What Some of My Dragon Dreams Have Led To

Even though I find the dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guardian/guide to be confusing, I nonetheless feel that there are a few interesting things that these dreams have led to.

These dreams have led to me wondering who I really am.  My dragon guardian/guide has sometimes claimed to know who I truly am, and while I’ve always taken that claim with a substantial grain of salt, I still have come to the realization that I just don’t know who I really am.

These dreams have led to me wondering what potential I really have.  My dragon guardian/guide has told me that I am more than what I have become, and while I’ve taken that with a substantial grain of salt, I still have yet to find out how – and in what ways – I am more than what I have become.

These dreams have led to me considering going on some kind of journey to try and find myself (though I’m not sure what kind of journey it would be at the moment).

These dreams have led to me questioning my spirituality.  In particular, the dreams where my dragon guardian/guide has told me why he was chosen to be my guardian (which is something that I refuse to reveal for personal reasons) have led me to question and somewhat reconsider my spirituality.  For the record, I haven’t been a spiritual person throughout my life so far.

These dreams have led to me writing two great poems last year (one of which I consider to be my magnum opus and feel I won’t be able to top in the future – and both of which I still will not be sharing at all).

So, I’m glad and thankful that I have these dreams despite the fact that I find them to be confusing (as strange as that may sound).

Happy (belated) Appreciate a Dragon Day!

Happy belated Appreciate a Dragon Day!  As you will note, I am not posting this on the 16th.  The reason is that I didn’t know that Appreciate a Dragon Day was on the 16th.  In fact, I didn’t even know about Appreciate a Dragon Day until the 16th (and even then, I didn’t look up information about it and find out that it was on the 16th, mainly because I was busy with other things).

Anyways, since I didn’t celebrate Appreciate a Dragon Day on the 16th, I thought that I’d write about several things regarding dragons that I’m glad about.

I’m glad that I was born in the Year of the Dragon (and I can’t find the words to explain why).

I’m glad that I became fascinated with dragons when I was young.  If I hadn’t become fascinated with dragons when I was young, I honestly don’t know if I’d be the person that I am today (to a certain extent).

I’m glad that I’ve read a few books about dragons or books that have dragons in them, such as (but not limited to) The Hobbit by the late J. R. R. Tolkien; Dragonsong, Dragonsinger, and Dragondrums by the late Anne McCaffrey; and Mistress of Dragons by Margaret Weis.  I’m also glad that I’ve read a few short stories about dragons or short stories that have dragons in them, such as (but not limited to) “The Smallest Dragonboy” by the late Anne McCaffrey.  They became a few of my favorite books and short stories, not to mention that some of them changed my views of dragons in literature.

I’m glad that I’ve watched the following movies about dragons:  Dragonheart, Dragonheart:  A New Beginning, How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Dragonheart 3:  The Sorcerer’s Curse.  They became my favorite movies about dragons (seeing as I like movies about dragons that don’t picture dragons as bad or evil creatures), not to mention that a few of them changed my views of dragons in movies.

Last but not least, I’m glad (and thankful) that I’ve had dreams about my dragon guardian/guide for a little more than six years now.  Though these dreams tend to be confusing, I’d rather have them than not have them – and I don’t know if I’d be the person that I am today (to a certain extent) if I didn’t have them in the first place.

There’s one more thing that I thought I’d mention (which I find to be interesting and coincidental).  On Appreciate a Dragon Day last year, I wrote part of my poem about my dragon guardian/guide; it was my ninth day of writing that poem (and it was a long ways away from being finished at the time).

I hope that everyone had a great 16th!

A Slight Change

After recently reading a couple of online articles about dragon guardians and thinking about some of the dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guide, I’ve decided to change the “Dragon Guide” label on this blog (and on the entries that have said label) to the following label:  “Dragon Guardian/Guide”.  I’ve also decided that from now on, I’m going to refer to my dragon guide as my dragon guardian/guide on this blog (and in my replies to the comments on this blog).

There are two things that led to me making these decisions.  First, my dragon guardian/guide has always told me that he is my guardian and has never told me that he is my guide in the dreams that I’ve had about him, though he once told me that he is here to guide me.  (However, his words and actions have tended to lean towards guiding me more than protecting me.)  Second, while I feel that the terms “guardian” and “guide” are interchangeable, I feel that they’re interchangeable only to a small degree; thus, I felt that using both terms would be better than using just one term.

For those of you who leave comments on this blog, it doesn’t matter to me whether you refer to my dragon guardian/guide as a dragon guardian, a dragon guide, or both.  It’s just how I refer to him that’s going to change.

I apologize if this entry happens to be a bit boring.  I do plan on posting more things, but I’m not exactly sure of what I’ll be posting next at the moment.  Also, I’m not sure how often I’ll be posting for a while, as I’m going to hopefully begin writing a new poem later this week (and while I won’t reveal exactly what it’s about, I will say that it has nothing to do with dragons).

Curious About a Dragon in My Dreams

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the dreams that I’ve had about the red Western dragon that claims to be a friend of my dragon guide (which is something that my dragon guide has neither confirmed nor denied, even to this day).  I’ve also been thinking about the fact that this red dragon’s personality isn’t the same as my dragon guide’s personality.  This has led to me being curious about this red dragon and wondering why this red dragon appears in my dreams.

Most of the dreams that I’ve had about this red dragon have been trivial (well, trivial compared to some of the dreams that I’ve had about my dragon guide, anyways).  They tend to either consist of him telling my dragon guide something (such as telling my dragon guide that he has done a good job of being my guardian) or consist of him telling me something (such as telling me to listen to my dragon guide).

Though most of the dreams that I’ve had about this red dragon have been trivial, two of the dreams that I’ve had about him have stood out to me.

The first dream that I had about this red dragon that stood out to me was the second dream that I had about him.  In this dream, he told me that he wouldn’t eat me nor hurt me and that he would watch over me until my dragon guide (who he referred to by name) came.  Then, my dragon guide arrived and thanked the red dragon for watching over me.  He then told the red dragon that he may go and the red dragon flew away.  This dream stood out to me because it was the first dream where my dragon guide’s name was revealed to me (and I had it almost one year after I had my first dream about my dragon guide).

The second dream that I had about this red dragon that stood out to me was a dream where he told me that my dragon guide was chosen to be my guardian and asked me if I knew why.  I told him that I didn’t know why my dragon guide was chosen to be my guardian.  Then, I asked him what he meant about my dragon guide being chosen to be my guardian.  He responded by telling me that I might find out in time and that I would only wait until then.  This dream stood out to me because three-and-a-half years after I had this dream, I ended up having a dream where my dragon guide revealed why he was chosen to be my guardian.

However, in spite of these things, I still find myself wondering why this red dragon appears in my dreams.  Does he represent a voice of reason?  Does he give me advice that I should follow?  It’s honestly hard for me to say, considering that little has been revealed about him in the dreams that I’ve had about him so far.
