Dragon energy is that which traverses the space between heaven and earth, and the type of  'dragon response' which arises from the potential energy in that space (thoughts/hopes/dreams/ memories/ lost souls/ fears/ all the levels of 4th dimensional space up to the 5th dimensional) has the purpose to be called into action or presence by the needs of a sleeping (collective) human 'body'.

The dragon energy is  that which takes form, called into being  as a result of the energies emanating from earth, which require a response of energy  in a powerful form, from the 'heavens' to be projected on to the earth.

Where the heavens are all that the 3rd dimensional space and time 'cannot see and is unaware of, and imagines about'
.
The 'dragon being' is the form which takes the directive to respond to these wonderings and imaginings of the heavens,  the creation of which, is manifestation of an unknown force but derived from and governed by those doing the wondering and imagining.

But it also became the symbol of human fear as when summoned into being, it is created from the fire energy used to call it forth. Cause and effect...

Where the dragon energy presence was the effect called to earth .....
humanity's  cries out from their caves into the great unknown, the space between heaven and earth was the cause.... that created the type of effect resulting in the resultant dragon being.

Then of course, things get lost in translation. As humans think of  dragons as  'forms and identities' which are separate to them, and are not linked with what they, humans, conjure up in their fears or their hopes and exist separately to them.

Dragon medicine is created from the energy between heaven and earth, as a direct result from whatever is needed to mirror back to earth at any given time, to balance, to reflect to antidote, to deliver messages, etc.

Humans created the dragons through their own power, be it love, bravery, fear, wrath, magic and alchemy.

Eventually the 'power of dragon' to humans became obsolete, it became usurped, it changed over time and in some cases the 'images of dragon' were used by other astral plane dwellers for various other reasons, mainly not helpful but to project false masks behind which they, the dwellers in the astral could hide.

But dragon energy has not disappeared. It is respected and called by many, the energy as always responds, but use it wisely.

The above is A watercolour drawing by me back in 2012, called Dragons blood. Dragons blood is the first canvas on which human mind energy could create.

The life blood is a mixture of energy, desire and need to create and express. Isn't that what we are here for.

Just sayin...
