There is this stereotype of thinking when it comes to dreams that the kind of person you are “psychologically” when you sleep is different from the kind of person you are when you’re awake (invoked in conversations such as whether hearing a voice when falling asleep is the same as hearing a voice vividly enough while awake that someone might be schizophrenic). So then the reasoning often goes that if you look in a mirror, you always see the version of you that you are according to the laws of how the expectations work.
The last time this happened, what did you see?
Do you know the baalspawn monster form from BG2? Something like that.
That was a joke… I have incredibly detailed dreams, meaning that there are quite a few I remember vividly years later, but no, cannot actually recall looking into a mirror in any of them. (though in steamy dreams the parts of my body in my field of view were similar to real life)
There is a movie I supposedly saw as a 9-10 year old child, but I’m no longer sure it was not a dream. I remember it in vivid detail, but there were only so many dinosaur movies made in the 70-80s & it does not seem to be one of them. Described the plot & prominent scenes in the past on movie subreddits & also to LLMs & there is no hit…
