life, it's probably this one.
Brightest Blessings!

according to http://www.soulfuture.com/dream_dictionary/symbols_t/temple_dream_dictionary.asp
--temple might symbolize your body, a lack of clarity of the temple in your dream confirms it
--altar=inner self
woman tied to an altar=some aspect of yourself is tied up=not free
You are a priestess of your own temple, take care of it , free the woman and let the light in. Please meditate or day dream on the message and it shall become clear to you. Thank you for sharing your dream.

The blinding light is Jesus. He's trying to tell you something.

I think you masturbate too little. What is the point of dreaming, if you don't finish properly?
