Dreamt I was a dragon and a golden stream of fresh water.

A few weeks ago, I had this dream which really stuck out to me. The dream was very, very, detailed and seemed to last for a very long time. I would say the dream felt like it lasted days. I was wondering what it could represent since this is the first dream I had which lasted such a long time and on top of that was so detailed too. I assume this dream is of importance if it stuck out this way. Anyways, can anybody help me interpret the dream? Many of the symbols were a little weird and I couldn't find clear meaning out of them. Sorry it's a bit a long, but, like I said, it was the longest and one of the most clear dreams I've ever had, so please bear with me.

-------------------------

I first "woke up" on a beach of an island with white sand next to a clear, aqua blue ocean which dipped off into a deep, navy blue around fifty feet off the shore. The sky was a bright, sky blue with a few clouds scattered here and there. Behind me was a tall, tropical forest with many trees. I stood up and instantly noticed I was standing on all fours and surprisingly, it felt natural. I rushed over to the water only to find out my reflection was that of a black dragon. I stood there in shock for a little while and after examining my reflection closer, I noticed I lacked wings. Despite this, I tried to fly anyways... only to fall on face. I then focused on my tail to see if I could move it and surprisingly I was able to wag it. I looked back to where I first "gained consciousness" and saw a polka-dotted, blue bindle bag next to where I was. I walked over and untied the bag and saw there was a plastic bag with many styrofoam to-go boxes inside with Chinese food. I retied the cloth into a bag and slung it around my neck and on my back. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to head into the forest.

While walking through the forest, the forest slowly changed from a tropical one to a more temperate one. I then came across a forest clearing which contained a village full of humans. The village consisted of many small stick huts and large farming fields. By this time, it had become nighttime and the full moon was up and countless stars dotted the black sky. I quickly bound towards the village hoping they would provide me with shelter and food, but before I could enter, the villagers noticed me and screamed. The villagers then picked up pitchforks, torches, shovels, hoes, and many other tools they had lying around and attacked me full of wrath. Out of fear, I ran away, tripping a few times due to not being completely used to running on four legs and soon enough, I was back where I started.

It was still nighttime and with no place to go, I decided to rest where I was on the beach when I saw two green, bipedal, lizard men coming from the left. They both had three digits for their hands and feet, two horns coming from the back of their head, and the section from their lower jaws to the bottom of their abdomen was a lighter shade of green from the rest of their body. They each were holding two zigzagged blades in both hands and were wearing a brown, leather bag on a strap which hung from there shoulder to the opposite hip. They also wore a brown leather tool belt around their waist with many small bags. I got up and faced them. They seemed to be slightly startled when they saw me and for a few moments, we just stared at each other. The lizard people then turned their heads towards each other and nodded. They then beckoned me to follow them. And so I did.

We walked along the shore of th beach until we came across a cave in a smooth, gray cliff-side. Running out of the cave, was a stream whose water had a golden tint and glow to it. We walked into the cave whose inside was lit up by light-sources I couldn't see. Soon, the cave split into three different paths. One of the lizard men nodded at me and then headed down the left the path while the other headed down the right path. I went down the middle path which lead to a somewhat small room with a stone chair in the center. Over the back wall was a hole in which I could see the ocean and night sky outside. Since I was quadruped now, I couldn't use the chair and had to "sleep" on the floor in the back of the room, but before I did, I set the bag I had around my neck on the back wall.

I spent the next few "days" with the two lizard people who showed me many island landmarks such as some ruins in a cliff-side, a coral reef, a large rock in the middle of the forest, a fruit orchard, etc. or swimming around the island, doggy-style while they were hunting. Whenever it was dinner or lunch I would untie my bindle bag and eat a little of the Chinese food I had when I first gained consciousness on the island due to the fact I couldn't bear the idea of going out and killing things for my food. I would also drink the golden stream water as a drink as it turned out to be fresh. One "day", while walking on the beach alone, I came across a human girl who was all alone. She seemed to be in her early twenties, had light skin and straight, black hair, and wore a tattered dress. Due to the hospitality of the two lizard people, I decided I wanted to show that hospitality with the girl. I approached her and surprisingly, she wasn't scared. I beckoned towards her and she followed me to the back of the back wall of my room in the cave which I discovered while swimming around the island one "day". The cliff-side still made a roof over behind the wall, so she still could get shelter. I then went into my room only to see her knock down my blue, polka-dotted bag therefore losing all the food I had in the to-go boxes. She followed up by knocking down and breaking the water filter which provided the golden, fresh water in the cave. I was shocked. Then, in a fit of rage, I roared at her causing her to run off. After calming down a bit, I was filled with shame. I ruined the water source of the very people who helped me when nobody would. With no food, I decided it would be best if I left the island.

So, I swam away from the island in search of food and other islands. I traversed many tropical islands, which were all pretty similar to the island I "awoke" upon, caught some fish with my jaws of which I felt very guilty afterwards, and even saw a whale one time before finally waking up from what seemed to be a nearly endless dream.
