Every time I look into one, I don't see anything. What does this mean?
[editline]21st April 2012[/editline]
Not like I don't see my reflection, but I just don't see any deformities or anything.
The last big nightmare I had was me being chased in a haunted mansion by scary "Cry-Of-Fear" looking killers (back in 2008, before Cry of Fear), and I ended up slaughtering the killers by taking one of their chainsaws and just going ape on everyone by swinging viciously.

It's just a placebo,
Because you say that people expect something bad to happen when they look at a mirror.
Solution?
Stop talking about how bad mirrors are.
I recall a strange and unsettling dream in the timeless space between Thursday night and Friday morning. The sequence that stuck out most for me was a part where my machine contracted some kinda virus in the dream, the relevance of which becomes apparent shortly (anxieties concerning my machine's welfare are a strong concern for me).
When I woke up on Friday morning, my PC kept on blue-screening before it could reach the desktop, and thus I can't do computery things at my main home. Dad's been trying to fix it, so hopefully the situation'll be resolved soon. After spending some time on the back-room machine at his place (where I am now), I returned home for dinner, and my machine was in safe mode going through a defrag, which Dad did when he came over after I went to college that morning. Being that my motherboard is in dire need of replacement or fixing, the defrag was going damn slow, and I wouldn't be able to sleep in the same room as my machine since it'd be noisy.
Thus I slept on the sofa in the living room, which was likely the cause of another dream I had last night, one that involved my shoes disappearing from my feet, and a train station similar to the one at Ewell East where my college is. I suspect the shoes disappearing part may have involved my feet somehow becoming exposed during the night; the sofa wasn't THAT big and my feet might've been poking out at some ungodly hour. After the stage with the station and the shoes, I was walking into some sort of city that reminds me of somewhere like Munich or Barcelona, with the first part of the city sequence involving a series of market stalls that had nobody at them, with one of the stalls having watermelons being stored.
That's all I can remember for now; hopefully tomorrow may bring another dream of dubious significance.
I have this recurring dream. I dream it about once per month and it's one of the few dreams I still remember the next day, or even weeks after.
It starts out with me and some people on a ship out in sea looking at some bay in an island of some sorts. The people are different most of the time, mostly friends or celebrities. The bay is housing this industrial kind of area.
While looking out at the bay I know I must infiltrate it with the other people on the boat. We don our diving equipment and set out for the bay.
When we're there there about a hundred things that happen, way too much to write down. But if anyone is interested I might type it out some time later.
Do tell, might be intriguing.

I can quite vouch for this. Looking in a mirror, before even being told to not to, it looked like half of my skull was smashed in, bulging my eyes out. It's not quite just a placebo, but there's truth in it.
Okay that was nice. Just had a nightmare about my brother getting possessed by some sort of eldritch abomination and telepathically destroying my mind with some kind of screeching.

Maybe my Doctor-Who-inspired "try and make friends with the monster" thing isn't always the best idea.

Actually I think it was Zinayzen who said that before he heard of all of the mirror stuff, the same thing happened to him. I don't know if it is just a placebo, though all the times that I look in a mirror in a dream I don't recall anything really odd happening.
im pretty sure this thread has the most misuses of the word placebo of any thread on facepunch

