Dream of a Ghost in the Mirror - dream meaning with inherited lore
A ghost in the mirror may connect with how you feel during a time when your own appearance or emotions seem unfamiliar.
You look in the mirror, but a ghost appears instead of your reflection, or one appears inside the mirror when no one is behind you. Even after looking again to make sure, you may be unable to look away.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a ghost in a mirror has sometimes been interpreted as hidden worries or feelings you have turned away from within yourself coming to light. It may also suggest looking again at your own state. (In folk dream interpretation, a mirror symbolizes your appearance and inner self. When it appears with a ghost, it is sometimes read as being connected to hidden anxiety.)
Through the mind: This may arise when you feel unfamiliar to yourself because you have changed, or when there is a gap between how you appear to others and how you truly feel. It may also reflect a period of harsh self-criticism.
