So if you cast Sands of Time on a Dragon, and it increases to the next age category, would the dragon gain the new size, Hitdice, natural armor, and Breath weapon and any supernatural and spell like abilities that the next age categories possess?
The intent, IMHO, of the spell is to advance creatures that age by years only, and the effect is not supposed to be positive. They may need to errata it to account for Dragons. I would hit the FAQ button.

SANDS OF TIME
School necromancy; Level cleric 3, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range touch
Target touched creature or object
Duration 10 minutes/level or instantaneous (see text)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance yes
You temporarily age the target, immediately advancing it to the next age category. The target immediately takes the age penalties to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution for its new age category, but does not gain the bonuses for that category. A creature whose age is unknown is treated as if the spell advances it to middle age. Ageless or immortal creatures are immune to this spell.
If you cast this on an object, construct, or undead creature, it takes 3d6 points of damage + 1 point per caster level (maximum +15) as time weathers and corrodes it. This version of the spell has an instantaneous duration.
Gets no bonuses, so it ages yet does not grow and gain abilities.

Good catch.
I really need to stop skim reading.
