Answer 1

No nothing to do with old William.  And you cannot dream about someone you have not met yet - stop trying to go through life so safe and have some fun embrace the unknown

Answer 2

I think it is considered to be the night of the Summer Solstice, or the full moon night of the first day of summer which is tonight, June 18, 2008.

Shakespeare wrote the play "Midsummer Night's Dream" based on the mythology, legends, and traditions of the season.  

In Scandinavian countries, the night before Midsummer, every young girl places a bunch of flowers tied with nine pieces of grass or nine flowers under her pillow, upon which she will sleep and dream of her future husband.

In Ireland each young woman places yarrow under her pillow to dream of her mate.

Here is a link to a site which lists the dates and times for the midsummer full moon.  In this year it lists June 18th.
