Dream symbol · M

Mirror Without a Face

Symbolizes cognitive dissonance or loss of identity in a transition period.

Dream interpretation

Looking into a mirror and not seeing your reflection is a powerful archetypal symbol of inner emptiness or the denial of certain personality aspects. You may feel invisible to those around you or find yourself in a situation where your old qualities no longer apply. Psychologically, this requires self-discovery—you must find who you are outside of societal expectations. Do not be frightened; this is a sign of an upcoming 'rebirth' of the ego, where a new, more authentic version of you is waiting to be born.
