I know what a dragon is. But what does the dragon mean? Is it a symbol of power, a monster and actual creature or what?

The dragon is a mythical creature typically depicted as a large and powerful serpent or other reptile with magical or spiritual qualities. Mythological creatures possessing some or most of the characteristics typically associated with dragons are common throughout the world's cultures.

It depends what culture you are talking about. In European cultures it was a monster, sometimes a symbol of power. Other cultures, in Asia, thought that some were monsters and others were nice and controled the forces of nature. They were also symbols of power. A dragon is real if you believe in it, but if you don't for you it is not real. Many dragons look the same because people are people and have base instincts to fear the same things, a dragon is all of those things put together.

A dragon is what you think it is. Well, it's a mythological creature, and obviously never existed.
A symbol of power...
An unpleasent firebreathing creature...
Is usually depicted with four legs and wings, a long barbed tail, usually knotted, and a body protected by scales. When the dragon is drawn without wings he is called a lindworm; without feet, a serpent; when he hangs by the head, it represents a conquered dragon.
