Writers' Quick Poll Thread

Not a name post, but I’m running out of ideas of where to ask this question and running out of time to ask it in.

Mirror scenes: is it appropriate to describe a character’s appearance using a mirror scene when that character suffers hallucinations? So, for example, the ‘first’ description he gives of his hair and eyes (and other details) is hallucinated. When he actually looks away from the mirror, he reflects on the accurate description, since there’s nothing there to really prove him wrong now.

Does that make any sense?

(I plan to not use mirror scenes for the other POV characters, but I was wondering how ‘okay’ this was.)
