I was in my parents' house it was late and I went to bed. I woke in the middle of the night to find me, my blanket, and my pillow had been transported to the floor on the landing of the house. I sit up confused and decide to head to the bathroom directly in front of me. For some reason I grab the small vanity mirror there and look into it with my blanket and pillow behind me. I see myself, perfectly fine, all is good, but when I angled it downwards a little I saw me, sitting up with the blanket over me like I was moments ago. Except she was staring directly at me through the mirror. I say "oh my God" and she made a weird shocked face, almost like an avatar in a game would. I then thought maybe talking would change her expression, so I did, and she smiled at me. It was creepy cause her eyes were wide and expressionless, still staring, only her mouth curled up. .... "Moooooooooom" I panicked and called for my mother, she comes from her room and ask what the hell is going on. I explain. She shrugs it off and I say no look! I draw the mirror back up, mirror me is gone. My friend Kat comes out from nowhere to join in with the fun. I turn to face them both, explain to Kat who believes me more and go to put the mirror to my face again while my back is to the bathroom. Kat says "wtf no" and drags my arm down. She says that anything could be in that reflection, and nothing good comes from mirror reflections in bathrooms. She has a point but I need to prove I'm not crazy. I turn into where my bedroom is and put the mirror up to show the banister of the stairs. It showed my real face, Kat up against the banister, and there I was again, sitting cross legged right next to her. I never did that. This isn't a timeloop, she must be free to move as she wishes. I shout whisper to Kat telling her where she is. Kat reaches her arm out aimlessly and soon pats the head of mirror me. Kat goes pale. So... it's not just a reflection? I mimic her fright staring under Kat's hand at the sickly smile that stared back. We stayed silent for a moment, unable to even breathe. My mother was still there and piped up telling us we were just scared over nothing and took the mirror off me telling us to go back to bed. I sat on my bed unable to sleep. In deep thought and fear I mumbled "impossible" And when anything out of the blue happens I do one thing: I reached my hand out.... Or lack of one. My hand was gone. WHAT. I put it down and checked again. Now I had fingers... They looked normal. No way this isn't a dream. I checked very closely and noticed slight differences. "Oh thank God" I said becoming lucid, and everything went black.
AI generated interpretation In your dream, the theme of lucidity and self-awareness is prominent, particularly through the use of mirrors as a symbol of self-reflection and introspection. Mirrors often represent our subconscious mind, hidden aspects of ourselves, and the ability to see beyond the surface level of our thoughts and emotions. The setting of the dream in your parents' house and the late-night hour suggest a return to the past or a sense of comfort and familiarity. However, the sudden displacement of your bedding to the landing and the appearance of the mirror on the bathroom vanity indicate a disruption and the need for self-examination. The initial encounter with the mirror doppelganger could symbolize a confrontation with your inner self or a repressed aspect of your personality. The facial expressions and interactions with the mirror images suggest a struggle with identity or self-acceptance, as well as a fear of the unknown or the subconscious mind. The presence of your mother and friend Kat in the dream can represent external influences or support systems in your life. Your mother's dismissive attitude towards the mirror phenomenon could symbolize a desire to avoid facing uncomfortable truths or feelings. On the other hand, Kat's skepticism and warning about the dangers of mirror reflections suggest a protective instinct and a recognition of potential psychological risks. The realization of your hand disappearing and reappearing, followed by the moment of lucidity and the dream ending abruptly, may reflect a sense of control or awareness over your thoughts and emotions. The blackness that envelops everything at the end of the dream could signify a blank slate or new beginning, as well as a transition from unconscious to conscious awareness. Overall, your dream seems to convey themes of self-discovery, introspection, and the struggle to reconcile different aspects of your personality or psyche. It may suggest a need to explore deeper emotions or hidden truths within yourself, as well as a journey towards self-acceptance and understanding.
