The work the Water Dragon leads us in is important for growth and tending the should, but note the warning side to this card. Work up to shadow work and dealing with traumas and so forth. Diving too deeply too soon could make it hard to resurface.

WATER DRAGON – PASSION, DEPTH, CONNECTION
Meaning: The Water Dragon brings that which is hidden into the light of day. Memories and wishes, which may have long lain forgotten or repressed in the Unconscious, may emerge to frighten or overwhelm you with their apparent negativity or destructiveness. Facing these experiences with compassion and courage will, in the end, bring you to an experience of a greater depth of soul and a greater sense of connectedness to all life. Although you may at times feel overwhelmed with emotion, with time you will be able to achieve a sense of balance and stability, as these strong feelings are integrated in your consciousness.
This card could also be a warning to approach the exploration of our psyche and our past with caution. The conscious self can absorb the impact of only a limited amount of repressed or unconscious material being released into awareness. It is wise to work fractionally, little by little, to integrate unconscious material into achieved slowly. Beware also of allowing your emotions to rule you in a way that later you will regret.
