I had dementia

I was in this dark room, with a door to a brightly lit hallway that was leaking light slightly into the room. I remember feeling like I was waiting for something or someone. Then I remember kind of realizing that that was a memory and that I was actually old and that it was far into the future from that memory. I think I heard someone say “you have dementia” or I realized it myself. Then I looked to the left and there was a mirror trimmed with gold. I saw a reflection of a kinda rough looking very old woman with long grey hair. She looked foreign, but I realized it was me. Kinda haunting tbh LOL.
