I had a dream last night. I remember quite a few details, and it is very... involved. I was in a group of people in a settlement in the mountains. Of the entire group, there were only eight younger people, and I was one of the younger ones. They were all my friends, but one was a boy that I was deeply in love with. None of us had ever been allowed outside before, because there was a great danger in going outside that hadn't yet been explained to us. The day came that we were to be brought outside by a guide, who would show us how beautiful it was, and would also keep an eye out for the danger. The guide opened a door, and it was very light, and very green, and very beautiful. While everyone else rushed outside to see, I hesitated at the door. Everyone gathered around a tree, it being the first tree we had ever seen, except me at the door, and the one I was in love with, who turned around and smiled, and waved his hand for me to come to him, and I felt suddenly very confident and stepped out toward him. At that moment, a dragon came down from the sky, rough and scaled, no arms, large head, pinkish; and landed on him, and ripped off his arms. His blood spattered on my face, and I ran out to try and save him, but the dragon flew off, and he turned into a blue version of the dragon, and flew off as well. Everyone scattered among the buildings to get away from them. From here on it gets confusing. I saw from the blue dragon's eyes as it killed people, saw from the eyes of 3 of the people he killed, and was also myself at that time. The people in the community tried to kill the dragons, but I foiled their efforts, because one of them was once the I loved, and I still loved him. When there were only two of us left, we escaped to the watchtower, which had a system of slides to transport whoever was watching back to the safety of the warehouses we lived in. The dragons chased us up the slides and blocked off our escape. My companion was ripped in half, and I jumped off the tower and hid beneath a dumpster and the dragons flew away. I could see the dragons flying around in the distance, and I knew I was going to die. I kept thinking, "They're coming, they're coming." And then I realized that I had lost everything anyway, and I went out to meet them, and they flew toward me to kill me, and then I woke up.
The dragon can represent your unconscious or a part of you that you haven't discovered or developed yet. I think the tree represents your potential, because a tree is a great thing that grows from a tiny seed. The dragon is dangerous and kills people because you are worried about aspects of yourself that could be bad or dangerous if you don't handle them correctly. Death in a dream often just means change and movement to a new stage in life, so knowing that the dragon was going to kill you meant that you know that it is time to develop your potential and move on in life. The one you love in the dream could represent parts of your personality that you are attached to and are afraid that you will lose as you move on.
