In the provided sources, the term 'Queen' appears in two distinct contexts. First, in a psychoanalytic analysis of Shakespeare's *Richard III*, 'queens of England' refers to widowed royal women who deliver blessings, curses, and prophecies, representing a 'wishfully omnipotent stance' against helplessness. Second, in a discussion of sleep imagery, the 'Queen of Night' is cited as the mythological mother of Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death), linking the concept to the biological and mythic dimensions of sleep and dreams.

In the psychoanalytic study of *Richard III*, widowed queens of England are depicted as delivering blessings and curses that assume a wishfully omnipotent stance. This analysis suggests these royal women use such proclamations to counter their helplessness within the play's ruthless backdrop. In the context of sleep and dream imagery, the 'Queen of Night' is identified as the mythological mother of Hypnos and Thanatos. The source notes that myths from different cultures are influenced by the experience of sleep and its inner world of pictures, or dreams. These sources do not provide empirical data on the prevalence of dreaming about queens in the general population. The findings are limited to literary interpretation and mythological association, not clinical or statistical dream research.
