Broken Mirror
Identity crisis and the need for a change in self-perception.
Dream interpretation
Despite the folk belief regarding bad luck, in psychoanalysis, a broken mirror symbolizes the end of an old illusion about oneself. You are shattering the false image you built for the world to see the truth. You may feel fragmented or confused, but this is a stage toward re-assembling a healthier personality. If you cut yourself on the glass, the change is painful but necessary. The broken mirror calls you to stop looking at the past and start building a new path forward.
