What the dragon was doing
A dragon chases you
The pursuit can bring an unresolved fear or strong desire into view. Recall what you were running towards and whether the thing pursuing you felt familiar once you woke.
Riding a dragon
A ride can evoke control or the wish to feel capable in a situation that usually intimidates you. Consider whether you directed the dragon or were simply holding on.
A friendly or guarding dragon
A dragon beside you can represent reassurance, guidance or the strength to protect something you value. Think about what the creature stood between you and.
A dragon breathes fire
Fire can give shape to anger or passion that feels hard to contain. Recall whether it threatened you, cleared something away or made you aware of the dragon's power.
