What it means to dream about mirror
Two readings: the one the old dream book gives, and what this dream actually means.
What the traditional dream book says
In the dream books a mirror means the truth about yourself and a meeting with who you are. Breaking one means discord and trouble, a clouded one means confusion, and a stranger's face in it means change.
What the dream really reflects
A mirror is the most honest dream. It shows you how you see yourself. If you like the reflection, you're at peace. If you look away or don't know the face, there's something in you that you haven't accepted yet. It asks if you're ready to look straight at yourself. I work the way glass does, by reflecting, and I read no futures in it.
What changes the reading
The same dream reads differently, and here is what shifts it.
- A broken mirror
- The picture you hold of yourself has cracked. Something in the way you see yourself has come apart, and you're still holding the pieces.
- Not recognizing yourself
- There's a part of you that you don't accept or that you've lost track of. The reflection has gone unfamiliar, and that unsettles you.
- A stranger's face in the mirror
- An unknown side of you is surfacing. Something new is looking back at you from the glass, and it has been there a while.
FAQ
Is dreaming about mirror a good sign or a bad one?
Neither one directly, because a dream does not prophesy. It shows your state, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh once you look closely. Mirror here is a mirror rather than a sentence.
The dream reflected you for one night. The chart of the sky holds your whole reflection.
