The base reading of Mirror
A mirror in a dream is the dictionary's image for self-confrontation. Looking into the mirror and recognising yourself easily is the dream noting your self-image is roughly accurate. Looking into the mirror and seeing someone you do not recognise is the dream pointing out that a change has occurred in you that you have not yet integrated.
A cracked mirror is a self-image that has held the shape but is no longer reliable. Avoiding the mirror in the dream is the dictionary's clearest image of self-avoidance.
Where you often see it. A mirror showing something other than your face. A mirror with no reflection. A mirror in a room you do not enter. The dream uses the mirror for self-image — what you see when you look, and what you avoid looking at.
What it is not. A mirror is not always literal. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's inquiry into how they see themselves.
