In the context of Shakespeare's Richard III, the motif of the King is linked to prescient dreams reported by men of royal blood. The source identifies King Edward IV, George, Duke of Clarence, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later King Richard III), and Lord Stanley (father-in-law of the future King Henry VII) as characters who report such dreams. These dreams are described as seeming prescient only after they are dreamt, contributing to the play's eerie and after-worldly ambience alongside blessings and curses.
In the analysis of Richard III, prescient dreams are reported by all men of royal blood, including King Edward IV and Richard, Duke of Gloucester. The source notes that these dreams seem prescient only after the dream is dreamt. This observation is part of a literary analysis of the play's ambience, not a clinical study of dreamers. The source does not provide data on the prevalence of king-related dreams in the general population. The study cannot establish what a specific individual's dream about a king means for their personal life.
A published account does not establish a universal meaning for your dream.
