Dream of children

I had a very vivid dream where I had awoken two great ancient forces: a dragon and a tiger. The two beasts, monolithic in size, were arch nemeses pitched against each other for all eternity. I was paired with the dragon, and my friend was paired with the tiger. The fight broke loose in the ancient chamber of the desert.. All of us, the beasts, my friend and I could fly. The Earth quaked in the battled and the sands flowed like unstoppable tides. The chamber of the desert was destroyed and the fight shifted towards a modern oriental city after following the power lines. A vivid scene took place before we entered the city: a blazing sun setting in the background, the night was to come. It was apparent that both beasts were evenly matched and the battle would continue to rampage. However, the tiger was at advantage in the urban setting and the dragon was at advantage in the woods (the parks of the city). The fight shifted between the two. My former friend and I either fought along side our beasts or apart, the struggle dire. Suddenly and unprovoked, I awoke, and when I drifted back into sleep again, I asked a man about the dragon and the tiger. He scoffed saying "they were never here" pointing out a children's paper toy of the two.
