i noted it in "my dreams" topic but i wanted to elaborate more in a general topic as an invitation to discuss this idea i have.

the idea is that sometimes we dream parts of ourselves in a very clear manner, but why are they separated from ourselves? so we can see the parts as distinct imagery, thus a distinct meaning and emphasis? I've only just realized this now? What do you think? What parts do you have and what do they mean>?

the dream

i was in my childhood home and I sent a dragon to my aunt to kill her. (i don't know how)

It was not that big but I remember its tail was sooo long and it curled around himself. The tail was so long that it was like a huge snake.

i knew i told him to sit and wait for my aunt on her bookshelf. being very high and filled with stuff, she wouldn't realize the dragon was there.

my aunt came and i was looking outside the house, i could see flames and chaos inside. i was sure that my aunt died and i was happy about it, how could she survive a dragon?. but an ambulance came and i realized that she was still alive.

the dragon came to me and i asked him: why, how?. he did not speak, just looked at me in an expressionless way.

the meaning

this is a very clear and easy-to-understand dream for me. i had dream prophecies since 2016-2017 of my childhood house burning at night all the time and me unable to do anything (i was always calling for help but it did not work).

guess what: now in 2020 my mom argued with my aunt because of the house and attacked each other with rage and i was enraged too and we left. i also yelled at her. my childhood house is no longer my house now.

the part of my self

the dragon's gaze at the end reminded me of the baby fox that kept looking at me in a past dream noted here.

it was a look as if I was its owner and wouldn't let go of me. as if i could command it and control it and had no free will besides of me - so it's a part of me (?).

after researching the dragon, i think it's the angry emotions from inside of me: my mom lost her only house because my aunt's crazy and now she doesn't have a home, still. i was enraged in the past but i dont really feel angry now.

i think the dragon is a part of me, but why was I not the one that tried to kill my aunt directly?

i recall a very strong dream (the one with the "devil") in which i killed MYSELF the other, but still with the help of a mature woman (i remember ayelet telling me that she was the mature part of myself since it protected me at the beginning of the dream).

do dreams just show us the parts of ourselves in separate symbols?

dragon = strong, angry, fiery emotions
baby fox = shrewdness? deception?

the fox dream

The sky had a full moon.

I was carrying a baby fox in my arms, close to my chest.

My mom did not like it and kept pulling it by the tail, trying to get it away from me and to harm it. I got angry and moved away, covering the puffy baby fox with my arms.

I quickly went outside and stopped close to a forest. Snowy. Left the baby fox free. But it did not want to leave and go into the forest, it just kept on looking after me. I got sad but I did not give up and went deeper into the forest to let it go.

It just did not leave me. The fox was like a statue, looking at me constantly. No matter what I did. (same look as the dragon)

in every dream that i had when i was 10-12 years old, it would end with me being struck by lightning and waking up suddenly. in every dream i could feel the tension and fear of knowing that the lightning will hit me, but never knowing exactly when.

before these dreams (at 9 years old), i suddenly lost my home, family, money, future, normality. it happened so sudden, so unpredictably, i was young and didnt really understand why, how.

so, i was somehow stuck in this bubble of no matter what i do now, anything can happen suddenly and ruin it all > lightning strikes you.

I remember my dragon was humungous, red, with gold hair. It was an oriental/asian style dragon (which I noted). I recall it was bigger than a mansion, magnificent and intimidating. I also recall in one of my most recent dreams about this dragon, it was able to shrink in size so it could fit in my house and be near me one on one. When it was small I complimented it, and it blushed lol

As for the fox - I have many dreams about foxes, even foxes that are out of this world, with glowing fur. I also noted that foxes have a lot of mythologies in asian cultures, specifically Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Those cultures apply both benevolent and mischievous characteristics to foxes - some even thinking a fox can be a harbinger of celestial events. Some even think that they are symbolic of our connection to other realms.

"When a fox is fifty years old, it can transform itself into a woman. When it is one hundred, it becomes a beautiful woman or a shaman; some become men and have sex with women. They can know events from more than a thousand li away and are good at witchcraft, beguiling people and making them lose their senses. When they are a thousand years old, they can commune with the heavens and become heavenly foxes."

I usually apply eastern and western mythologies and beliefs together to come up with interpretations. (If and when applicable, I'll dive into Arabian/middle eastern lore, but I find it doesn't apply to me as much.)

I have also dreamed of phoenixes, especially several months before I have undergone an immense transformation of my mind and heart. Phoenixes as well are prevalent in some asian cultures, and western.

I've also dreamed of unicorns, but I've found those mainly in the west.

Throughout my life, asiatic themes have followed me, from people I don't know randomly gifting me things from asian cultures, to things appearing in my life. Maybe something similar could be said about you, and maybe looking to themes of your whole life since childhood can add to your interpretations? You also mention the fox's tail being pulled at. Perhaps think of the "9 tailed fox" and what the tails of a fox symbolize, and what each new tail means.
