Jewelry
Jewelry represents self-worth, personal adornment, and the value you place on yourself and your relationships. Rings specifically relate to commitment and relationships. Necklaces suggest what you display publicly. Hidden jewelry indicates private values. Losing jewelry reflects fear of losing something precious — a relationship, identity, or self-worth. Inherited jewelry connects to family legacy.
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.
