Symbols / A mirror
A reading for meaning, not prophecy
A mirror is read as self-examination and truth — in the East one's true state revealed (镜), in the West the confrontation with the Self and persona, in Ibn Sirin's tradition one's condition and reputation.
Three readings
周公解梦 reads the mirror as a revealing of one's true state — a clear reflection marks self-knowledge and fortune seen plainly, a cracked or clouded mirror a distortion or a turn to mend. It shows you as you are, not as you wish.
Jung would read the mirror as the encounter with the Self — and with the persona you present. A reflection that differs from you marks a gap between your mask and your truth; to look unflinchingly is the beginning of integration.
Ibn Sirin read the mirror as one's condition and reputation — a clear reflection good standing and self-knowledge, a flawed one a matter of how you are seen to address. Framed as meaning: what is the mirror showing you that you have avoided?
This is the general reading. Your dream is specific.
