How did Borges use dreams and mirrors in his writing?

Answered in Jorge Luis Borges's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Dreams and mirrors are potent symbols for me, representing the elusive nature of reality and identity. Dreams offer a glimpse into subconscious landscapes and can dissolve logical constraints, mirroring the labyrinthine structures I explore. Mirrors, in their capacity for reflection and infinite regression, challenge our sense of self and the authenticity of our perceptions. They are tools to question what is real, what is a copy, and the very fabric of our experienced world.
