When you see your own reflection in the mirror, what are you actually looking at?

[TheSilentObserver]

Physically it's impossible to see your own face

[Osaid]

I've always found it to be creepy/unsettling. It's like looking at yourself from a third person perspective, like in a video game. Your sense of self becomes less coherent.

This post reminds me of this particular meditation:

"While you are standing in front of the mirror in your bathroom, first look into the reflection: you are looking and the reflection is the object. Then change the whole situation. Start feeling that you are the reflection and the reflection is looking at you. Immediately you will see a change happening. A great energy moving towards you." Osho

Everything you see is your own face.

Physically is only a paradigm. You can have a samadhi experience and become the whole field of vision temporarely. 

"Your own" Is a concept. Ultimately posession does really not exist. Things just are but you identify with objects, body, thoughts, etc. 

Face is a mental concept as well. Sit down and try to define exactly what your face is. Exactly. You wont be able to without fuzzy generalizations.

 

Your whole problem is in the way you phrased your question and in the un-inquired assumptions and paradigms you hold. Question and think every single word/thoughts/concept/assumption.

Thats if you are interested in understanding reallity and yourself.
