"The Queen Mab speech is really stupid so Mercutio is trying to tell Romeo that dreams are stupid" - WORST possible answer you could be given. He relates Queen Mab to, as nicely as I can put this, whores. He describes a DARK, DARK world through a description of faries. Queen Mab brings dreams to each person, made for the specific person, lawyers dream of money and cases, lovers dream of love and soldiers dream of killing the enemy. It also says that Queen Mab makes women how they are.

∙ 12y agoRomeo takes his dreams fairly seriously, as evidenced in Act I scene iv. Though Mercutio believes that dreams are inconsistent and not to be trusted (this is a very simplified summary of Mercutio's thoughts on the matter), Romeo thinks they are very important and that they can give warnings or predict misfortune. Apparently Romeo has had some dream that is making him worry about going through with their plan of going to the party.
Romeo's uncertainty here is some pretty heavy foreshadowing because as it turns out, he meets Juliet at the party and their relationship doesn't exactly end well.
