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.
Rabbit
Rabbits symbolize fertility, abundance, quick thinking, and luck. The rabbit's ability to reproduce rapidly makes it a universal fertility symbol. In many cultures, the rabbit represents good fortune. A rabbit running may indicate the need for quick action or a tendency to run from problems. The 'rabbit hole' concept represents going deeper into the unknown or into obsessive thinking.
