Mirror
Psychological (Freud)
Depth psychology has the mirror confront the dreamer with their self-image and the tension between the ideal ego and the actual person. A distorted, clouded or unfamiliar reflection betrays narcissistic insecurity or a disowned part pressing to come into the light.
Oriental reading
In Oriental and Islamic interpretation the mirror often stands for the state of one's inner self, for reputation, and likewise for a spouse, a child or a turn in one's circumstances. A clear image heralds clarity and good name, while a broken mirror is read as separation, illness or a reversal of fortune.
Objects
Dream interpretation is for self-reflection and entertainment — it is not a medical or psychological diagnosis.
