What It Means to Dream About Mirrors
Dreaming of a mirror is read as a dream that represents a desire to look at yourself, and an awareness of your true appearance.
The Basic Meaning
In dream interpretation, a mirror is a symbol of self-understanding. The figure reflected in a mirror is read as representing yourself as seen by others, and a side of yourself you had not noticed. A dream of looking into a mirror represents a desire to check your own condition, and a season when you want to tidy your impression. Whether the reflection is bright or clouded reflects your self-evaluation at the time and how clear your heart is.
What It Means in Different Situations
Looking at Your Own Face in a Mirror
This represents a season of facing yourself. If your expression is calm, it is a sign that the condition of your heart is also coming into order.
A Clouded Mirror
This represents a feeling that you cannot see yourself well. You may be lacking information or rest. As if wiping away the cloudiness, checking things one by one will help.
Yourself in the Mirror Smiling
This is a sign that self-acceptance is progressing. It is a season when you have become able to accept the good sides of yourself.
A Large Mirror
This represents a desire to look over the whole picture widely. Rather than a part, it may be a season to review your whole figure — the balance of your life as a whole.
Looking into a Mirror with Someone
This represents a relationship in which you reflect each other's feelings. There are likely to be events through which you come to know yourself through the other person.
Your State of Mind When You Have This Dream
This is a dream you are likely to have in a season when your grooming and impression are on your mind, or when you want to review your own way of being. It also represents a state of wavering between a feeling of caring about evaluations and a desire to be your true self.
How It Differs from Similar Dreams
Whereas a hair dream represents "the state of your impression and energy," a mirror dream represents the very awareness of "how you see yourself, and how you are seen."
The Flow of Your Luck, and Some Advice
Your luck is in a season when it comes into order from reflection. A small habit, such as straightening your posture in front of a mirror in the morning, will change the direction of your day. It is best to use it not as a mirror for comparing yourself with others, but as a mirror for comparing yourself with who you were yesterday.
