ועוד שאלתי כשעונים בבהמ"ז ברוך שאכלנו משלו וכו' אם צריך מלכות והזכרות שם אם לאו:
I also asked [in my dream]: when we respond, during the blessing after meals, with the phrase "Blessed is He, of whose food we have eaten" - do we need to refer to the name and kingship of God, or not?1i.e, should the formulation use one of the names of God and the word referring to God as king. See Berachot 40b:6 . The Raavad (cited in Rashba on Berakhot 54a) suggests that the reason that kingship is not recited in the this phrase of the blessing after meals is that it will be mentioned in the subsequent paragraphs. I have not found any other early sources claiming that kingship should be recited here.

והשיבו הלא ידעת אם לא שמעת אלהי עולם ה' בורא קצות הארץ, ואם לא תמליכוהו במה תברכוהו:
They responded: "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is God from of old, creator of the earth from end to end." (Isaiah 40:28) - for if you do not crown Him, in what way shall you bless Him?
