No, to see objects without the presence of light is impossible. Even a little light will help you see an object. Light has to reflect from the object to the eye to allow you to see it.

Our eyes are not able to see anything in a dark room because in a dark room everything is seemed to be black. So as a result we can see nothing in the dark room
if there is no light source, then things can,t reflect the light. therefore, we cannot see them.
That is because there is no light to get reflected, refracted, absorbed, or transmitted in to the object for you to see.
Light is the very nature of sight; our eyes are basically a collection of cells sensitive to visible light and all its wavelengths.
we can not see reflection in the absence of light because it is only when light rays are obstructed by an opaque object that we get a shadow of the object
it is not impossible to see without light. When you press on your eyeballs you would see patterns etc. This is a phenomenon called phosphene
It may be possible if there is enough light in the room to see an outline of your reflection in the mirror. Or, your eyes may adjust to the dimness of the room and you may see a faint outline of your reflection in the mirror.
reflection
Reflection and refraction. You see the reflection on the bottom of the surface of the pool. You see the refraction of light through the surface of the pool. This is the super short answer...someone else might provide more information but the reader can "google" reflection and refraction to find out more.
The image you see the the reflection of light from the object into your eyes. During the day time, light from the object incident and reflect to your eyes as well as light from the outside refract to your eyes. Therefore, you barely notice the image. At night, however, there is no source of light from the window outside. As a result, there is only light from the object(yourself) reflect back to your eyes. Hence, your image is visible on the window at night.
You are able to see yourself in a mirror because the light rays are reflected 180 degrees back at you. A mirror image can be considered a light print of you. Mirrors that are not just flat surfaces will reflect light at different angles.
