Am I Going Crazy?
I'm wondering if I'm going crazy...I'm actually going through alot in my life right now, I'm a female, I don't feel like I should be and I'm very uncomfortable in my own body...yes I dress similar to a man, I have short hair I tend to spike...I'm not very feminine and being feminine makes me very uncomfortable. I've had several recurring dreams about war, I can point out the uniform down to the pants and boots, also the gun and I've narrowed it down to a certain army in World War 2....the dreams are very vivid...I've been scared of loud bangs such as fireworks ever since I was a little kid, my first instinct has always been either to run for my life or duck and cover in a huddle type position...I'm just wondering if there's any chance this could be a past life since the dreams happen over and over and everything I'm going through right now, I'm just a little scared I guess, can anyone help me out

A few other details which might be helpful and it sounds crazy but when I look in a mirror, it doesn't look like me, it's like I'm looking at someone else completely different and a body that isn't mine is carrying me around like I'm looking through a camera lens.
 
Hi Reallyconfused and a warm welcome!


First of all: you're not going crazy!! -- yes, you've come to the exact right place! :D


What you describe sounds very much like past life memories and how you describe feeling like someone else is quite common :)


Switching gender from life to life is very common - I was a man in my last life too and I certainly have male quirks that are quite weird (such a stroking a beard:confused::laugh:) and when I was a little girl I wanted to stand up and pee, which got my mother rather frustrated :D ...


I know we have quite a few threads about 'gender issues and past lives' and I'll try to dig up a few for you.


I just want to stress again: you are not crazy and you certainly don't have to be afraid of what you're experiencing. It's all in the past :)


Here are some to start off with:


Change in gender-wish PL related?


Gender


Are gender issues past life related

Hi ReallyConfused, welcome to the forum :)


I agree with everything that Sunniva has said already. You're not going crazy, many people feel uncomfortable with their gender and I believe it is definately past life related. I'm not sure what the reason is, most people who change gender between lives fully accept their new role, but for some, it can be a real ordeal. Maybe it's because we've spent several lifetimes as one gender, and then crossed over to the other? The soul has no gender, but maybe it has a preference?


I know that in my present life, I sometimes feel as if I'm 'learning' how to be male .... typical 'male' activities don't come naturally to me and I often find it far easier to relate to the female side of things. Although I can remember one or two male past lives, I can remember several female lives, and I have the same feeling of discomfort with my male gender as you do with being a female.


So you're certainly not alone here. One thing I've learnt and try to accept, is that we must have chosen our gender for a reason. It's not permanent, and there's nothing you can do to change it, so just try to make the best of life and accept that you are who you are. Underneath the skin, we are all the same really, and that is all that matters ;)


Hope you enjoy your stay here, feel free to ask questions, or you can PM me if you like.


Chris :)
 
Thanks to you too also, I can't talk to my wife about these things as I'm scared to hear her reaction so I just play along like I'm fine and life is perfect...I'm glad I found these forums...thanks
 
Please, reallyconfused, if you have any questions or doubts don't hesitate to post them. It helps to talk about it and we're all in the same boat.


Sometimes it can be scary to find out about past lives, but it's also a beautiful thought. Everything in this world is cyclical and so is human life. Reincarnation is just as natural the seasons going by.


Don't be afraid that it's all just something you're making up. We've all been there, still are sometimes, but knowing your past life (lives) creates a dimension to your life, gives it a new depth. :)
 
You are absolutely not going crasy! I had similar experiences when I was a little girl. Somehow I felt very uncomfortable to be a girl and I really wanted to be a boy. I was also playing mostly with boys. Sunniva, your story made me laugh! LMAOLMAO I actually had exactly the same thing! I wanted to pee standing and I actually tried on a several occasions...not to my mom's pleasure, of cousre!


I also very often dream that I am a man. And my boyfriend tells me sometimes that he feels that I have a man's mind in a female body (for various reasons).


So yes, this confusion you experience is definitely not something that makes you crasy.
