Dreaming About Dragon
What it means
A dragon often embodies great power — either a force you are facing in waking life or a strength within you that is waking up and asking to be used.
In more detail
Dragons sit between threat and treasure, so the dream may ask whether you meet your power with fear or with respect. Facing it can mean confronting something large; befriending it, learning to carry your own intensity without being burned by it.
