Mirror

The mirror is one of the oldest inventions of our civilization, and in ancient times it was associated with the light of "mirror" disks of the sun and moon. It was believed that it protects against evil spirits and the forces of darkness. The magical properties of the mirror are reflected also in the folklore and numerous fairy tales, where it is shown as the gateway between the real world and another dimension, or a tool of divination. For centuries, the mirror has also been the symbol of truth and self-discovery, which is why the dreams associated with this object show the current mental state, your strengths and weaknesses, or indicate a need to reflect on your behavior and inner self.

What you see in the mirror in a dream can give you an overview of the next few days. It depends on whether you are cheerful or sad. A joyful face may herald luck or a nice event, and the tears and anger, on the contrary. You should pay attention to such elements as:

• Beautiful lush hair herald health and prosperity.
• Tousled hair means chaos in life, disordered thoughts, or despair.
• Dirty hair symbolize sadness.
• Loose hair symbolizes beauty, freedom, the depth of feelings.
• Spiky hair means fear.
• Colored hair represents hypocrisy.
• Pale skin means weakness or fear.
• Covered mouth symbolizes the inability to express your opinions.
• Eyes indicate perceptiveness, the need to settle with your deeds, and the confrontation with "your own self." Half-closed, distorted, or cross-eyed eyes indicate problems with proper assessment of reality. When in the mirror you see only one eye, it warns against bias and stubborn way of thinking.
• Eyebrows that are lush and strong herald joy and success. On the other hand rare and falling out eyebrows indicate loss and trouble. Frowning expresses some concern and dissatisfaction.
• Nose expresses curiosity, intuition, following a hunch, prying in someone else's business, or nosiness.
• The ear means the ability to listen or necessity of obedience.
• Beard is wisdom and strength. For women it promises male responsibilities.
• Falling out teeth indicate a loss or the death of a loved one. Healthy teeth symbolize success, the ability to cope with life, and vitality.
• Arms raised upward mean hope; arms down express doubt and sadness.
• Jewelry on the hands means wealth; handcuffs symbolize the problems with the law or the lack of freedom.
• An injured leg indicates some painful experience.
