In Act I, scene iv of "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo is about to tell Mercutio about a dream that he had. Mercutio is quick to cut Romeo off and tell him about Queen Mab. According to Mercutio and the speech that he gives in this scene, Queen mab is the dream fairy -- she is the fairy who gives people their dreams and decides what they will dream about. There are several examples that are given within this speech -- for example women dream of kisses, priests dream of tithes, lawyers dream of money (fees), etc. Within this speech (toward the beginning) Mercutio also discusses how small this Queen Mab is.
Romeo talks about his dreams more than once. In Act I Scene iv he reports that he had a disturbing dream: Romeo: And we mean well in going to this masque; But 'tis no wit to go. Mercutio: Why, may one ask? Romeo: I dreamt a dream tonight. However, we never find out what that dream was because Mercutio blathers on and on about Queen Mab and won't let Romeo get a word in edgeways. In Act V, Scene i, Romeo talks about his dreams again and says, "If I may trust the flattering truth of sleep, my dreams presage some joyful news at hand." He describes this dream in some detail, but of course it is not a dream that he is disturbed by--rather the opposite.
