Oh yes! It's true, try it sometime!

Running into a mirror at the speed of light would be just like running into any mass at the speed of light. The reflective properties of a mirror has no sort of mystical properties.
Light can easily be bounced of of a mirror because photons have extremely little mass. You however have extremely large mass by comparison.
And In response to another answer on here, you do not gain mass by traveling near or at the speed of light. If that were true then photons, electrons, etc. would all have infinite mass and the universe would really suck.

Light, more often then not, hits a mirror at the speed of light. It tends to be reflected, with an angle equal to the angle of incidence. At no point does it enter a parallel universe.
My cat recently ran into a mirror that I had left leaning against a coffee table while I dusted my high-altitude balooning trophies on the mantelpiece. He did not get reflected, nor did he pass into a parallel universe, but he was only travelling at about 0.3 metres per second, so I have no evidence of what would happen if he were.

Assuming that you don't find any trouble while reaching the speed of light (becoming infinitely heavy, needing infinite ammounts of energy, keeping yourself as a whole, and so on) (which is practically impossible in our times), running into the mirror would cause nothing else but you to "bounce" away (or break it), for a mirror is just a piece of glas with reflective/metallic paint on the back side.

Ok at the dialectecon wormhole asteroid sector. When you
approach mach 20 the speed is higher than light, and the
actually force is equivaleted to the force over source over
mass. That means the randomness is activated similar to
atomic valence. Your fields, and mass must have internal
constant such as fuel structures that are acceptable to travel
through time, energies, and restructurated element. And the
exxon guy would not go with me, despite you could launch
more of my test natural directocronites into the space path
and they are the rare source of properly numbered fuels. So
at least I still have my vending discos with platinumitonanos for
snacks, not so many space central pilots in warp time sites.

Think about it. Light runs into a mirror at the speed of light. That's how mirrors work!

Yeah in some other world, where the mirror is like a curtain to the other world.
But in reality, even if you could run at the speed of light (YOU CAN'T) your mass would start to become infinite, and you would probably end up demolishing anythin in you path.
Or just wind up with shards in your face

given the remote possibility that YOU can even run fast at all, let alone the speed of light, an inatement object cannot withstand the force between two parallel universes. you would have to create a doorway inside your own dimension. better get busy. it may take you a lifetime.

its got 2 be at least 1 mile an hour faster then the speed of light then u will

If you run into anything at that speed you end up dead.
If you believe in an afterlife, then yes, you do end up in a parallel universe.
Good luck with that one.

Can't say I ever tried. But if you do, remember not to break the mirror - who knows what bad luck might await you there!
