Haunted Mirror

I'm working in a customer's house, about to start the job, inspecting what there is to be done. The woman who owns the house is showing me around. After I've seen everything, I'm ready to bring the equipment in, but the woman warns me we might not be able to work because the place is haunted.

Her two kids, a boy and a girl of about 5 and 6, begin to tell me stories about a haunted mirror that appears in their house. They seem terrified, and the woman seems quite sure it will interfere with our work. I calmly reassure them that everything will be fine, I just know it. I speak with a calm confidence, and manage to calm and reassure the kids, but the woman still isn't convinced, but she'll let us try to work.

I say to the guy working with me that we will probably be doing a lot of this in the future. I'm referring to calming people down by manipulating their attention with my dream control techniques.

The front door is wide open so we can bring in our equipment, and as I walk towards it, a frame winks into existence on the wall. I look at it and it winks back out of existence, only to reappear again, this time framing a silver mirror.

The moment the mirror appears, I'm pulled to the ground by what feels like intense gravity, immobilizing me. I begin to hyperventilate uncontrollably for no apparent reason. The kids panic and scream to their mother that it's back.

I'm still pinned to the ground, terrified. I look at the mirror and see that it doesn't reflect anything. It's surface is an immaculate silver with no reflections whatsoever. Even though I can't move, I desperately want to get out of there. I think if I can manage to make it across the threshold of the front door, I'll be safe.

When I look to where the open door was, I'm horrified to see it's gone. In it's place is a window. I follow the length of the wall with my eyes past another window, and finally see the door. One of the kids is trying to open it, but it won't budge. It won't even vibrate! Outside the door looking through the glass are two more kids who have horrified looks on their faces.

I'm totally panicking, sucking in huge breaths of air, yet I can barely breath. I either wake up or wake myself up.

I woke up still gasping for breath, hyperventilating. I was so drenched with sweat, I thought I might have peed the bed. And I was still scared. Almost didn't get out of bed to take notes on that dream I was so scared. And when I went back to bed, I kept glancing at the empty wall at the foot of my bed to make sure there was no mirror there.

Last night I encountered a small mirror while lucid. I looked in it, and like the time before, it looked foggy and my face was distorted. It ended up making the dream unstable and I woke up.

Today I encountered the mirror closet in my brothers room.


I looked exactly how I went to bed.

I usually have longer hair when I look into mirrors in my dreams.

Mirrors have always represented a threat to me in dreams.. my earliest memory of this would have been when i was around 5 years old. We had a large dressing table at the other end of the room and attatched to this was a fairly big mirror (atleast a meter squared.) i had several really frightening non lucid dreams in which i was being sucked or pulled into the mirror.. the only thing i could do to stop it was to hold tightly onto the edge of the bed. I would often wake with my toes and fists clenched.. eventuall my father removed the mirror and it all stopped... mirrors are always evil dangerous things in my dreams though... strange
