If Rasoolullah (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) is seen looking into the mirror it implies that he is urging his Ummah to fully repay whatever amaanah (trust) is given to it. Rasoolullah (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) Eating Something: If Rasoolullah (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) is seen eating (something) it means he is urging his Ummah to discharge Zakaah.

Hathurani tr.· p. 91

It symbolises a person's wife. If a person sees himself as looking into a mirror, if his wife is expecting, she will give birth to a son who will resemble him. But if she is not nor does he have a son it means he will lose his job and someone else will take his position. If a pregnant woman sees herself looking into the mirror she will give birth to a girl who will resemble her in every way. But if she is not pregnant it means her husband will marry another woman who will occupy the same house. If a little boy sees himself looking into a mirror, a brother resembling him will be born. And if a little girl happens to see the same dream her mother will give birth to a girl.

The mirror represents a beautiful woman and may be indicative ofa man's chivalry and high status, depending on how big and clear itis. If a man dreams that he sees his face in the mirror larger than it is,his status will rise; if he sees it more handsome than it is, his positionwill improve.
