I was actually hoping somebody would counter what I posted, and you did a great job of it . The only thing I have to say is that you seem to have missed one detail at the end. I understand the fact that those of us who "claim" to have been dragons, few actually believe are from this planet. That is why I said:

Weelll... in a roundabout way of keeping myself awake more than a serious attempt at coming back to the forum... here's what I think on the proof sort of idea.
As for why I think dragons exist... the universe is very big. The galaxy, even, is very big. It's so big that most people thinking they understand just how gigantic just the galaxy is are in fact mistaken. It takes about a hundred thousand years for light, the fastest object with non-imaginary mass, to go from end to end of the galaxy. It's quite large. The area that can support life, while comparatively kind of small, is still ridiculously big. Again, people don't realise how huge the area that can support life is. Now, the number of suns that can have planets supporting life (the metal-rich suns) is pretty low at around five percent. But again, I would like to point out that at this point five percent is... what? A couple thousand? It's fairly likely that almost all of these suns have had or will have, at some point, a planet within the suitable range for sustaining life. It then comes down to this. What are the odds of it? Well, within the galaxy, the odds are actually quite low because of the myriad different forms of life that could theoretically exist. But there are lots of galaxies in the universe that could theoretically sustain life in the same manner that the Milky Way does (in the form of one tiny little planet called Earth and possibly more), and the odds of it then go up enormously because of the sheer number of chances that the universe gives. The universe is very big. Somewhere, somewhen, inside the universe, there has to be a dragon.
As for why I think I'm one... people who know me will know that I don't. But as for why I think I'm non-human (mentally at the very least), that has lots of answers that all raise lots of questions. The simplest one is that I don't remember one time in my life where I honestly believed I was human. The questions that raises are what did I think I was, how did I rationalise the conclusion, and similar things. None of which I'll bother answering. The most complex answer as for why I don't believe I'm human is because I have this unusual sort of "phantom limbs" feeling that others describe... only thing is that while most others I've heard of describing such a feeling have the distinction of theirs being definite in form while mine shifts depending on what I'm thinking. It's like my mind overflows my body, and it's been like this for, genuinely, as long as I remember. I talk to "normal" people about it occasionally, and they're always confused as to what I mean when I say, for instance, that I have an itch but it's outside my body. In a pen, for example, as the case has been more times than one. They can't really comprehend being able to feel anything outside your body, let alone something that actually exists like a pen or a table. I can't really comprehend having the sort of senses that they do; if I were them, I'd find it very difficult to navigate anywhere. Then there's the whole consideration of my less-than-stable personality... I have honestly never met someone who changes his/her mind about important issues on life, morals, and the universe more often. My whole attitude is just chaotic. It makes life fun. But other "human"s don't do that, so while that in and of itself is far from decisive evidence that I am a non-human in a human body it does serve to strengthen the idea in my mind.
But just overall and in general, I can't relate to the majority of people. I go so far as to lump people into two different groups, humans and... different people. You can sometimes tell them apart by watching how they move. I can, at least; it's odd, but some people just carry themselves a little different. A little less or more upright, or with their hands in a different place. It's through the habits that you see into one's mind, so I guess I'm just judging their minds based on the habit of posture, and there's a difference that you can pick up on between those two groups. Well, that I can. I can't speak for anyone else, and maybe I'm just crazy; I've thought that, too. And yes, that would still make me count myself as non-human; insanity is far from the normal human method of thinking and therefore distinct. In my opinion. You may have another. _________________ Happy Fourth of July everybody!

You shouldn't feel absolutely certain about anything other than your own existence in the universe. How can you be sure of anything else? Have you tried the "matrix" scenario? I doubt that you have 100% certainty in your draconity and I doubt the very notion that anybody even COULD be 100% certain of something like that. I'm not even 100% certain of my human body! (again, everything could just be a big dream, etc.) How do you know that you're not really a rhino? You could be sleeping and this could be nothing but a huge dream, and maybe in reality you're a rhino and neither humans nor dragons really exist.
The likelyhood of this is admittedly small, perhaps too small even to be measureable. But is it flat 0%? No. What you really have is what I refer to as "sufficient certainty". The thing is that you don't HAVE to believe in something with absolute certainty in order to be able to say you believe in it. It just has to be LIKELY.

Very few claim to be dragons from Earth, where, as I've said before, there is no evidence that anything of the sort existed (and no, legends are not evidence). The vast majority of people, on almost very forum I've been on, say that they were from other, not-Earth planets. In those cases, the myths and legends from this planet simply aren't an issue. |

I agree, there is a chance that a dragon is out there, somewhere. Although I also believe in the multiple universe interpretation. If that interpretation is correct, that would mean that there is a nearly infinite amount of universes, which would mean that the chance that there is a dragon out there, dramatically increases. |

I have actually seen a dragon before. It was white with bat-like wings and a long neck with a head that resembled a snake's. It couldn't be any other creature than a dragon _________________ A dragon living in a *blek*, I mean a human body click on it please if you want it to live |

I think it doesn't matter where and when (brackers sorry if i'm butting in just joined ) Hey they have actually scientifically proved the existance of dragons sorta. You know how birds are related to dinosuars? Well in between the evolution, there were raptors with wings, what do they look like? DRAGONS! just without fire breath.
Also I have a gaurdian called Shurikan, he follows me Everywhere, I can't always see him, but I hear him, and I can feel his presence. he gets upset when a dragon hater teases me, (happens often, i'm known as dragon lady at school, in a negative way )
Any how thats my proof, both spiritually and scientifically! Pm me please anyone to discuss my very long and winded theories more! |

| raptor-types with wings look like *birds* not like the dragons of earth mythos. Wyverns always had membranous wings, not feathers. |
