Dude I was just looking into this mirror stuff check this shit out

Developmental, neurophysiological and neuropsychological studies showed that mirrored reflections are not equivalent to pictures and live videos [9]. Children show signs of self-recognition in photos much sooner than they are able to pass the mark test with mirrors [10]. On the other hand, children pass mirror versions of the mark task before the versions involving live videos [11]. The neural signatures for self-recognition differ depending upon whether using a mirror or a photo [12]. Some neuropsychological patients may not recognize themselves in mirrors (mirrored-self misidentification; [13]), while retaining their capacity to recognize themselves in photos [14]. Feinberg [15] proposed to group various syndromes that present alterations in the patient’s self-identity within the category of neuropathologies of the self. These produce an alteration in the regulation of the self-boundaries, either in the direction of the under-relatedness to personally significant aspects of the self (as mirrored-self misidentification) or in the direction of the over-relatedness to selected aspects of the world that the patient inappropriately over-incorporates into the self.

In connection to phenomenological experiences of alienation or dissociation by the subject in front of its reflected image [6,7,8], a relationship to out-of-body experiences [16] can be discussed. Experiments with virtual reality showed that a multi-sensory bodily self-representation is bound through the integration of visual virtual reality and touch information in experiments of spatial self-location [17,18,19]. During mirror self-recognition, a similar binding process is probably present for multi-sensory integration of visual (i.e., the mirrored image of the subject’s body), somatic, kinaesthetic, affective and motor representations into a global representation of the subject’s self.

Strange-face illusions in the mirror have been recently described during gazing at one’s own face reflected in the mirror for a few minutes at a low illumination level (Figure 1). Healthy observers sometimes see huge distortions of their own faces, but they often see monstrous beings, prototypical faces, faces of relatives and deceased, and faces of animals [20,21].

Is all from Carl Jung, "Jung had an apparent interest in the paranormal and occult. For decades he attended seances and claimed to have witnessed "parapsychic phenomena". Initially he attributed these to psychological causes, even delivering 1919 lecture in England for the Society for Psychical Research on "The Psychological Foundations for the belief in spirits".[95] However, he began to "doubt whether an exclusively psychological approach can do justice to the phenomena in question"[95] and stated that "the spirit hypothesis yields better results".[96]" from wiki
