I was curious about mirriors in lucid dreams. I read on one sight that it can be a good reality check in a dream, but i read on another sight you should avoid them as what you see in the reflection could be frightning and wake you up. I had a normal dream last night where i looked in the mirror, but i looked normal except my hair was slightly shorter.
And on a side note, the more dreams that i remember the better i’ll get at recalling my dreams, right? I seem to only remember them if i wake up in the night.
I’ve never been frightened by a mirror reflection in a lucid dream. I only remember looking in one once and i had a massive beard. I’ve always wanted to walk through a mirror in a lucid dream.
Mirrors can be really fun! Try out different styles by looking and looking away repeatedly and expect a new look every time! Experiment! See if you can make specific changes! Try to see the change happening! I was once startled by my image in the mirror, but I ended up laughing until I woke up. It was well worth it.
You know what, next time I’m lucid I’m going to look for a mirror.
I doubt you’ll wake up because of your reflection. The reason that your hair was shorter was because it usually takes a while for your dream body to catch up with your real one.
The best way to remember more dreams is to keep a dream journal. You remember dreams better when you wake up in the middle of the night because dreams are easier to recall if you wake up during REM.
well for me, mirrors are pathways to other places, dimensions etc… I never really pay much attention to my reflection… but everytime I see a mirror that first thing I try to do is to walk through it. You will appear in places you would never expect, its really fun!
The only time I can recall trying to look in a mirror in an LD, I couldn’t see much of anything because it looked like it was foggy… I could only see part of my body if I was really close to it. In my NDs, mirrors usually show some variation of my reflection… sometimes they show a normal reflection, while other times, it’s distorted. I’ve never seen anything particularly frightening in a mirror, at any rate.
I rarely pass mirrors in dreams, but I remember a dream where I was in front of the mirror and the reflection of me showed someone else. I did an RC then examined myself, its fun to look on yourself on a mirror
that depends how strong your psychic mind is. And I also think that some are frightened, others not
I encountered this problem the first time I tried this, so I closed my eyes and tried to feel my fingers move through the glass like it were liquid. Eventually it worked and I was able to absorb my full body into the mirror. Though it is a bit cold, and I wouldn’t recommend it for the claustrophobic/hydrophobic, it was a fairly interesting experience.
If anyone was curious, I have tried this several times since my first attempt, with much better results than the first time. No more LD attempts while thinking of silent hill for me.
The one-time I went through a mirror in a LD I performed a back-flip to jump in it and ended up in darkness, and then a picture began to form, of a lady with purple hair and melancholic face standing in a woods. (tried finding a purple smiley to go with this and found this–> and this The last one is better)
I’ve gone through a mirror twice. The first time, I went straight through it as if it were a painting in Super Mario 64, but I just ended up back in my bathroom. I tried it again the next time I got a lucid dream and this time the mirror shattered and I still ended up right back in my bathroom. Can somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong?
This is one of the things I haven’t done yet and wanting to, go through a mirror. In my next LD I will. Hopefully this will be before the next LC quest!
I’ve used mirrors when lucid with the intent to share a dream. Id think of who I want to connect with, then leap forward into the reflective abyss. It was interesting… If anyone has the experience of sharing a dream it be awesome to hear it. Ive tried a bunch of times with limited success.
