A queen is a person of royalty, and it’s not unusual to dream of queens and kings or even princesses and knights in our dreams. Understanding the meaning of a queen in our dreams can help us discover quite a lot about ourselves and how it applies to our current waking life.

What Does it Mean to Dream of a Queen?

A queen in our dreams often signifies feelings of power and being in charge. We often see queens as majestic leaders of a nation or empire. Royalty in our dreams can be a sign of feeling like we are deserving better in our own lives or it can mean that we are feeling like we are on top of the world.

Power & Leadership

The queen is a symbol of strength and power. If you dream of this symbol, it could mean that you are preparing to lead the way into victory in some aspect of your life.

Are you kind and benevolent in your leadership of others, or do you behave like a cruel dictator? Do you feel as if you are a worthy leader? Sometimes this dream symbol will appear when you may feel like you are not as fully in control as you would like to be.

A queen can also often be a character archetype in our dreams – see types of people in dreams to understand more about dream archetypes.
