I like Abigail and the Elixir of Tears. It lends itself to sequels. However, Harry Potter also did that and publishers might want to steer away from it. Although given the success they may be looking for something with a title in the same fashion.

I also like Dreams in the Dragon's House.

I think I am going with Dreams in a Dragon's House

"Dreams in the Dragon's House" stands out far more for me than any of the rest, and is much more evocative. It's the only one that really seems to make the dragon central and active (it takes a certain sort of entity to have a house) rather than notable only for what it possesses or modifies. It raises a lot of questions: Is the dragon dreaming? Is someone else dreaming about the dragon? Is someone else in the dragon's house, dreaming about something else entirely? What sort of dragon has a house? What sort of house does a dragon have? What sort of dreams can be contained within a house, or what sort of house can contain dreams? I want to read the book to find the answers to those questions.

Awesome. That's really helpful.

Glad I could help! I'm terrible at thinking up titles, so I really envy anyone who can come up with one that good.
