Daughter
To dream of a daughter once signified that displeasing troubles would give way to pleasure and harmony — but if she failed to meet your wishes, by any cause, vexation and discontent followed. The figure turns on expectation: what you hope she will be, set against what she is. Perhaps the dream asks where your peace depends on someone meeting your wishes, and what it costs when they don't.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for daughter, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of your daughter, signifies that many displeasing incidents will give way to pleasure and harmony. If in the dream, she fails to meet your wishes, through any cause, you will suffer vexation and discontent.
