Seeing yourself in the mirror implies that you are in need of a bit of self-reflection. Perhaps there is something happening to you, or something going on that you don't quite understand. This meaning changes if you like your reflection in your dream.
With the need to reflect on yourself is generally related to a need to know more of who you are, and/or what you're doing in life. A reflection dream is fairly common.
Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams, we see real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.
In normal observers, gazing at one's own face in the mirror for a few minutes, at a low illumination level, produces the apparition of strange faces. Observers see distortions of their own faces, but they often see hallucinations like monsters, archetypical faces, faces of relatives and deceased, and animals.
First of all, we must understand that physically, mirrors reflect light and thus reflect the world around us. Spiritually, light has symbolic attachment to illumination, awareness and wisdom etc. Therefore, in terms of spiritual symbolism, mirrors reflect truth.
James 1:23-27 New King James Version (NKJV)
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
Mirrors are helpful because they reflect energy in the form of light. Mirrors also reflect the positive energy of beautiful objects. Depending on how you use them, mirrors can activate and deflect different energies and let you multiply different elements around your house.
It Can Disturb Sleep
Even if the room is dark, any light reflected off the mirror can cause discomfort and prevent you from falling asleep or staying asleep. It could also give you the impression that you are being watched.
The first thing I notice in this question is the fact that you notice you can't see yourself in the mirror, this means you are lucid. It's a message to yourself you are lucid.
He adds that feng shui experts believe the mirror doubles and bounces the energy in a room – and will consequently disrupt your inner tranquillity (needed for a good sleep).
But have you ever had a dream with a person in it whom you have never seen before in your life? It may seem that way, but it is impossible. It is believed that the human brain is incapable of “creating” a new face.
While recalling a dream suggests that you've reached a REM sleep cycle at some point during the night, it doesn't necessarily mean that you've had more or less of that important stage of sleep than if you don't remember dreaming.
Some blind people see full visual scenes while they dream, like sighted people do. Others see some visual images but not robust scenes. Others yet do not have a visual component to their dreams at all, although some researchers debate the degree to which this is true.
All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roarOf a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my handGrains of the golden sand —How few! yet how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep,While I weep — while I weep!O God!
Non-rem dreams generally involve more mental thought than visual images so if we dream of a person we don't tend to see their faces clearly. Some REM dreams, which are usually longer and more bizarre, with visual images and sometimes complete narratives usually contain clearer images including the faces of persons.
Images and mirrors
When you look at yourself in a mirror what you see is an image of yourself. The light appears to come from the image. The light, however, travels from you to the mirror and is then reflected back towards you from the surface of the mirror. There is nothing behind the mirror.
Dream About Falling in Love With a Stranger
If you have this dream and you're not in a relationship in real life, it's a good sign. The dream means that you're about to have a great experience with someone or that you're going to meet a person you'll fall in love with.
The Irish wake is a well-known funeral tradition where the family of the deceased covers all mirrors in the home. To hide the physical body from the soul, the family turns mirrors to face the wall. Some Irish superstitions say that if you look in a mirror long enough, you'll see a devil looking over your shoulder.
Effect Of Negative Energy
According to Vastu science, when you wake up in the morning then your body comes under the influence of negative energy. If you look at the mirror in the morning, then you may be affected by negative energy throughout the day.
Most mirrors are technically white with a slight green tinge, according to BBC Science Focus Magazine. Color is a result of reflected light, Live Science explains.
Mirrors are said to have the potential to alter the energy flow within a space and hence the well-being of its occupants. When placing Feng Shui mirrors in the living room there are a number of things you need to keep in mind. For example mirrors should not be placed facing the entrance door or near staircases.
Mirrors physically reflect light and our surroundings. Light indicates illumination, consciousness, knowledge, and other spiritual concepts. Mirrors thus reflect truth in terms of spiritual symbolism. They represent reality.
