ABSTRACT
Conventional wisdom says that dragons exist only in fantasy. The snarling, rebreathing, four-legged, winged reptilian creature of folklore, known for guarding great hoards of treasure and devouring young maidens and knights who were brave enough to challenge him, disappeared long ago into the mists of the ages (or a child’s maturation into adulthood). But if you have awakened from a restless sleep, breathing heavily, sweating, and feeling a fear that something terrible has happened or will happen and there is nothing you can do to prevent it, you have been visited by a dragon! The fear is usually associated with a responsibility that weighs so heavily that it is lived in the unconscious mind in dreams of reality, worry, concern, and anxiety.
