I dreamed I was on some sort of business trip to somewhere in Europe. It
wasn’t totally clear where, but the hotel was located in a forest of some
kind.

On the inside the hotel seemed to be my standard dream hotel. (The
elevators were working this time.

I had some sort of meeting up in one of the glass conference rooms high in
the tower. Once the meeting was over, I decided to go outside.

I took the elevator down to the lobby and walked outside. The area outside
the hotel entrance was mostly stone with lots of gilded wood around the
entrance. It looked more like the entrance to an old theater than a hotel.
There was a small stand with a man in uniform just outside the door.

“You’re here for the dragon show!” he said. “We’re just about to get
started!”
“I didn’t know there was a dragon show,” I said. “What does it involve?”
“Some of the local dragons come by the hotel and show off,” he said. “I
strongly recommend you stay here by the hotel entrance. If you move away
from the hotel entrance they might not know you’re a guest here, and that
could be bad.”
As he said this I saw a small group of people fly past the hotel on the
back of what looked like green pterodactyls. They went from left to right
through the woods on the other side of the road from the hotel. They were
only a few trees inside the edge of the forest and moved very quickly.

I turned to ask the man how they did that as they looked very real, but he
was walking towards the door.
“Aren’t you going to be here for the show?” I asked.
“Oh no. I’ll be inside until it is over.”

He went inside the hotel.
I turned back towards the woods when I heard a loud crashing noise that
sounded like a tree breaking.
Following the path that the pterodactyls had taken was a large shape. It
was farther into the woods than they had been, but still moving left to
right.
It was about the size of a bus and moving as fast as one would. But, it
did have more of a dragon shape. It was a dark grey/green so much more
difficult to make out in the dark forest than the bright green pterodactyls
had been.
I wasn’t sure if this really was a dragon, or something made up to look
like one as it didn’t move like something alive, but more like something
being pulled quickly through the woods.

As I was looking off to the right where the big shape had gone, two more
people came out of the hotel and stood there watching it with me.
They seemed very impressed and were pointing after the shape and saying how
nice it was to see a dragon.

A different thing started moving in the forest. It was starting a bit to
the left, but farther back than either of the other two things had been.
Unlike the others it was not moving left to right, but coming towards us
through the woods.
As it got a bit closer I could see it was a very realistic looking dragon
that was very large. I couldn’t tell how long as it was coming straight at
us, but standing on all fours on the ground it was at least 20 feet tall.
(6 meters)

It did not look in any way fake or unrealistic. It looked like it was a giant lizard
its skin and scales redish tingling to more of a tan on the outside.
It looked like it saw us standing there in front of the hotel and found that very interesting.

It got to the edge of the woods across the street from us and lifted its
head up quite high.
There was no doubt in my mind that this was the prelude to fire coming out.
The two other people seemed to think something similar and looked quite
frightened.
They began to run off to the side of the hotel.

“Don’t run!” I shouted at them, but they didn’t stop.
The dragon turned its head to follow them as they ran.
I jumped behind the little stand that the man had been standing behind when
I first came out. I knew it had the symbol of the hotel mounted on the
front and hoped the dragon would respect that.
I ducked as low behind it as I could.

The warm breeze of a fire breath came from off on my left. I didn’t not
look out from behind the stand, and nothing came to me there.

Dream ends

Last night my wife and I watched this week’s “Agents of Shield” that
involved two people dying in a nasty way in a glass conference room up high
in a tower.
I think some of that might be what informed this dream.
Not sure about the rest of it.
I don’t normally get dragons…