Yeah, What I mean is. If you are expecting something bad is going to happen, Chances are (More so in LD's) that it will.
I had a dream a couple mornings ago where I became more lucid than I could ever imagine. I was so lucid I knew what time it was outside of my dream and knew I had to wake up because I went to sleep after my alarm went off. A person in my dream took the form of my subconscious though and I talked to him. He gave me some reassuring words about the choices I've made in my life but when I asked him a very specific personal question he gave me an answer I did not want to hear and I can't stop thinking about what he said. What he said to me really struck a nerve but at the same time it was like he was trying to help me. I really wish I had more control over my dreams so I could do it again...
I once as an kid (4-6 years old) had this weird dream where everything was... Well, 2.5d.
I remember there was a huge cave which me and my sister were going through, we smashed through hundreds of skeletons and such creatures together, now this is where it gets weird... I killed my own father in that dream, even that my sister said "No, don't do it!" and such...
Now, this is the most weird part, my father who was shot dead recently... Well, I wasn't able to cry at it... It was like I already once griefed over his death and there was no point doing it again, It just felt like I killed him tho'..
It's weird how big of an influence dreams can actually have in your life.
Reflections in mirrors can sometimes mean nothing, and sometimes be reflections of your self-image, based on what I've heard and experienced. Still, though, like everything, it varies person to person.
In other news, I have the worst dream control in the world. I was trying to make a single wall disappear from a room so I could walk out onto the street and fly, but instead the whole room except that one wall disappeared. Then I jumped in hopes of flying and awkwardly fell to the ground.
In my dreams i am mostly alone. And there is always clouds in the sky and everything looks grayish.
I have been having these dreams for years now and lately i have been thinking a lot about them. What's with the dead dreams? There isn't anyone ever out there. Just grey sky some fog and empty world.
Maybe i am slowly loosing my mind. :pwn:
This week i had a dream where i was with a girl... well i tagged along her. I didn't know what to do in the dream i didn't even know how to feel.
After that dream i felt... empty.
I had a dream I was adobted by some tony stark-ish guy whose house was a weird mix of the dream version of my grandparent's house, and a huge glass tower with different layers and weird mechanical elevators. There was 2 A-10 warthogs and 2 transport helicopters parked on top. There was also a huuuuge goard room with a giant glass projector screen that curved and covered three walls. Overall, pretty vivid.
had some sleep paralysis. fucking hate sleep paralysis
I wouldn't mind some badass sleep stuff right about now. Been feelin kinda down past few days.
My subconscious can weave some crazy deep stories, or maybe it's because of dream logic. But I'll be told or in a crazy adventure, wake up and be all how the fuck did my brain make that
i wish you could make time go faster i dream, like inception dream within a dream.
Had a wierd dream where I was back in high school. Except the teacher was nice to me, and for some reason I had like 15 pills to take daily to treat some kind of disorder. Also, I got lost on the way to several of my classes, skipped out on physics, and hung out in the bathroom. What a boring dream.
I had the shittiest lucid dream ever.
I was in my house playing games on my pc, then I was going downstairs to get a drink. I walked past a mirror and saw that my proportions were all fucked up. After doing a reality check with a watch, I realized I was dreaming. It was awesome, I decided to punch a wall to test it out. I did, I hurt my hand, and then the wall punched me back. Waking me up.
:L

Imagined it just like in some old cartoon, a part of the wall turns into a fist and punches a person. Classic.
I'll try to WILD tonight, though I don't know what I could think about. Any recommendations?
So for once I was actually afraid in a dream last night. It seemed like a combination of Nightmare House 2 and Amnesia without the monsters and only the creepy girl. That part of the dream ended in me in front of my computer monitor after being done with the "game". Still no successful WILD though, but my recall decided to get back on track so I can't complain.
Brains are weird.
I had a dream where I ran down into the band room of my school to discover a hot chick tied to a support pillar. Then Adolf Hitler stepped out from behind the pillar and we went to do battle...
Then I woke up. What a shame. Could have been awesome.
Had a dream about fucking a cooked chicken ._.
That aside, I had some other dreams that were pretty good. One was about me and my entire family getting murdered on the 28th this month, and I was stuck in a time loop trying to save us all. Ended up travelling to China and doing some shit with a PS3 controller and somehow managing to survive the 28th.
I've tried the methods to improve my dream recall, but I just don't remember any of them. Now that I think of it this has been the case for years. Very rarely I remember a dream, but only if it's really really sad or something.
Do more people have this?
I think my dreams are predicting the future, there have been various times where I have had dreams and the events that play out in them happen in real life, most of them are minor things but sometimes really specific and unusual things that I dream about to actually happen a few days/weeks later.

That's the sensation of [I]Déjà vu[/I].
I had a dream where two cats attacked me.
I stepped on one of their heads and cracked it multiple times, but the cat just cried more so that just made me work harder to kill it while it's friend watched...
WHY BRAIN WHY.
It was awkward letting my cat in when I woke up...
