What are possible meanings for dreams of dragons?
Dreams have an array of associations with dragons with which to create symbolism. One of the most popular is that dragons breathe fire, and breathing fire is a metaphor for a heated argument or fiery temperament. See: Fires
A dragon can represent an intimidating and relentless person such as a boss or in-law who just won’t let up. For example, a woman dreams that her mother transforms into a glass dragon, symbolizing mom’s dual nature as someone both fiery and fragile.
A dragon can symbolize a person with a cold and calculating intellect.
Dragons have strong associations with smoldering sensuality and passionate sexuality. In myth, the knight that slays the dragon and rescues the virgin is symbolically taming the wildness of his sexuality. Dragons can symbolize the dark side of sexuality that’s devouring and all-consuming.
A woman dreams that she’s in her bedroom, and her boyfriend turns into a dragon and flies around the room, performing tricks for her. The dragon then turns back into her boyfriend and lies beside her in her bed. She feels the sexual tension between them. He then tells her that she has to pay for his time. This bothers her—she doesn’t understand why she has to pay for his time and wonders if she can get a discount.
The dream symbolizes a situation with her boyfriend. He is very sensual and passionate, and she loves how he “performs” for her, but she’s also paying the living expenses for both of them while he’s unemployed. In a sense, she’s paying for their time together. Her thoughts about getting a discount connect with her hope that her investment in the relationship will pay off when he gets a job and can pay his share of their living expenses.
Dragons are associated with being strongly materialistic and possessive. Dragons defend their hoard of treasure, and some people are similarly defensive about their possessions. Along this line, dragons are associated with jealousy, greed, and envy.
A sleeping dragon, or one that’s slow-moving, can symbolize feeling bloated or overburdened. It can symbolize a person you want to avoid arousing. The symbolism can extend to situations with the potential for danger or conflict that must be handled delicately or avoided altogether.
A dragon can symbolize the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is immensely powerful and requires a strong ego to tame it. Fighting a dragon can represent trying to tame your dark side, known as Shadow. In myth and legend, fighting a dragon is a sign of courage, a theme prevalent in the dreams of teenagers learning their own power.

A dragon hatching
In the dream I'm looking for a way to (hatch? birth?) a new dragon. People thought that was way way WAY too much and first tried to talk me down then avoided me when I kept at it.
Finally found a way. If you got the right 3d monitor the dragon can hatch and cross from that world to ours.
The one I found started out fiery and red. I was a bit intermediated by it and unsure, it looked angry but soon got used to him as his color changed to a more metallic one and figured he just had resting bitch face... dragon wise I mean. He was actually a good kid. People were very intimidated by a dragon though so kept their distance.

Please help me interpret this
Okay , so I had a super vivid dream , and I think it should have some meaning ? It felt super real.
So basically , it starts off with me and dad putting on our shoes to go somewhere. I'm waiting right outside my house for dad to get something , I notice this scab sorta thing above the front door and I decide to pick on it. Idk why I did , I just did. It looked like a fossil. Bones and stuff. So when I pick , I notice it moving and yeet out of there , it's still in sight.
Then a green snake slithers out of that thing , lunging at me whenever I try to get close. So I keep observing it from a distance and it crawls out of that fossil thingie and its like this tiiiiny green dragon and it sits on an ornamental plant next to the front door. I'm still too scared to approach it. Then it starts getting fluffier and more birdlike , and at one point in the transformation looks exactly like my ( dead ) cockatiel who I loved more than anything. So I have this extremely strong urge to go to it , by the time I walk over , I think the transformation is complete , because in the dragon place sits one of those African masked lovebirds. I immediately start cuddling it and stuff , like I used to with my cockatiel , and it seems to love it. So my mother , who finally notices , is like , she seems cute , why don't you take her inside. So I'm like no , she belongs in the wild. So my mom doesn't think much of it , and tries to pet her too , but the little one flies away when she gets close. Then I woke up to my mom's call. Another thing to note is , I know pet birds cannot be left out alone. The local birds will attack them , not to mention the numerous stray cats. And I still said that it needs to be free in the dream. So yeah this was the most vivid and weirdest dream I had as of late. Is there any way it could be interpreted?

Horse turned into a dragon
I dreamt that I was watching a Brown horse run through the forest, it was scared and it was being haunted by humans. In my dream it was my horse (I don’t have a horse irl).
It’s night and everything is dark, and gloomy weather.
Suddenly the horse dies and then turns into a black dragon. It lays on top of a fort on a mountain and it tries to protect itself from people shooting at it.
The dragon is friendly and isn’t attacking anyone, it just lays there.
I am standing next to the people attacking it and I feel devastated, I want to make them stop but I can’t.
I remember seeing the dragon tail fall off. I scream and cry in the dream, and I wake up actually crying irl as well.

i had a really beautiful dream
in my dream, i woke up in what i assumed was heaven, i’m not sure how i knew that, but i just knew. i was in a long hallway with wooden floors and very high ceilings, the walls were all hand carved in a style similar of the french gothic style of architecture, with shapes carved in them that resembled things like dragons and angels.
-
the hallway was full of doors, all of which had a name of one of my family members written on it. i went into the first door, which had my brothers name written on it (who is very much alive). and inside of the room, was a large room with french gothic style windows all around the room, but the entire room was just full of chairs and a tall door at the end of the room. every chair was empty except for one, and sitting in that chair was my great grandmother, who passed away in 2018, who i was really close with. it didn’t feel like the generic dream with weird unexplained phenomenons or anything like that, it felt just like real life. i ran to her and gave her the biggest hug. i told her that i love her and she told me not to cry, because she was happy there. she told me her parents were there and she was more than happy being there. i asked her what happened after she passed away and she told me that she didn’t know, from everything i talked to her about, it seemed she could only remember the good memories. then she told me she knew i didn’t belong there, she told me it wasn’t my time to be there yet and i needed to go. i told her that i love her again and suddenly woke up
