That is exactly the point of Minfillia her question, I think. They found an acient religious text that stated Saint Shiva slept with a dragon... and both Minfillia and Alphinaud question the accuracy of the text (in part because it is hard to imagine the physical act, in part because the text isn't exactly an accurate historical one).

I doubt we will ever get a real answer on whether it was literal or metaphorical, though.
