Mirror dream meaning
Seeing yourself in a mirror points to discouragement, distress from sickness, and financial loss. A broken mirror points to a related person's sudden or violent death; other reflected images carry separate meanings, with a happy lover's image suggesting only brief estrangement.

Personal symbolism
A mirror turns attention toward what is reflected and how it appears. Notice whether you saw yourself, another person, an animal, or a lover, and whether the mirror was intact or broken. Each image carries a different concern in the dream: self-reflection, unfair treatment, disappointment, or changes in a relationship. The look and mood of the reflection may matter as much as the mirror itself.
Questions to reflect on
- Whose reflection did you see, and what was its expression?
- Was the mirror whole or broken, and what feeling stayed with you?
