Isn't the fairy Queen Mab supposed to be connected with bringing dreams and/or nightmares according to English folklore?

From wikipedia:
--- Quote ---Queen Mab is a fairy referred to in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet. She later appears in other poetry and literature, and in various guises in drama and cinema. In the play her activity is described in a famous speech by Mercutio written originally in prose and often adapted into iambic pentameter, in which she is described as a miniature creature who drives her chariot into the noses and into the brains of sleeping people to compel them to experience dreams of wish-fulfillment. She would also "plague" "ladies' lips" "with blisters", which is thought a reference to the plague or to herpes simplex. She is also described as a midwife to help sleepers 'give birth' to their dreams.

Me too, I'm sure it's somewhere, and I'll progress through the series then go back and check again. I didn't look thoroughly through GP because it's got so many instances of "nightmare" due to one of the main villain's having that as it's "name".
