Dreams about Past Lives

[SoulSha]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I could really use some insight as I have no one to talk to about this.

Recently, in the last month or so, I've been having detailed dreams about past lives I've had (this has never happened to me before). These are so different than my regular dreams, they're more like memories I'm reliving and everything is in detail and I've been to 3 different time periods. Wearing the clothes, speaking a different language, and in one of them I was a man (I'm a woman in this lifetime anyhow).

One period has popped up 2x. The first dream I had, was set in the late 70's, early 80's in Paris. I'm with a group of artist, I myself seem to be one as well. And we're discussing going to Italy. I have a lover who's also an artist. My clothes were from that time, and I was speaking in french.

3 days ago, I dreamed of that time again. This time, I was with my lover (don't know if it's my soul mate or just the man I'm with). We're lying in bed and he's stroking my hair and talking to me about upcoming plans to visit Italy. I can see his face so clearly, and his 80's style clothes. Again we're both talking in french.

I woke up with the details ingrained in my mind. I could smell the room, feel the clothes and the bed and him stroking my hair.

My question is...if anyone can help. What does this mean??! Why am I dreaming of this time all of a sudden and this man? I've been trying to look into it (as I believe in reincarnation). I'm born in the 80's so it would make sense if I died not too long after (if in fact I were from that time period).

Has this happened to anyone else? I feel like I'm supposed to be getting a lesson or a message from that life that I need to help me in this one, but I don't know what it is. I wanted to take a past-life regression session here where I live, but it is extremely expensive.

Any ideas or starting points I can look into? Thanks so much!! -SoulSha

Welcome to the forum SoulSha. Those memories certainly sound similar to what a lot of others have experienced, and I appreciate your sharing them with us.
There are several suggestions that address your question about learning more other than spending a fortune on a good regression therapist; meditation is spoken of often and there are several threads about it, and there are a number of regression videos that can be purchased plus some on the internet.

Here is a thread that might help.

Welcome to the forum Soulsha, we're happy you found us, and hope we might help you in your journey. Twenty years ago I went through a very similar situation with dreams of unspeakable clarity, and like you sought answers here. It took me some time to read everything on reincarnation, but everything I could get my hands on was studied. I am a firm believer in a deliberate process, perhaps a carry over from my days as a detective. As an investigator I was trained to know the subject inside and out. Research was the key, and reading the method. Next, documentation, write everything down in your journal; every detail of every dream, keep it by your bed side, and be deliberate and diligent. Lastly, open your psyche through meditation. There is a reason Buddhists believe in reincarnation and meditation. By no means do you need to be a Buddhist, but you can certainly learn from their methods. I would also add... do not be in a hurry! There is no time table in the cosmos that will change the course or timing of your journey... it is simply... as it is. Be patient, have faith that you are where you are suppose to be. Persevere in all aspects of your life. Develop and hone your ability to be mindful... I believe this to be is a key factor in the discovery of past lives and related people. Google mindfulness, read about it. Use your powers of concentration to look at the world before you mindfully... at that point knowledge will come. Trust.

Life is truly a beautiful journey. You've been given a gift of dreams that many search for. There's no rush to discover their meaning, just trust its coming and rejoice in the mystery.

Blessings,
~Tman

I can't stress it enough, write everything down that you remember, even if it sounds small and insignificant

I too am born in the 1980's in this lifetime, the short time between your previous self dying and getting reincarnated is not odd, I've had that happen several times

Read up on the subject, read around here, plenty of experience to learn from, log your memories and join in any conversation you like (even if it's an old one)

You can use this thread as sort of a digital diary as well, get feedback on thoughts and so on
