I don't know what other people saw, but yesterday I was stopped at the traffic lights, facing north, and there were thunderheads and rain clouds in the sky. And because I had time to look, I actually saw a cloud picture of a massive Lion-Dog-Dragon with its mouth agape, facing West (the body of the dragon went right across the city of Perth). The open mouth would have been as large as a tall skyscraper. I could see the detail of the inside of the mouth (which appeared to be a kind of snarl, or ready to gobble something right up); and popping eyes, very similar to some of the images I post below. The sight of the mouth transfixed me, and I got quite scared. I had to turn right at that intersection, and lost sight of it for 10 minutes. When I turned back north again on the freeway, it was still there for the next 30 minutes or so, but much diminished and no longer frightening. I did about 20 mantras of protection and clearing, which I feel may have hastened the dissolution of the cloud. I realised the face looked like a dog, but the body looked like a dragon. Now that I have looked it up on the internet, I see that the Chinese have a name for that in Feng Shui - Fu Dog.
From the amount of cloud art (both drawn as a graphic, photo-shopped, or just captured on film) which depict dragons in the sky, this is obviously quite a common occurrence. But maybe people (artists) just dream about it. Do they actually see it? My vision was in broad daylight (about 2:30pm), the clouds were backlit, and were thus very detailed, more whitish than black, but the body swirled off as a heavy black cloud. The fact that I could see dimension in the cloud picture, in through the mouth, was the thing that scared me the most, and made me check two or three times so I could verify what I was seeing.
I should mention there was a vortex in this cloud - as the cloud dissipated this was much more obvious. Perhaps there is a thing about etheric beings and vortexes being in close proximity?
"Chinese Guardian Lions or Imperial Guardian Lions are often called the Fu Dogs, and are placed inside or outside buildings to block negative energies. Depicted as ferocious beasts or Shishi - as they are referred to, Fu Dogs first made their appearance as stone temple dogs. The striking features of the statue - flowing manes and wide-open mouths - signified that they were protecting the place."
"It is interesting to note that the lion is not an animal indigenous to China. It is believed that travelers to China brought stories about lions as Buddhist protectors of Dharma. Statues of lions were modeled in feng shui based on the travelers' descriptions and drawing inspiration from native dogs."
Shishi lions - Shrine & Temple guardians with magical powers to repel evil
Shishi (or Jishi) is translated as "lion” but it can also refer to a deer or dog with magical properties and the power to repel evil spirits. A pair of shishi traditionally stand guard outside the gates of Japanese Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples, although temples are more often guarded by two Nio Protectors. The Shishi (like the Nio) are traditionally depicted in pairs, one with mouth open and one with mouth shut. The opened/closed mouth relates to Ah (open mouth) and Un (closed mouth). “Ah" is the first sound in the Japanese alphabet, while "N" (pronounced "un") is the last. These two sounds symbolize beginning and end, birth and death, and all possible outcomes (from alpha to omega) in the cosmic dance of existence. The first letter in Sanskrit is "Ah" as well, but the last is "Ha." Nonetheless, the first and last sounds produced by the mouth are "Ah" and "M." The Sanskrit "m" and the Japanese "n" sound exactly the same when hummed with mouth closed. The spiritual Sanskrit terms AHAM and AUM thus encapsulate the first letter-sound (mouth open) and the final sound (mouth closed). Others say the open mouth is to scare off demons, and the closed mouth to shelter and keep in the good spirits. The circular object often shown beneath their feet is the Tama 玉, or sacred Buddhist jewel, a symbol of Buddhist wisdom that brings light to darkness and holds the power to grant wishes
