The mother-in-law is not only the subject of many a joke but the subject of fairy tale and myth. Conflict between the older and younger woman lies in the archetypal realm, as both struggle to come to terms with differences, age, and the power of both youth and age.

The Dream:

Somehow my baby\\u2019s right arm has come completely out of her socket and is completely detached. I try to put it back into her socket, hoping for a miracle (which doesn\\u2019t happen) so I put her back into her cot. Later, I look for her, thinking I need to feed her but cannot find her. I search high and low, still there\\u2019s no baby. By chance, I find her in another room, it was like she was deliberately moved there. Her skin is very cold but she is alive. Her arm is still detached. I\\u2019ll have to take her to the doctor\\u2019s, I think, and get her arm sewn on, if that\\u2019s even possible. I wake up.
