Thread: Mirrors in Lucid Dreams (and bad experiences with them)

It's interesting to read some of these, I thought I was the only one. I've suffered from sleep paralysis all my life, now that I'm older I can make myself aware or wake up but I chose to stay asleep and enjoy lucid dreaming. I can turn my nightmares into awesome lucid dreams but it doesn't always work.
Yesterday I had a dream I was in a post apocalyptic type world and I was waiting for someone to come get me. I was waiting in a house, while they went out for supplies. I remember having deja vu when I saw a particular room. I noticed a mirror and felt scared of it "but I didn't know why". I then noticed more mirrors all around the room. I couldn't see any reflection in the biggest mirror, it was like a gray blurry cloud, but I wasn't looking directly at it. I was trying to see it through my peripheral vision as I headed to the door.
I felt like if I looked at it something bad would happen.
I told himself, as I walked to the door, "don't look at it, don't let it get you, you know you're dreaming, just get outside". I didn't have to turn the knob, the door just blew open. It was daylight out and it was almost blinding because the room was so dark. I knew I was dreaming but didn't want to continue, even though I was now safe, so I woke up.
I don't know what would have happened if I had looked into the mirror.
