Daughter-in-law

A daughter-in-law often touches the new bonds that marriage folds into a family — closeness that can deepen happiness or stir disquiet. The dream may ask how a relationship joined to you by another's choice is sitting with you, whether it brings pleasant addition or unreasonable friction, and what unusual turn it's bringing to your home.
