Hey, I did the mirror thing, and I saw what you mentioned. Your face goes all horrbly deformed and yet still a face but evil...argh...
I know about the "shifting faces." Among New Agers it is said that you can see another person's (or your own) past lives in this way.
I might have seen too many horror movies, but I always half expect to see someone else in the mirror behind me, like when the character cleans the fogged-up bathroom mirror and sees the face of a ghost, or his/her own face have changed in a horrifying way. I'd probably get a heart attack from the shock.
It's interesting, though -- there seems to be a very deep-sitting fear in humans of mirrors... I feel like they are gateways through which "things" can come. Anyone else feel that way?

Seen from across the bar, it appeared to be the picture of a skull, but seen close up it was in fact a picture of a young woman sitting at her dressing table, which had a large, oval mirror.
I'm sure this was a deliberate 'trompe de l'oeil' effect by the artist, but it was a good illustration of how the mind can be deceived.

it probably has something to do with you being disey from spining, and thinking you see something you really didn't. but i'm not gona try it unless there is someone with me

Whoa...
Mirrors.
Meditation or not, that was quite something. Even if your brain had made up this "other", question is still: who was it supposed to be?
Also as you "peeked" out from closed eyes, why was it appearing, did it know you had your eyes open?
When I was little I was obsessed with mirrors. Apart from the "infinite" me in our large wardrobe, I used to walk about in the home with a hand held mirror under my chin, so that I could only see the ceiling. This gave the impresion of floating. Other times I would walk around with the mirror on my side, which was also interesting.
My question was always this:
If you see everything in a mirror, is what you don't see there or not?
Like for example are your intestines in the mirror or is Africa in the mirror?
I think all this has been discussed earlier on maybe, but it just came back to me.
Also if we are all inverted in a mirror, are our souls inverted and if so in what way?
Brrrrrrr....mirrors....

I looked in the mirror today and saw a fat bloke looking back at me - I just assumed it was RealPaZZa and carried on as normal.
