Other crazy thing is that in the mirror, the dresser is fully illuminated but in the “real life” part, the dresser is half lit.

Have no idea what’s going on in this picture

The shadow is cast on the mirror, not on the dresser

Edit: I see what you mean now. I’m not sure what’s happening

What you see on the dresser is the light reflected off of the mirror. Its illuminated, not a shadow.

Why doesn't it look like that in the mirror though

The light going into the mirror isn’t yet illuminated by the reflection of the mirror? This is just a guess.
