Sister-in-law
Sister in law, Partner's sister, Brother's wife
Your sister-in-law is family you didn't grow up with, close enough to share holidays but new enough to feel like a guest now and then. In a dream she often reveals how you're settling into a family by marriage, or how you feel about your sibling's choice of partner. Getting along warmly suggests you've found an ally on the other side of the family. Tension may come from comparison, since sisters-in-law are often close in age and stage of life. Without a real sister-in-law, the figure can stand for a newcomer in your circle whom you're still figuring out.
Dream variations

- Your sister-in-law moving awayYou're worried a connection will fade with distance. A regular call can keep it alive.
- Your brother's new wifeYour sibling's life is changing, and so is your place in it. Welcome the newcomer; there's room for both of you.
