Wow ok, I see now. Active imagination. That's cool. Are you able to actually visualize things? When I've tried I mostly just sort of imagine things, with no visuals or what I call pre-visuals, sort of a dim idea of what it might look like but nothing clear. Occasionally some things become more clear, but I haven't been able to get anything in sharp focus. If I try it after waking up it works a lot better for visuals, but I tend not to have much if any control, and I can just fall back asleep. Hard to find the right balance.

If you're doing dragons - do you watch Jordan Peterson? A few things about your post make that seem likely. So a dragon would be a cat snake bird with fire who guards a treasure, and if you defeat it then you get to bring the treasure back. My first thought is that kind of monster you definitely don't beam love at. But then I thought maybe it's your shadow, in which case that would probably be exactly the right reaction. If you were going to try to beat it, you don't usually fight a dragon, they have to be tricked. Maybe bargained with - many dragons talk. Anyway, I'm just thinking out loud here.
