Traditional reading
The mother-in-law is the elder of the family you've newly joined, so her attitude in a dream was seen as telling you how household matters will go. If she treats you kindly, your home will be stable; if she's cold, there may be family matters to worry about.
Through the heart
It's a dream that holds both a wish to be recognized and the pressure of having to watch your step. Rather than the actual relationship, stress about the role you've taken on may have appeared in the form of your mother-in-law.
