Thread: A Fairytale Like Dream

This morning I woke up in a state of awe. I had the same exact dream repeat itself just before I woke. There was only one difference where my animal/beast companion changed from an owl to a dragon.

The dream:
My older sister and I are some kind of royalty. We live in a cold and gray castle with the usual medieval fantasy adornments. Our parents, I am immediately aware of, have just mysteriously and violently died. I suspect this type of 'Royal Adviser' (who is in all ways but physical appearance is Jaffar from the Disney cartoon Aladdin). I am also immediately aware of the fact that he is actively trying to keep my sister and me from our royal inheritance (the kingdom and other treasures). I find myself in a high tower where I discover two extremely large pearls (each one is as large as two balled fists places together). It is very evident that these pearls were meant for my sister and me. In secret I hand my sisters over and tell her how I came across them. She is ill witted enough to tell the evil Adviser that I found something very important and I am immediately chased from the castle. I feel I am running for my life and in the pursuit the pearl falls and shatters on the ground. Out from its remains comes a lot of smoke and glowing lights. All the sudden a dragon (a very very large dragon) is in front of me but there is an instant understanding between us. I jump onto its back and we fly to safety. I spend a time with the dragon just flying through the air completely happy. We realize that we have to go back to the castle and save the kingdom from the evil guy. We manage to sneak back, the dragon is always next to me despite the fact that I am running around the castle in stealth as I try to find my sibling. We find her but the pearl, that I now know is suppose to hold a dragon, but it has gone dull. I have the thought "dead pearl" which seemed very important. I realize that my older sibling has become a kind of puppet monarch and does not care at all what happens to the people of the kingdom or herself or mine. I try to take her with me anyway but she is wasting time waiting for the evil guy to show up and tell her what to do next. Me and my dragon then stage a kind of gorilla warfare on the soldiers loyal to the evil guy. Eventually we win. We fly around some tree tops a bit more and return to the castle where my dragon simply fades away. I immediately find myself touched by grief because I realized I was in love with the dragon and (because of dream creator logic) I am positive it loved me as deeply. This love is not sexual, but it is romantic and our relationship through the dream reflected that.

This is where I woke up. (This dream occurred twice before I did wake. The first time the pearl, which as then a horn made of bone, called out an extremely large owl. All the exact same events happen except I am not in love with this creature. The dream ends when the creature fades away to leave me to take over the country. Then the dream plays again and this time just as it happened above with the dragon.)

Later this same day I took a nap and continued the dream. I am queen, have been for some time but I am very reserved and always slightly sad. I see myself as if through a narrators eyes and I watch as I jump from the tallest tower and fall. My body disintegrates into smoke while in the air and all that is left to touch the ground is the clothes and jewels I was wearing. I am aware that as I fell I was emotionally and mentally returning to be with my dragon.

I wake again.

Fairytale to the max I know, but I would really like some ideas about what it might mean. Thank you.
