Since ancient times, mirrors have been considered not just a piece of furniture, but a window to another world. All peoples of the world have their own beliefs associated with mirrors. With their help, they looked into the past and the future, healed the sick and sent curses.
No matter how skeptical many may be about superstitions, beliefs associated with mirrors, most are at least with interest. A mirror hangs in almost every hallway, people gaze into it with enthusiasm before Christmas, trying to predict fate, and carefully wipe it with a cloth after the guests leave. Scientists (or pseudoscientists) are still exploring the depth of the looking glass world, and adherents of the art of feng shui, having correctly arranged the mirrors, fill the house with positive energy.
Decoy mirror
There are many rules explaining how and where to hang them to attract wealth and luck. All fashionable interior designers know these instructions by heart, avoiding hanging mirrors near the bed. There are several explanations for this. If you believe that the mirror is a kind of gateway to parallel worlds, then neglecting this advice is at least dangerous. During sleep, a person falls into oblivion, loses touch with reality. Without realizing it, he can cross this invisible border of the worlds. First, the astral body can get lost in the labyrinths of the looking glass and not come back. Secondly, it is not known what awaits him there and whether he will be able to cope with it. And thirdly, who knows what will jump out of this mirror onto the sleeping man's head.
Mirror magnet
By the way, the legends about the mirror monster are not so fantastic, given the facts confirming that mirrors are a powerful energy magnet. By attracting the energy of a defenseless sleeping person, they may well harm him. Sleep, which should add strength, will lead to exhaustion. The harm is obvious, and it doesn't matter what caused it - an unknown beast from the looking glass or a magnet in the form of a mirror. And if you remember that a person periodically wakes up during the night, contemplation of his own disheveled face can generally lead to a heart attack.
The mirror that multiplies
If you believe feng shui, you should not sleep in front of the mirror for other reasons. Reflecting energy, it becomes fixated on the owners of the bedroom, stagnates. This can lead to illness or other difficulties. In addition, the mirror tends to multiply the number of objects. Accordingly, it projects twice as many negative sharp corners on innocent sleepers. Reflecting sleeping spouses, it pushes them to betrayal. What harmony after that.
