Strip of dawn/ hog water

His devoted friend Evgenii Ivanov had a vision of the clouds lifting “like a curtain to open up a strip of the dawn above the earth, a field with puddles of hog water and blood. We stood at a crossroads,” he concluded. No one knew which road led to salvation, and which to damnation.
In war's dark shadow. Bruce Lincoln

Could you please intepret this image? So, clouds lift like a curtain and after the clouds lift Ivanov sees a strip of dawn (what is it?!) which is a field with puddles of hog water and blood? By the way, what is hog water ? Thanks a lot for your help.

I believe he means rain water. In mid-20th century American farming terminology, a hog water tank collects rainwater for the livestock to drink.
