Dreaming about a reflection in a puddle
What does it mean to dream a puddle shows something wrong?
Reported, and they behave like the lake and mirror reports: sometimes wrong, sometimes showing something not there.
The mechanism is the same everywhere reflections appear here. A reflection has to agree with the thing reflected, and nothing in a dream is tracking either, so agreement is the exception rather than the rule.
The shadow entry describes the identical failure with light instead of water, and between them they cover most of the consistency checks available in a dream.
A puddle has the advantage of being underfoot and unremarkable, which means a dreamer looking into one is not expecting anything and is therefore more likely to notice.
Where this reads well
Another member of the consistency-failure group, and a conveniently placed one.
Where it is harder
None strongly reported.
Worth asking yourself
Did it match? Was anything in it that was not there? Did I look twice?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
