Annotation:
	Suggests that "Shakespeare is drawn more to the meta-theatrical use of dreams in his comedies and romantic tragedies...whereas the more somber signification of dreams as otherworldly warning is more appropriate to English history plays and ... history based traged[ies]." Draws extensively on Midsummer Night's Dream and Richard III.
