Lifelong Mystery Solved

Have you ever met a six year old that talked like he or she was forty years old ? Have you ever wondered why ? Have you ever heard the phrase, “Old soul” ?

That was me.

It all started a couple of decades ago with a pair of recurrent dreams. The images were in color and quite vivid. The first image was as if taken from a plane circling an oval harbor. The water is different shades of blue, with the lightest blue next to the shore line. Sand on the shore line met the water. Vegetation started close to the shoreline and dominated the island or atoll.

The second image was even more vivid. I’m flying a plane, a propeller driven plane. The plane is in a climb, pulling away from a bombing run. My crewmates in the plane are cheering. The building behind us, the one we are pulling away from, is brown stucco with a red tile roof. There are palm trees around the building. Then, there are the phobias.

The first is a fear of deep water. On past life forums, it is said that the deep water phobia is a commonality of Titanic survivors. However, if one was on the Titanic, they couldn’t have been flying around-that doesn’t match up. The other phobia is not necessarily a fear of high places, as it is a fear of dropping from a high place. An elevator ride doesn’t bring it on, or an airplane ride, but if the airplane makes a sudden movement, the phobia kicks in.

Then, there is the pre-cognition, otherwise known as d
 
I would think that a phobia of deep water would be common with pilots, especially in the Pacific theater in WWII, if that is where you were. A dive bomber shot down over the ocean only had one place to go, into the drink. So your phobia would certainly be understandable.
 
One of my friends has a terrible fear of being in a submarine slowly filling up with water. He has horrible nightmares about it. I think this could have been how he died in his past life. I told him this and he seemed rather open minded about. I told him to have regression to see if it would stop his nightmares but he doesnt want to re-live that experience if indeed it was from a past life. :laugh:
 
Yes, I also think this. He isnt a a true believer in reincarnation though, he is only open minded to the possibility, so he wont view regression the same way we do. I guess if the nightmares keep happening he will possibly use regression as a last resort, like many others.
 
I too would suggest regression therapy.


As for the life long mystery...I think a part of the message got deleted, or I was not able to read it, one or the other. I look forward to reading your solution.


I was not aware there was an acknowledged deep-water phobia from Titanic survivors...it seems experiencing any sinking ship could induce a sense of dread of water with no apparent bottom. I suffer not from being on deep water but rather from being in and looking down into water and seeing nothing but beams of light stretching into the stygian depths. Even with scuba or snorkel my breathing stops, however while in a boat or on a board, no problem.
 
I dont mind boats either, or swimming in swimming pools. I would never go into the sea. When I go on holiday I stay on the beach. You would never get me swimming about in the open sea and I dont know why:laugh: I think its the fact that anything can be below you.

...or behind or above...all of it a little unnerving. As long as I can touch the bottom I'm usually alright.
 
Like a Fish in Water, but NOT in the Atlantic! :)


One of my Past Life (PL) childhood dreams entails a young WWII RAF pilot dying by apparently drowning in the channel and in the dream I could see the White Cliffs of Dover as my plane went down in the Atlantic, too injured to get out in time.


Fast forward to the early '60's in my current life, when one of many swimming excursions at a beach, my Parents took me across state to the Atlantic Ocean, where I refused to even get near the water, much less out of the car, and I actually became hysterical and finally terrified to the point of screaming at the thought of swimming there (I was NOT a happy camper here).


Yet on the many excursions to the Gulf of Mexico beaches, there was NO problem at all and I was totally alright with swimming there in the Gulf.


Also I was alright with swimming in the areas lakes and rivers, but I was terrified of the Atlantic, and I think I know the reason why, any feedback on this? :)

i havent found the source of my phobia :( but i'm the same as you, only instead of being on top of water and seeing beams of light going in, mine's the opposite - looking from under the water, seeing the beams of light shine thru. i cant even watch ocean documentaries with that, or my heart beats out of my chest.


i hate being in, on, over, or around water lol. the only water that doesnt bother me is in the shower/tub, or sink. i hate pools, i dont like being on a boat. i cant swim because i cant make myself relax enough to actually learn.


but yeehaarider, i'm glad you found the source of your phobia :)
