Dream of seeing your childhood self in a mirror - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be a scene where you compare who you were with who you are now, or meet those old feelings again.
You look in the mirror, but instead of your current face, you see yourself as a child. You may look at that image fondly, while unfamiliarity and sadness rise together.
Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing your younger self in a mirror has sometimes been interpreted as looking back on the time you have lived through and your original feelings. It may also be seen as a dream that brings family or long-standing connections to mind. (This follows a folk interpretation that connects mirrors with the shape of one's life and reads childhood images as ties to the past.)
Through the mind: As your responsibilities have grown, you may be longing for the more at-ease version of yourself from before. Rather than meaning you need to return to the past, it may be a sign that you want to add a little of the comfort or joy you needed then to your life now.
