Psychology
A crown marks the chosen, reflecting a wish for recognition and to use your power. In a Jungian reading, its perfect circle can suggest wholeness and maturity. A crown too heavy shows being crushed by status or expectations.
Folklore and history
Crowns have signified royal power and sanctity worldwide; European coronations framed authority as given by God. In Japanese, a bottle cap is also called oukan (crown) for its crown-like crimped edge. A shining crown means great success and honour.

This site's view
In this site's view, it splits on who crowned you. Crowning yourself is a sign of regained confidence; being crowned by another may foretell a role you never wanted. A rusty crown or missing jewels is a quiet warning against clinging to past glory.
Going deeper: our reading
A crown sits on top of the head, so the wearer can never see it; however brightly it shines, only others see it. Many people in Japan also remember weaving white clover into flower crowns as children, placing them on friends' heads or receiving one. Those simple crowns were care itself. In this site's reading, crown dreams can reflect both recognition you cannot see and kindness passed from person to person. Wearing a crown with no mirror and feeling anxious about how you looked may mean others rate you highly but you cannot feel it. Placing a flower crown on someone's head shows a sincere wish to celebrate their good qualities. Being celebrated in a paper birthday crown reflects a longing to be treated as special. This is our speculation, but a flower crown wilting suggests sadness as the innocent friendships of childhood drift away.
What to do on waking
Recall one thing you did well lately and praise yourself for it. Even a tiny coronation straightens your posture.
