in a dream I recently had, there was a playroom, several stories deep into an endless building. in the playroom was a magic mirror, but you did not see yourself in the magic mirror. instead it was a simple science trick, at least it was dream science as I understood it in the dream. The mirror showed you a walkway that branched and as you walked in place, there’s an illusion of walking forward and even turning in the mirror down side paths. but if you stood still, the mirror wouldn’t move its image. I was giving a tour and showing others the science behind the magic mirror, as each in turn were amazed. it was not an electric mirror, but a trick of gratings and reflections that worked perfectly with biological vision systems. you could even run down these pathways and make turns, but the image was always static, the apparent responsiveness was in the participation.
