Driving vs Mirror

Driving

Driving represents your sense of control over life's direction and the choices you're making. The conditions of driving matter immensely: driving on a clear road suggests confidence, driving in fog indicates uncertainty, losing control of the vehicle reflects real-life loss of control. Driving someone else's car may indicate living someone else's life or using borrowed resources. Back-seat driving represents wanting control without responsibility.

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.
