Dream About Looking in Mirror
Detailed Interpretation
You look in the mirror—seeing yourself, face to face with your own reflection. Mirrors represent self-examination, the act of seeing yourself, confronting your own image.
What do you see? Normal reflection suggests straightforward self-view. Different face suggests unfamiliar self-aspects. Aged or changed suggests time's effects. The reflection reveals how you see yourself.
The mirror shows truth—it reflects what is, not what we wish. The dream might represent honest self-seeing, confronting actual rather than imagined self.
Consider your reaction to the reflection. Acceptance suggests comfortable self-image. Shock suggests unexpected self-revelation. Disgust suggests self-rejection. The reaction reveals relationship to self.
Mirrors have long been tools for introspection. The dream invitation is clear: look at yourself. What do you see?
