You can look into mirrors in your dreams?

Most likely they knew how they looked in the dream and went to the bathroom IRL and got startled because the "dream version" was different. With these dreams, it's like that episode in Rick and Morty about the "Roy" game - living a life in VR that you believe to be 100% real.

Edit: and it bleeds over to reality for like 10 - 15 minutes

Oh alright, I had missed that this was outside the dream.

If you had dreamt so vividly that you were 80-ish years old, and then immediately after waking up you look in the mirror and see a 40-ish year old looking back at you. For a short time you can't comprehend what you're seeing.
