Answer 1

Actually 'fighting the dragon' is also a term used to describe the battle of depression.

.. Otherwise the only dragons I fight are in my sleep. :D

Answer 2

Interesting! Did you know that the Knights of old slew many fire breathing dragons in the days of yore? Historians believe that this was the large Komodo dragons that were the fire breathing dragons of the ancient days. To kill one with lance and sword took a very brave person, wouldn't you say?
