Mirror in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

The mirror is the symbol of self-image. Dream books read what you see in it — clear, strange or missing — as how you see yourself right now. A face that is older, younger or not your own points to a changing sense of identity, while no reflection at all is traditionally read as feeling unseen or unsure who you are. A broken mirror is read as a self-image that has been shaken, not as bad luck. Looking calmly into a clear mirror is taken as honesty and acceptance.
