Newbie with a question

hello all in the forum and thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I am incredibly interested in this area, and have found the forum very interesting reading thus far. I felt compelled to join and ask a question that has been bothering me, even more intensely lately, and feel I need closure to move on.

Before I go into this, I just want to state that I am not a crazy person, and actually I've ignored this feeling/memory for a long time because I thought it was preposterous and embarassing. However, the intensity with which I feel it means I can ignore it no longer.

There was a celebrity I became aware of a few years ago. I just want to state that I was never a fan of this celebrity or his work, nor was I attracted to him in the traditional sense. I was, however, incredibly drawn to him for reasons I first could not fathom.

I felt like I knew him, I almost recognised his eyes the second I saw them. It's hard to explain. It was a feeling of being protected by seeing him, a feeling of safety and warmth and recognition, almost as if I was 'home'.

As I said, I ignored the feeling because I was embarassed - I never mentioned it to anyone and put it to the back of my mind, but it was still there whenever I accidentally came across this celebrity or his work (I actively refused to seek him out, again embarassed by this overwhelming feeling).

Sadly, this celebrity passed away. My reaction to this was actually terrifying to me. I burst into tears upon hearing, and felt grief similar to as if I had lost a lover or family member. I felt lost and out of control and couldn't fathom why I reacted to someone's death whom I didn't even know. I actually felt, and still feel, that he had been cruelly snatched from me, and was almost angry that I couldn't have helped him. It was very strange.

Well, again I found all of this weird and embarassing, so I ignored it, tried to bury it in my mind. But I find I can't let it go. I still feel sadness about it nearly everyday; I dream of him often, and I just feel this huge ache for him, I can almost feel his arms around me if I allow myself to be taken away by these feelings and let them flow freely.

Recently I have accepted these feelings more and more, and have thought perhaps some of these dreams could in fact be memories of us knowing each other in a past life.

Do you think this is possible? I almost need to know a more experienced view on this, because to be honest these feelings are a burden to carry, I find them confusing and embarassing as stated, and am sometimes afraid of them.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much for reading x

Welcome to the forum. :) Yes, it is possible you knew this person in another life. And no, you are not crazy.
 
Thank you for the welcome :)


Thank you for the confirmation also.


It might sound strange, but since posting my original message I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders and it actually allowed me to see and 'feel' some of the dreams I had a bit more clearly. I am now going to try some regression to see if I can put any more pieces together.

It always helps to talk about these things. No one here will think you are crazy. There is a Brian Weiss Regression Video on YouTube that has worked for many people.
 
Hi gazingatthemoon


Welcome to the forum.


Yes. Sounds like a past life memory to me. It has all the classic hallmarks. No, you're not crazy.


I'm sorry to hear of your loss and I know how you must be feeling, particularly being so isolated with this feeling that it's hard to talk about, let alone get any sympathy. Rest assured, you will not be separated forever. You will be together again 'one day'. I know it's not much comfort, but it's something.


If you're interested, as argonne says, you can probably find out about how you knew each other before. It might help make you feel a bit better. It's always a good idea to start a journal and start noting things down as they come to you. Keep it by the bed in case you have more dreams, which often happens once you start to open up to it more.


There are lots of useful tips in the FAQ section. Take a look and feel free to ask as many questions as you like.
 
Gazingatthemoon, I don't think you're crazy. You seem to have a past life connection with that departed soul. I'm glad that you feel a weight has lifted, and talking about things always helps.


In my history, the best thing for me is to share what I know about past lives. Not everyone is as in-tune as you or I may be. Many who are not in-tune will possibly try to write you off as a nut case. But I'd just ignore them. Anyone who loves you and believes in you won't do that.


My husband, for instance, hasn't experienced a past life memory, but he has received some info from an intuitive healer who's a friend of ours. He doesn't doubt it, just because he doesn't experience it directly. And in my case, he is very supportive of what I feel it takes to make me at ease with these past lives. In about a month, we're going to travel a bit to actually see a B-17 because I wanted to see it, and because the death in my most immediate past life was as pilot of a b-17. However, it helps that he is a pilot himself and loves all planes. ;-)


And at the risk of running on and becoming too boring, the first time I laid eyes on my husband, I felt a warm, comfortable feeling. He seemed to have a 'glow' of sorts. We were friends for 3 years before we ever became more, but it's the happiest, easiest, most comfortable relationship I've ever had. I'm absolutely convinced that we were together in a past life and there seems to be no trauma in that life, which is maybe why we're so copasetic.


SO, I'm pretty sure that you indeed knew the soul you mention in a past life.


Best of luck and please let us know how your exploration in that realm goes.

Are you aware that's a slang word from the 1940s? The only people I have ever heard use it were from the WWII generation. It's not even in some of the newer dictionaries.

:) Not surprising, knowing my past-life history. ;-) I didn't realize, though, that the word was more prevalent with that generation. I love learning something new every day.
 
Thank you so much for your replies, much appreciated.


Since I wrote the post I've felt a sense of relief, almost as if I've managed to let go of some of my grief. As you say, it is good to talk about these things.


I didn't mean to insinuate I think people who have past life memories are crazy, by the way - I worried I was crazy because this was a celebrity, and I didn't want anyone to think I was a superfan or obsessive, confusing fantasy for real past life memories. It just seemed so unbelievable that of all people, it was a celebrity who I connected with. But now I know for sure.


I have already begun to keep a journal and will be doing some regression. I am excited to see what I can discover!


Thank you again x


PS - Susan, lovely story about your husband, thanks for sharing!

Yours is not the wildest story I've ever come across, by a long way! :)


Let us know how you get along.
