Kings, queens, crowns and palaces are archetypes of authority and worth. In dreams, royalty usually reflects your relationship to power, dignity, and your own sense of sovereignty — or points toward the deepest centre of the psyche, the Self, which the king and queen have symbolized across cultures for millennia.
A rise in self-worth, authority, or recognition. You are stepping into your own sovereignty and dignity.
An encounter with an inner authority — a wise, governing part of yourself, or the deep centre of the Self.
A loss of authority or self-worth, or a sense that the ruling principle in your life has been dethroned.
Deference to an authority — inner or outer — and a question of whether it is worthy of your service.
Pride at being crowned reflects rising self-worth. Awe before royalty reflects reverence for an inner or outer authority. Discomfort with a ruler often mirrors tension with power, your own or another's.
The king and queen are archetypes of the Self — the organising centre and highest authority of the whole psyche. To dream of royalty is often to encounter this governing principle, the part of you that rules with wisdom and dignity. It can also reflect your waking relationship to power, status, and your own sense of worth.
Ask where you stand in relation to your own authority and worth. The dream may be crowning a dignity you have not claimed, or pointing you toward the wise ruler within. Sovereignty begins with governing yourself well.
This is the meaning of the symbol. A reading reveals your dream — its people, its feelings, its message for you alone.
