Research has it that looking at oneself in the mirror at night can result in insomnia and even lead to nightmares. The belief is the mirror bounces energy and doubles it, visually interrupting the peacefulness within the bedroom. And as for nightmares that may occur, many believe that when we sleep, our spirit leaves our body.
In normal observers, gazing at one’s own face in the mirror for a few minutes, at a low illumination level, produces the apparition of strange faces, but they often see hallucinations like monsters, archetypical faces of relatives and deceased, and animals. Gazing into a mirror for an extended period, especially late at night, is thought to attract negative energies and disturb one’s peace of mind.
Some believe that if you gaze into the mirror at 3am, you may invite something sinister into your life that can never be undone. So, if you are tempted by the 3am challenge, remember Sarah’s tale. Two words: DON’T LOOK! you could see more than just your face staring back.
According to astrologers, one should never see one’s own image in the mirror especially soon after waking up in the morning. Doing this is a sign of growing ego in the mind. At the same time, the work that one starts after this are bound to get spoiled for one reason or the other.
Scientists have it that in looking at oneself in the mirror for a long period of time, your brain gets bored and starts imagining yourself as someone else. Recent studies have shown that if you look at yourself in a mirror for 10 minutes or longer your brain changes the way your face looks, and some reported of seeing their face turn into a “monster” or another person.
Do you believe this is mere Myth or Fact?
