Dream of Looking Older in the Mirror - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene reflecting on the sense that time is passing quickly or the pressure you feel about your age.
When you look in the mirror, your face has more wrinkles and your hair looks grayer than it does in real life. You touch your face or stare at the mirror in shock.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams showing a changed face have sometimes been interpreted as scenes reflecting a turning point in life or a change in one’s state of mind. Rather than necessarily meaning something bad, they may be seen as dreams that make you aware of the time you have lived through. (In folk dream interpretations, changes in the face and appearance have been treated as signs to examine changes in one’s current energy or circumstances.)
Through the mind: Something may have happened recently that made you conscious of age and timing, such as your peers getting married, changing jobs, or dealing with housing. Rather than your actual appearance, the question “Am I on the right track?” may have appeared as a change in your face.
