Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
Mirror
Mirrors in dreams force confrontation with self-image and identity. What you see in the mirror reveals how you perceive yourself. A distorted reflection suggests distorted self-image. A broken mirror represents shattered self-perception. Not recognizing your reflection indicates an identity crisis. In many traditions, mirrors are portals to other realms or the soul itself.
