dragon defense analogue for white?

Greetings!  In an attempt to better myself at the game of chess I am trying to get better at having a "game plan" for each game.  With this in mind I decided to try to establish a regular defense as black which for now is the sicilian dragon or hyper-accelerated dragon defense.  Now going back to playing white, is there an established line of attack that would be similar to the generalized strategy of the dragon defense? For instance one that would perhaps typically force a king's side bishop fianchetto? My thinking is this way I could try to attack each game with a similar high level strategy. What do you think? Thanks!

King's Indian Attack?

English Opening.

Check out the Reti System (Reti Opening) and the King's Indian Attack (KIA). You will recognise many Dragon ideas with the colours reversed. But because you cannot force black to play e5 and d5, it is not exactly the same as the Dragon either...

I think the idea of having a white opening that uses the same ideas as your black openings is good. I combine KIA as white with Pirc and King's Indian as black. But maybe you want to learn some sharper openings with white in addition.

Thanks guys.  And I'm glad you agree on the idea of trying to practice some of the same ideas across colors.
