Have I had a past life?

[musicmylife]

ok well for years at random points in my life with no links at all i have had dreams all either very simular or the same. i have also had feelings for as long as i can remember that i havent been able to describe. since i can remember i've had a feeling that i need to run/escape. i have an issue with trusting people although i have never been betrayed. i have feelings of hopelessness and i have always felt the need to stand up and not back down, however this feeling is usually accompanied with a feeling of knowing something really bad will happen. the feelings are hard to describe but for as long as i can remember i have been able to understand negative emotions well and i havent been fazed by bad situations because to me they dont seem that bad. the dreams i spoke of are all of a dark cellar type room and a smirking person standing over me- i'm trapped. i know i can't escape or stop them but i refuse to back down or just stay quiet i have to fight even though its hopeless. its the same sort of thing and the same place each time.

i think that if i did have a past life something traumatic must of happened or atleast something bad. do you think it's worth trying to meditate or something to find out what happened or past life regression or something. but firstly does this sound like a past life or something. sorry it was so long i just need to find out.

Welcome to the forum musicmylife,


I'd suggest starting in the FAQ section with the following thread: How can I learn about my past lives?

for years at random points in my life with no links at all i have had dreams all either very simular or the same.

Repeating dreams can be past-life related, or they can simply be an present life issue coming to attention through our dreams. You may enjoy the thread Characteristics of Past Life Dreams.

do you think it's worth trying to meditate or something to find out what happened or past life regression or something.

I think meditation is always worth the effort, regardless if it enlightens us to our pl's or not. It's good for the mind and body.


If you feel it's something that you need to - or would like to - address, then I would say it's definitely worth trying.


Audio cd's suitable for past life regressions is a good place to start.


If you're looking to have a professional regression done, there's a lot of great info in the FAQ

Hi music! Welcome to this Forum!


Aili has given you some wonderful suggestions already, I would love to hear your thoughts and feelings on them!


As I have said elsewhere on the Forum, I believe there are good reasons for us to remember our past lives. The kind of dream you describe might very well be past life related. Did they have the emotional intensity/reality that oddzphish describes? Your description does sound quite intense.


How do you feel about it, if I may ask? Do you feel that knowing more about these past situations may be useful to you now?


Do you have any other experiences, aside from the dreams, that you feel may be past life related?


Oddzphish, welcome! I'm also looking forward to hearing more of your experiences!

sorry for not responding for a while ive been very busy and i couldnt remember the site name for a while so it took some looking to find it again.


the information has been helpful and i think i may try meditation although im going to have to do some research about that as im not sure how to go about it.


also when talking about the emotions accompanied by the dreams they are always fairly strong and then even when something happens that should make me scared or worried when i wake up, because of what is happening, i dont have any of these feelings. its more like im resigned to the situation or like it was inevitable and im not scared becuase its not like a present danger like in typical nighmares i tend to have, and i always just wake up thoughtfull, wondering.


i think if i have had a past life it would help me to explore it more as then i may be able to move on. at the moment im suspicious of everyone, i have trust issues and when i 'sense' that somethings not right i always tense myself for either a fight or to run. i cant let go of these feelings and once they drove me into a deep depression from which i almost didnt recover. i was suspicious of everyone and i didn't know how to get over my feelings especially when the feelings of despair and hopelessness started leaking out of my dreams and into my everyday life.


as for any other experiences well i can't remember any off the top of my head. but i can remember when i was like 7 or 8 maybe earlier i used to write stories every single one of them was about running and fear a feeling i had never experienced and still havent in this life- too complex for a person that young to understand. at the moment i cant think of any others but if i do i'll tell you.

Hi musicmylife!


Good to see you back!


In my opinion, it's very positive that you have this desire to move on - deal with these issues and heal.


What you mentioned that you did as a child - writing repeatedly about a specific complex feeling - may also be a sign of past life trauma. I do believe it's worth trying some meditation techniques.


There are some excellent threads on the subject. Have you broused through them? Maybe you'll find some helpful.

thank you for the reply.


thank you for the links i have now looked at these and have decided to give it a go. i need to explore these feelings, i feel so weird inside at the moment hanging onto something but unable to find out what it is , so i cant let go. i need to move on, i have all i need and could wish for but i still feel empty and alone i need to move on so that i can become the person i want to be. i cant let these feelings hold me back any longer.
