Why is it certain things appear to permeate most mythology, such as the idea of dragons or vampires? Is it like the idea to explain the old Pantheons that they are simply explanations for natural events?

Well, about dragons permeating mythology: you might like to start with "Origin of dragon mythology?" by /u/artfulorpheus, and "Where do we get the modern image of dragons as large, flying, fire-breathing quadrupeds?" by /u/Lewed_Losel.

This is not to discourage discussion. More questions, data and debate are welcome.
