Going through mirrors

Lucid Adventures
41

I’ve never been frightened by a mirror reflection in a lucid dream. I only remember looking in one once and i had a massive beard. I’ve always wanted to walk through a mirror in a lucid dream.

42

Mirrors can be really fun! Try out different styles by looking and looking away repeatedly and expect a new look every time! Experiment! See if you can make specific changes! Try to see the change happening! I was once startled by my image in the mirror, but I ended up laughing until I woke up. It was well worth it.
You know what, next time I’m lucid I’m going to look for a mirror.

I doubt you’ll wake up because of your reflection. The reason that your hair was shorter was because it usually takes a while for your dream body to catch up with your real one.

The best way to remember more dreams is to keep a dream journal. You remember dreams better when you wake up in the middle of the night because dreams are easier to recall if you wake up during REM.

44

I haven’t done much mirror stuff for awhile… but here are some things i have found:

  1. A very angry lawyer woman
  2. I think once I found a Simpsons character…

Unfortunately most of the time I go through the miror I get nothing but blackness… how sad. :cry:
How can I resolve that?

And what have you found?

well for me, mirrors are pathways to other places, dimensions etc… I never really pay much attention to my reflection… but everytime I see a mirror that first thing I try to do is to walk through it. You will appear in places you would never expect, its really fun!

46

The only time I can recall trying to look in a mirror in an LD, I couldn’t see much of anything because it looked like it was foggy… I could only see part of my body if I was really close to it. In my NDs, mirrors usually show some variation of my reflection… sometimes they show a normal reflection, while other times, it’s distorted. I’ve never seen anything particularly frightening in a mirror, at any rate.

47

I rarely pass mirrors in dreams, but I remember a dream where I was in front of the mirror and the reflection of me showed someone else. I did an RC then examined myself, its fun to look on yourself on a mirror :tongue:

:hmmm: that depends how strong your psychic mind is. And I also think that some are frightened, others not :cool:

48

It has never worked for me because my brain cannot process the fact the mirror isn’t solid anymore. When I teleport though I get blackness too…

49

I’ve tried going through mirrors in about 3 of my LDs, every time I just bump into it… :neutral:

50

I encountered this problem the first time I tried this, so I closed my eyes and tried to feel my fingers move through the glass like it were liquid. Eventually it worked and I was able to absorb my full body into the mirror. Though it is a bit cold, and I wouldn’t recommend it for the claustrophobic/hydrophobic, it was a fairly interesting experience. :grin:

If anyone was curious, I have tried this several times since my first attempt, with much better results than the first time. No more LD attempts while thinking of silent hill for me. :bored:

51

The one-time I went through a mirror in a LD I performed a back-flip to jump in it and ended up in darkness, and then a picture began to form, of a lady with purple hair and melancholic face standing in a woods. (tried finding a purple smiley to go with this and found this–> :cookiemon: and this :crying: The last one is better)

52

I’ve gone through a mirror twice. The first time, I went straight through it as if it were a painting in Super Mario 64, but I just ended up back in my bathroom. I tried it again the next time I got a lucid dream and this time the mirror shattered and I still ended up right back in my bathroom. Can somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong?

53

I have one recorded dream of where I went through a mirror, around 1999, and it was just this great void. Pure nothingness.

54

Mirrors are very liquidy in my dreams. The one I went all the way through I ended up in some little shop.

55

This is one of the things I haven’t done yet and wanting to, go through a mirror. In my next LD I will. Hopefully this will be before the next LC quest!

56

Only time i’ve ever experienced a mirror in my dreams, it got me lucid!

i saw myself and stuck my finger through my cheek (weird RC huh)

57

i would think that it would be a good way of practicing transforming

58

When the subject of going through mirrors comes up, it reminds me of how I felt when I first heard about Lucid Dreaming. :content:

59

I’ve used mirrors when lucid with the intent to share a dream. Id think of who I want to connect with, then leap forward into the reflective abyss. It was interesting… If anyone has the experience of sharing a dream it be awesome to hear it. Ive tried a bunch of times with limited success.

I remember always wanting to go through the mirror in my dreams. This one time I had the chance too. First I put my hand through it, it felt really nice the liquidy metallic swished around, I pulled something back from the other side…it was some old vase then I decided to go in with my full body…all I remember was darkness and then I lose my lucidity. Wasn’t really happy with the result. :neutral:

I always thought about trying again, but then I get an unpleasant feeling that something scary would happen like Strickens silent hill nightmare :bored: .
