Dreaming of the Grim Reaper in a Mirror - dream meaning with inherited lore

The Grim Reaper in the mirror may be a scene where you realize that anxiety that seemed to belong to someone else is actually connected to your own changes and feelings.

You stand before a mirror, but the Grim Reaper appears instead of your reflection, or it shows up only behind you. Even wiping the mirror may not clear the image, or it may suddenly disappear.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a stranger appearing in a mirror has sometimes been interpreted as looking back at your own state or facing hidden feelings. The grim reaper’s appearance can also be seen as the process of recognizing the end of a period as something personal. (Folk dream interpretations have viewed the mirror as a symbol reflecting your appearance and inner self, and have explored the meaning of change when it appears with an unfamiliar person.)

Through the mind: You may feel that the person you were and the person you are now have changed, or sense a gap between what others expect of you and what you truly feel. If the scene in the mirror was especially frightening, the burden of accepting the change itself may feel greater than the change.
