Overall Interpretation:
Your dream reflects a situation in your life where you feel a deep-seated issue or problem (the dragon) is affecting your family's well-being and your valuables (whether emotional, financial, or otherwise). Despite your efforts to confront it honestly and transparently, there are components beyond your control, like someone else's (the mother's) influence, allowing this challenge to persist. There might be a need to address these external permissions or tackle the situation from a different angle to protect and preserve what matters most to you.
