What research shows
Text and reflections are famously unstable in dreams — a common reality check used by lucid dreamers.

Dreaming about a mirror
Dreaming about a mirror is traditionally read as self-image and how accurate it is. No survey has measured how often this one occurs, so we give the reading without a frequency — only 13 of the dream themes here have a published figure at all.
The psychological reading
A distorted or unfamiliar reflection is read as a gap between how you see yourself and how you are.
What tradition claimed
Breaking a mirror in a dream carried the same seven-year warning as breaking one awake.

The version matters
Different ways this dream shows up
Most dream dictionaries give one meaning for the whole symbol. In practice the specific version carries most of the information — losing every tooth and losing one tooth are not the same dream.
How to record a dream, why the feeling matters more than the content, and when recurring nightmares are worth a doctor rather than a dictionary — set out once on the main page.
Before you look anything up
How the dream felt matters more than what was in it. The same image can arrive as comfort or as threat, and that difference tells you more than any entry in a dictionary — including this one.
