Significance of seeing a dragon?

That is so wierd! I had the same experience, the dragons were probably different than your's though. And my zodiac is not the dragon. My dragons were different to each other too. One was a blue western(or english) dragon. The other was a green-to-red from head to tail and it was an eastern(or chinese) dragon. I was about 6 years old. I was in my room sitting on my bed with the window open. I was staring out the window and I look away for a few seconds, and when I look back these two dragons crawled into my room. And no they weren't lizards, I don't live anywhere near where lizards can live. Oh well, so while they were crawling in they were talking, like your dragons. Only these ones were talking to me and it was like I understood. But they were talking in some other language, an ancient language I suppose. Then my mom called me, I turned around and told her I was coming. When I looked back I just saw the tail of the blue dragon exit through the window. I only saw them once more. I saw the chinese dragon two years ago in the summer.  But that was the last time. And I also did not tell anyone for fear of being considered crazy, a freak, or something else I can't think of right now. Oh well, there's my experience. Hope it did something.\n\nAlso many believe that Dragons are the ultimate creatures. It is said they are in tune with all elements. They are the strongest, wisest, the ugliest or most beautiful, etc. Basically the best of everything. But also the most secretive.

I don't think it matters as long as it's a dragon.

I don't think dinosaurs got anything to do with it.\n\nThe earliest mention of a "dragon" is actually Assyrian, Tiamat the old earth goddess in her emanation as a sea monster being slain by Marduk the sky god.\nThe theory of a common Asian origin is much more likely to my mind, only that European dragons were not able to fly, they were also called "wyrms", which implies a crawling creature.\n\nEuropean dragons seem to have been creatures of fire and earth  and unfriendly to humans, where Asian ones are associated with wind and water, and are considered bringers of fame and fortune,\nin China the dragon was the symbol of the emperor whereas the phoenix was the symbol of the empress.\n\nMy own theory is that a common idea of a giant magical creature got spread west with the Indo-European language groups from Central Asia where there must have been contacts with Asian cultures, but got mixed with contents from the mythology of the original inhabitants of the Mediterranean region, and transformed into something different, then with the renewed cultural contact in the 17.th century got changed again, so now dragons can fly in Europe as well.

The translation is "Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon"\nMakes no sense, but rumours say it will actually mean something in the 7th and final book.

Dragons appear prominently in chinese culture. They represent strength, the highest authority, the most auspicious, excellence. Singapore is a predominantly Chinese city-state, close to 90% of the population. They are descended from immigrant Chinese who came during the British rule in the 19th and early 20th C. \n\nThe current Prime Minister's given name means dragon, 'Loong'. though I doubt if there'd be any real association to it.

It is hard to prove and/or disprove the existence of dragons because, they are cryptozoids.  Perhaps they did once exist, and perhaps they still do (komodo dragons?...bad joke).  They might just were very highly evolved over-grown flying lizards with the abilities of breath fire, ice or acid.  The again, we cannot be sure of anything.\n\nTo me the world's cultures all share some form of beliefs in the exitence of dragons in their ancient past; thus, perhaps those beliefs were not myths...who knows?  Technically, there are two types of dragons: serpent dragons (Asian) and griffin dragons (Western).

The various figures now called dragons probably have no single origin, but were spontaneously envisioned in several different cultures around the world, based loosely on the appearance of a snake and possibly fossilized dinosaur and Tertiary mammal megafauna remains.\n\n \nNazi propaganda poster of a dragon being crushed by the logo of the nazi S.S.They are commonly portrayed as serpentine or reptilian, hatching from eggs and possessing long, typically scaly, bodies; dragons are often (but not always) portrayed with wings and a fiery breath.\n\nAlthough dragons (or dragon-like creatures) occur commonly in legends around the world, different cultures have perceived them differently. Chinese dragons (Simplified Chinese: 龙; Traditional Chinese: 龍; Pinyin: lóng), and Eastern dragons generally, are usually seen as benevolent, whereas European dragons are usually malevolent (there are of course exceptions to these rules). Malevolent dragons also occur in Persian mythology (see Azhi Dahaka) and other cultures.\n\nDragons are often held to have major spiritual significance in various religions and cultures around the world. In many oriental cultures dragons were, and in some cultures still are, revered as representative of the primal forces of nature and the universe. They are associated with wisdom—often said to be wiser than humans—and longevity. They are commonly said to possess some form of magic or other supernatural power. In some cultures, they are said to be capable of human speech.\n\nDragons are very popular characters in fantasy literature and video games today, especially in role-playing games. The term dragoon, for infantry that move around by horse, yet still fight as foot soldiers, is derived from their early firearm, the "dragon", a wide-bore musket that spit flame when it fired, and was thus named for the mythical beast.\n\n[edit]\nSymbolism\nIn medieval symbolism, dragons were often symbolic of apostasy and treachery, but also of anger and envy, and eventually symbolised great calamity. Several heads were symbolic of decadence and oppression, and also of heresy. They also served as symbols for independence, leadership and strength. Many dragons also represent wisdom; slaying a dragon not only gave access to its treasure hoard, but meant the hero had bested the most cunning of all creatures. In some cultures, especially Chinese, or around the Himalayas, dragons are considered to represent good luck.\n\n \nSaint George versus the dragon, Gustave Moreau, c.1880. This small one has the look of a griffin or a wyvern.[edit]\nIn Christianity\nThe Latin word for a dragon, draco (genitive: draconis), actually means snake or serpent, emphasising the European association of dragons with snakes. The Biblical identification of the Devil and the serpent thus gave a snake-like dragon connotations of evil. The demonic opponents of God, Christ, or good Christians have commonly been portrayed as dragons.\n\nIn the Book of Job Chapter 41, the sea monster Leviathan, which has some dragon-like characteristics, is described as God talks about the "king of beasts" that lived upon the Earth at a former time.\n\nIn Revelation 12:3, an enormous red beast with seven heads is described, whose tail sweeps one third of the stars from heaven down to earth (held to be symbolic of the fall of the angels). In some translations, the word "dragon" is used to describe the beast.\n\nIn iconography, some Christian saints are depicted in the act of killing a dragon. This is one of the common aspects of Saint George in Egyptian Coptic iconography [1], on the coat of arms of Moscow, and in English and Aragonese legend. In Italy, Saint Mercurialis, first bishop of the city of Forlì, is also depicted slaying a dragon.[2]\n\n[edit]\nHistory and Origin of Dragons\nA fellow editor requested that someone provide references or some sources for the information in this section.\nSome believe that the dragon may have had a real-

Just like any other mythology and fantasy, there are certain truths to which what we hear in common are real or not. Dragons do not exist, have not existed, and will not exist. They merely were imaginative characterizations of creatures such as dinosaurs. They exist in stories only because of the fact that they resemble something for certain people. That is to say, dragons are mere symbolisms. \n\nThe thing about China and England is that they differ in location and culture, and perhaps much, much more. China's symbolism of the dragon means it portrays fortune, wealth, prosperity and luck. That's why they're usually red. (In Chinese, red symbolizes prosperity). \nIn England, dragons are gray because, there, they symbolize monstrosity or weirdness. English myths and stories used the dragon in the Medieval times as something evil. Something to fear. And so therefore, knights in shining armors had to slay the dragon.\n\nSo, even though Chinese think of the dragon as something good, the British on the other hand think of the dragon as something dangerous. The dragons merely existed in tales and fictional literature; scientifically, there had been no evidence whatsoever of remnants of dragons. ok? get it?

It is a symbol of authority and power.  You have to trace it's evolution and destruction from the novel.  That entails... doing your own homework.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue
