Thread: What were your experiences with mirrors in dreams?

My first one was in a lucid dream were i wanted to crawl in it and see whats beyond, but the mirror was too small like 20cm² and the reflection was blurry and i coudnt even get my arm thru it.

My second one was kinda a vision of myself in the future, i hadnt had my hair cut for a few months and when i looked in the mirror (in the dream) i looked differently and it didnt made any sense at the time but 2 weeks later it did when i got my hair cut and i looked exacly the same as i did in my dream.

The 3rd i was lucid again and as i looked at myself in the mirror, my eyes had a dark aura flowing infront of them, it was realy cool.

The 4th i wasnt lucid and was washing my face and i began swinging my arms and my reflection just stood there looking at me with an angry killer face full of hate

Thats all i can remember

I've had many experiences with mirrors in dreams.

I remember one very clearly. I think it was a "task of the month" a while ago, maybe before I even joined, when I used to just lurk. But anyway, when I became lucid, I walked into my bathroom and looked in the mirror. The task was to pull yourself out of the mirror. Well, instead of pulling myself out, I pulled my 8yr old daughter out. It was very strange. She looked all deformed, and for a split second, I freaked out, then realized I could change her. So, I threw her back into the mirror. I was again looking at myself.

The most recent mirror dream I had wasn't lucid. I was looking into a large mirror, trying to fix my hair. My nose looked weird, and my eyes were larger than usual. I then noticed that behind me Orson Welles was filiming me. I turned around, but no one was there. I looked back into the mirror, and there he was again, moving closer towards me in a freakish kind of way. I got scared, closed my eyes, then woke up.

Gee, I could go on forever about mirror dreams I've had, but I won't.

I used a mirror once after I got a little bit lucid, to look at myself while trying to make my appearance just right. I got caught up in trying to mold my image and fell back out of control.

Many experiences with mirrors, all lead just to a perfect reflection of me in the mirror... kinda boring I know.
Silly dreams that make sense <.<
Oh also, when I'm in a mirror I like to practice morphing and body magick, so play with myself and see how I look like lol

I rarely encounter mirrors in my LDs. For a task of the month a while ago I pulled out my reflection and questioned it. I've never done much else with a mirror in LDs.

Yeah the task of the month and the reflection.
I've looked in the mirror and my teeth started falling out and decaying my gums started turning rotten etc.
I've looked in the mirror and saw myself as a sort of anime character with long blonde pointy locks pierced ears very muscular I looked like a badass.
I've looked in the mirror and seen nothing just empty space. I've looked in the mirror and seen a passage to another world.
I've looked in the mirror and seen other people another world it was like the mirror was a window.

I could really go on for quite some time. These are just a few things though.

The first time I looked in a mirror in a LD, I saw my refeection, but it looked like a Vincent Vangouh painting, almost cartoonish like in that movie "Waking Life". One of my eyes was beady, just a black circle. And the mirror kept waving like an ocean current. The second time I remember I looked in a mirror as a reality check, and my reflection seemed very dark. Basically, I looked like shit. Very malnourished, skin and bones, and I had very dark circles under my eyes. It looked like I had just risen from the dead. that's it for me.

I remember one of the first lucids I'd had, I'd read beforehand about an experiment with lucid dreamers to try and go through a mirror. So in my dream, I found my bathroom mirror, and pulled myself into it. Came out the otherside in a swimming pool, underwater, but breathing fine.

Another, more recent time, I looked into a mirror and had clowns make-up on. Giant red nose, white face paint, the lot. When I noticed this, my reflection's face turned to one of pure anger, which kinda freaked me out a bit. Then I just went about fulfilling my dream role as a clown doctor....

I've also had a few times of looking in mirrors and seeing my teeth all rotting and falling out and stuff, which is always quite a mind freak.

I've only encountered two mirrors so far in my lucid experiences. The first time i looked into it while having a conversation with my "DG" my reflection was standing with his hands in his pocket and a jacket on, he was wearing the hood over his head letting it fall down past his eyes, he kind of just stood there like a shady character would. The second time was when i had my first WILD. I couldn't move my mouth very well and was wondering what was wrong with it.. So i looked into the mirror and i had some kind of strange braces on that wouldn't let my mouth shut (when i woke i noticed that my mouth was open the whole time)

I think the most interesting experience i've had with a mirror was on mushrooms tho. I looked into the mirror to see myself standing wild eyed shirtless with tribal markings all over my face and body. :} i thought that was the coolest thing ever.

Last night when I WILDed I looked in a mirror which was my first time and saw the exact reflection, just like you talked about, "Waking Life". Then became more weird and I saw hundreds of reflections of mine, mirror in a mirror in a mirror...

I don't look like someone I know or at least not like the someone I believe to be.

I have never in my dream seen myself in a mirror, never

Maybe I should try in my next lucid dream ?

Good topic, I think. On at least two occasions I've looked into the mirror in dreams and have seen a middle-aged man with red hair and a red beard, not unlike Bob Ross. A couple of other times I've looked into mirrors and seen a distorted version of myself, which then induced lucidity. In one dream I remember my mother warning me not to look into the mirror in the bathroom because I "wouldn't be able to handle the effect."

I have walked through mirrors on several occasions. Each time, it seemed as though I was caught in some sort of an energy flow, as though I was flying but on some powerful wind.

Going beyond a mirror I did in one of my rare lucent experiences


Behind it there was another room with almost no gravity, enjoyed
that a lot..

Sometimes I'll remember that my hair was a little bit redder, or my eyes were a different colour, or that I was wearing something that I don't own anymore. But while I've heard that mirror images can be blurry, distorted, or frightening, generally for me they aren't very different from reality. I just see myself and think, "Oh, I look normal, I must not be dreaming." I'm trying to get into the habit of really studying my reflection each time I see it. I've never considered going through a mirror or pulling my reflection out. I'll have to remember to try it sometime.

Only happened to me once but I was a werewolf kind of half transformed. That was the last time I looked into a mirror while dreaming.

In normal dreams and lucid dreams, my reflection in mirrors are usually a distorted version of myself, ranging from "almost normal" to very strange or creepy: older, long rubbery arms, more or less hair or losing it, or white mucus oozing from the eyes (fortunately, it's never frightening while I'm dreaming, I see those things in a detached and objective way. It's only when I wake up that I say "yuck !")

Once, in a LD, I managed to go trough a mirror. I emerged in a completely black space, standing on a square of light (the mirror)... then I woke up.

a mirror was in my dream the other night because I walked into a bathroom and my hair was longer. that was it. In the dream i knew it was weird that my hair would grow six inches overnight and i didnt get lucid.

I've heard that many people dream of their teeth falling out, and I guess my dream was similar to that.

I woke up and sleepily walked over to the bathroom. I turned the light on and looked in the mirror. Opening my mouth, i could see that my teeth were discolored and rotting. This caused ALOT of shock to me, and forced me into a real awakening.

So...all in all, not pleasant.

Haunted Mirror
Clarity: 8/10
Importance: 6/10
Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Right Side (Left Brain)

I'm working in a customer's house, about to start the job, inspecting what there is to be done. The woman who owns the house is showing me around. After I've seen everything, I'm ready to bring the equipment in, but the woman warns me we might not be able to work because the place is haunted.

Her two kids, a boy and a girl of about 5 and 6, begin to tell me stories about a haunted mirror that appears in their house. They seem terrified, and the woman seems quite sure it will interfere with our work. I calmly reassure them that everything will be fine, I just know it. I speak with a calm confidence, and manage to calm and reassure the kids, but the woman still isn't convinced, but she'll let us try to work.

I say to the guy working with me that we will probably be doing a lot of this in the future. I'm referring to calming people down by manipulating their attention with my dream control techniques.

The front door is wide open so we can bring in our equipment, and as I walk towards it, a frame winks into existence on the wall. I look at it and it winks back out of existence, only to reappear again, this time framing a silver mirror.

The moment the mirror appears, I'm pulled to the ground by what feels like intense gravity, immobilizing me. I begin to hyperventilate uncontrollably for no apparent reason. The kids panic and scream to their mother that it's back.

I'm still pinned to the ground, terrified. I look at the mirror and see that it doesn't reflect anything. It's surface is an immaculate silver with no reflections whatsoever. Even though I can't move, I desperately want to get out of there. I think if I can manage to make it across the threshold of the front door, I'll be safe.

When I look to where the open door was, I'm horrified to see it's gone. In it's place is a window. I follow the length of the wall with my eyes past another window, and finally see the door. One of the kids is trying to open it, but it won't budge. It won't even vibrate! Outside the door looking through the glass are two more kids who have horrified looks on their faces.

I'm totally panicking, sucking in huge breaths of air, yet I can barely breath. I either wake up or wake myself up.

I woke up still gasping for breath, hyperventilating. I was so drenched with sweat, I thought I might have peed the bed. And I was still scared. Almost didn't get out of bed to take notes on that dream I was so scared. And when I went back to bed, I kept glancing at the empty wall at the foot of my bed to make sure there was no mirror there.

Last night I encountered a small mirror while lucid. I looked in it, and like the time before, it looked foggy and my face was distorted. It ended up making the dream unstable and I woke up.

Today I encountered the mirror closet in my brothers room.


I looked exactly how I went to bed.

I usually have longer hair when I look into mirrors in my dreams.

I wanted to cross through a mirror once, it was a waterlike enviroment which was pushing me out as water pushes you up. It was imposible to see more than blurry shapes. Finally I was pushed out and I went on with other stuff.
