Other way around, bub. Space is about getting out of this life, possibly out of bodies and humanity altogether. Dragons are about as vital as it gets.
― Making like Melusine (Pyth), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:19 (twelve years ago) link
That's my theory for today, anyway.
Space is infinite.It is dark.Space is neutral.It is cold.
Stars occupy minute areas of space. They are clustered a few billion here. A few billion there. As if seeking consolation in numbers.Space does not care.
Space does not threaten.Space does not comfort.It does not sleep; it does not wake; it does not dream; it does not hope; it does not fear; it does not love; it does not hate; it does not encourage any of these qualities.Space cannot be measured. It cannot be angered, it cannot be placated. It cannot be summed up. Space is there.Space is not large and it is not small. It does not live and it does not die. It does not offer truth and neither does it lie.Space is a remorseless, senseless, impersonal fact.Space is the absence of time and of matter

Space is infinite and therefore symbol for an infinite number of possibilities, it's the widest canvas possible to project the self.
Dragons on the other hand have always been convenient shorthand for fears of the unknown, fears of the Other: remember the old maps that imagine a flat world where you could just sail and sail until you fell of the edge? And what awaited you there? "HERE BE DRAGONS"
(might be a reason to prefer dragons, actually)

You can't dance with dragons, but you can dance as freely as you want when you are in space. You're not bound by stupid old gravity.

Dragons are "monsters" and stand in for the unknown and un-conquered of all kinds. In particular, reptilian figures are often linked to that which is unknown about the earth/nature. I'm a big fan of that.
― Making like Melusine (Pyth), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:46 (twelve years ago) link
That is a compelling idea, and I love nature and its unknownness, but it's such an earth-limited view.
― La Lechera, former application inspector for the (league of women voters), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:48 (twelve years ago) link
I vote dragons because reptiles in myth get a bad rap and I think they're way more important than the sagas/Grimm Bros let on.
Since most dragons appear to have six limbs, I don't think they are reptiles. I guess they are some kind of giant insects or crustaceans?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
snakes have no limbs, are they not reptiles either?
― OH NOES, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, but the maximum number of limbs a reptile can have is four. Even snakes are descended from tetrapods.

I also think of it as interior space/dragon and exterior space/space, though? Like space is gonna make us as we know "us" obsolete, or so different that we won't know where we came from. (I was thinking the other night while wringing out laundry about what a world without gravity or with very weak gravity would be like, and realized the differences in how we would live were eclipsed by the greater differences in what would have evolved as "human" in the first place.)
Whereas dragons are gonna show you what was already in you that you didn't even know about; primal, secret things.
