Family
Family in dreams often reflects how you feel about connection itself—whether you're held or holding on, whether there's ease or effort in belonging. The faces may be literal or symbolic, but the emotional temperature matters most: harmony whispers of inner peace, while discord asks what remains unreconciled within.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for family, 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 one's family as harmonious and happy, is significant of health and easy circumstances; but if there is sickness or contentions, it forebodes gloom and disappointment.
Fontaine, 1862
If a man or woman dreams that they have a large family, it is a sign of thrift and riches. Such a dream is a lucky one to anybody.
