What does it mean to dream about mirror without reflection?

A dream mirror in which there is no reflection of oneself or the reflection is distorted beyond recognition.

A "mirror without reflection" is one of the most alarming images of folk omens, associated with the loss of a part of oneself or a bad sign. We neither confirm nor refute such superstitions—we look deeper. The absence of a reflection in a mirror is an alarming but deeply symbolic image: an encounter with a feeling of lost clear identity, the question of "who am I really" at a moment when the habitual self-image has stopped working. This indicates an identity crisis requiring re-evaluation.
