A perhaps better way to express is would be that dragons
becoming more otherworldly (and this extends somewhat to the world
around them, perhaps), giants less (eventually becoming mundane
themselves). As part of this, Dragons are less bound by the confines
of their body (their dreams wander around independently), while
giants eventually become nothing but their body.
The Dragon Giant war could thus be seen as a fable of a war
to determine the nature of reality.
