Address the audience directly, thereby breaking the fourth wall.

Follow the white rabbit?

Or look at the mirror.  If you can see the whole of you, exit through the hole.

all great guesses, grimbal is the closest with a good answer but not quite right, the door thing was a good guess to.

No see you have to distract Morpheus and eat both pills at once. He's obviously tricking you into eating the licorice flavored one.

Though I like the breaking the fourth wall answer

Sigh, this riddle probably has something to do with a play on the words whole and hole....

Consider the room a box, then think outside the box and walk away.

Quantum teleportation.

I suspect (as grimbal and cheesepuff seem to)  it's along the lines of the protracted... "bang your head on teh wall so it's sore. Pick up the saw and cut the table in half, two halves make a whole. Put the hole in the wall. Crawl out the wall"

Though it may be using the mirror to see what you can see. Then get that which you saw.  One saws wood.

That was a close shave, getting the wood. So use the shaver to make wood shavings.

Mirrors are shiny. So sprinkle the shavings on the mirror, and you're left with "e".

This answer is going on so long, that now you;re probably cross. So take the X and place next to the "e". You now have "ex"- so look at it. Take "it" and place on the end of "ex" yielding exit. Use the exit.

I like the exit one

Walk out the paper walls

Tunnel out with a shard of a mirror

Shatter the mirror. Bring it back to the present for a sh*tter. Then break the sh*tter for the plumbing. Then navigate through the plumbing out of the room

You fall though the mirror back to your dimension.

if you are looking at the mirror (facing it) all what you'll see weill be you  and the mirror at your back,everything else it's white,so the exit might be at the back of iether of the two mirrors. ::) ::)

You look directly at the reflective surface, turn around, and run, so it looks loke you're running away, like a certain main character of a certain movie.

... seriously, no one heard this one before? (I cannot for the life of me find riddles I know exist on this site with the seach engine so don't know if similar ones were posted)

The one i heard was with a table as well, but doesn't matter i suppose you can do same thing with mirror.

Its a string of puns... be warned

[hide]You look in the mirror, you see what you "saw"
you take the saw and cut the mirror in half
put the halfs together, 2 halfs make a whole
go out the whole.
Or just use the saw to cut a hole in the wall, w/e[/hide]

Why would you need a door or window with only a roof, floor, and walls...since there could easily be one wall short of four by this description.

But that is not my answer, this is my answer:

:: [hide]Look in the mirror, when you see no reflection it dawns on you that you are a spirit (dead) and you are miraculously transported out of limbo to an afterlife befitting your life.[/hide] ::

or

:: [hide]drop altitude[/hide] ::

[hide]Look in the mirror.[/hide]

[hide]Realise that since there is no light source in the room it must be a one way mirror with light (and thus the exit) on the other side.[/hide]

[hide]Break the mirror.[/hide]

[hide]Eat ice cream. No sprinkles.[/hide]

[hide]You look in the mirror. The mirror is made out of “glass”, Philip Glass, US avant-garde composer. He is not happy because he is now stuck with you in the room w/o windows or doors. On the other hand, you’re not lonesome anymore, because now you got “company”, a small unit of troops. Ask the soldier with the bazooka to make a hole in the wall. Go out the hole and buy them a round of beer.[/hide]

Of course, a round would have a hole, which could be used to create more exit from the exit-less room.

Since the mirror is on the wall, there must be a "nail", the claw of a mammal, bird, or reptile. I just don't know what to do with it. :-[
