Dreaming of looking in a mirror in hell - dream meaning with inherited lore
A mirror may represent being overly hard on yourself or worrying about how others judge you.
You find a mirror on a wall or in a room in hell and look at yourself in it. Your face may look unfamiliar, or your expression may appear stiff.
Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing yourself in hell has sometimes been interpreted as a dream of looking back on what you have been through. Rather than focusing on an ominous face, some see the act of facing a mirror itself as part of putting your feelings in order. (In folk dream interpretations, a mirror is read as something that reflects your appearance and hidden feelings, so in a scene set in hell it may also carry meanings of self-blame and reflection.)
Through the mind: You may be repeatedly looking back over a mistake or choice and judging yourself. It could be a chance to consider whether your own standards have become too strict, more than other people's opinions have.
