King
Kings in dreams often surface when we're wrestling with questions of authority — both the power we answer to and the power we might claim for ourselves. Perhaps the dream is asking where ambition lives in you, or whether the throne you seek is one you truly want to occupy.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for king, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a king, you are struggling with your might, and ambition is your master.
To dream that you are crowned king, you will rise above your comrades and co-workers.
If you are censured by a king, you will be reproved for a neglected duty.
For a young woman to be in the presence of a king, she will marry a man whom she will fear. To receive favors from a king, she will rise to exalted positions and be congenially wedded.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a king denotes that the dreamer is ambitious and will be disappointed. If you dream you speak to a king it is a happy omen, and is a sign of riches and honor.
