Dreaming of seeing a friend in the mirror - dream meaning with inherited lore
A friend appearing in the mirror may be a way of looking at your relationship with them, or at yourself through them.
Your friend appears in the mirror in place of your reflection. They may stand beside you or appear only in the mirror, and the scene may show you looking at each other’s faces.
Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing someone you know reflected in a mirror has sometimes been interpreted as a sign that your thoughts are with your relationship with them or news about them. Being there with a friend may also be seen as a chance to reflect on your friendship or other relationships around you. (This interpretation draws on folk dream readings that see a mirror as a symbol reflecting relationships and consider the person in it as part of the interpretation.)
Through the mind: You may be comparing yourself with a friend, or have something you’d like to say to them these days. Think back to your friend’s expression in the dream and how you felt looking in the mirror.
