Past Loves

Dear Supernatural:

I understand exactly what you must be feeling. I have had dreams and visions of a woman-- I believe the same one throughout several of my lives if not all of them-- who comes to me at night and with whom I share my worries, problems, and so on. With the exception of the 2 lives where I was female, she has always been my wife. I have also had what I believe are visions of the future. I don't know if the woman in the future visions is the same one, but I know that I'll love her just as much even if she isn't. However, my connection to the one in the future visions is almost identical, so it might be the same soul.

Sometimes I cry out for her, I run to her, but I can't find her. Other times I find her. Sometimes I even have sensory perception in my dreams, which always is a shock. But I've been seeing her for the last 10 years-- since I was...11 or so, until now.

In the future visions I'm fairly certain she's Japanese, but I'm not 100 percent sure. I've also seen a little girl in those ones, who is most probably our daughter-- totally heart-meltingly adorable, with her mother's shiny dark hair and warm smile.

So take heart...you're not alone.

I believe in the Japanese concept of the Floating Bridge of Dreams. It's said to be a place in the dream world where lovers meet by night. I also believe in another Japanese concept-- the Red Thread of Fate-- which is the tie that binds two souls that love.

My wife's name in the 1860s was Midori. Interestingly enough, if you change the order and position of 2 or 3 of the lines in the Japanese letter for her name, you get the word for "Fate"-- "enishi". I'm in the city of Kyoto now, where I met her in that life...and I'm working on a new drawing of her, too, which does not come easily for me. I keep feeling her echoes near me...and though I have no time to explore this city on this visit, I know without a doubt that I will come back...

I wish I had the privacy to let myself cry here...it hurts to be so close and not have her with me in the waking world.

Nobutada, Interesting! I would like to learn more about the Floating Bridge of Dreams and the Red Thread of Fate. Is there any reading you might suggest? Are they apart of a greater philosophy or story? Thanks again...your Japanese history is always of great interest to me. Some day I want to spend time there and absorb the culture.
Peace, Tman
 
Well, the Red Thread of Fate ("unmei no aka ito" in Japanese) and the Floating Bridge of Dreams ("yume no ukihashi" in Japanese) are pretty constant throughout Japanese references, particularly in the 11th-12th centuries. I'd suggest looking into the poetry of 11th century women writers like Sei Shonagon, Murasaki Shikibu, and Izumi Shikibu for a start.

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00022354O.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg (WARNING: Kinda suggestive) shows a character from a modern Japanese cartoon-- the string on her left hand is a symbolic representation of the Red Thread of Fate-- which figures majorly in this series (titled Ai Yori Aoshi- "Bluer than Indigo"/"True Blue Love") and keeps appearing.

The Floating Bridge of Dreams appears in the world-famous Tale of Genji, too-though I don't know if that's where it originates. Somehow I doubt it ;)

Let me know if you have any more questions, or if you want more details-- I'd be glad to talk more about it, at least my experiences regarding them.

beautiful interesting stories.

I believe I have karmic connection with one of my friends. When I first saw him I knew he was a very special person and that if I didn't talk to him I would regret it a lot. Finally he's the one who came up to me and we talked a lot as if we talked a lot everyday, no need to introduce ourselves or to ask much questions about each other. It just suddenly felt like a relief, a "I have missed you so much" feeling.
We were really really close that one is obvious. I know we went through a lot together, probably more than 2 lives worth.
Most people tell me comments like: "I have never seen someone being so comfortable with another person like this." or "you two are so beautiful." (and we're not in a relationship or anything.)

Another thing I have realised is that he has always been very protective of me and very concerned, from the first day we met. Comments like "don't overwork yourself" "get some rest alright? I'll make sure no one disturbs you" "are you feeling alright?" "Don't worry, it's going to work out fine" "don't take too much on your shoulders" etc. ..always hugs and always telling me how I can succeed in everything...and he is not like this with everyone at all nor is it like I am a weak person who always gets sick and have a whole lot of a lack of self-esteem. I'm thinking that maybe in another life he saw me die of overwork or a disease of some sort...I don't know...

what do you think?
 
Hello rimbaldienne,

Welcome to the forum :D It's wonderful that you have such a caring person in your life. I believe people that our souls recognize people that we have been with previously and it certainly sounds like you have been a part of eachother's lives before. ;)

Another thing I remember is that once asked to describe our friendship he replied something along the lines of "we have known each other for the longest time." (and I've only met him about 2 years ago.) I never talked about it with him but I think I will...

I also remember this dream I had a couple of times a long time ago of me and a man dancing in a large room. It's very simple but I remember it was very realistic and I woke up with this nostalgic feeling every time. The large room is made of wood and it's empty...I somehow think it was a house that was just built. The room is very bright too; the sun is passing through the windows. It's late afternoon, you know, that time when the sun is just so bright, right before the sunset. And there is me, I don't look like myself at all but it's me, and there's this man..he is wearing green and brown. According to the clothing I would say it's around the turn of the 20th century, but I can't be completely sure. And he is leading me through this simple dance and we're both very content. That's it, no speaking, nothing else. But I always thought this man was my friend, though he looks nothing like him, it just feels like him.
 
Past lives

Hello, Rimbaldienne...

It is wonderful that this person seems to care about you! I feel that your aura extends a good distance away from your physical body. Do you find that people normally like to be around you? I often wonder if our lives touch others in this life because in the next one or other, there will be a closer relationship.

I had...and a female acquaintance had...the feeling that we had had lives together. She saw herself looking after me...we were of a different culture than we are now...actually saving my life. However we are both females in this life and that is all we are...acquaintances...not real friends.

Do you do creative visualization? If you did, you may get some other facts.

Good luck!

Yes, without being egoistic or anything, somehow I know that people like my presence a lot. A few weeks ago I was in class and my friends were teasing each other a lot and somehow they got to me and they said: no, no, we can't tease you. You're virtue. I don't know, I'd like to be like you. And everyone agreed. ...and it kinda made me feel uncomfortable to be called close to perfect. And things of the kind; "Don't worry, everyone likes you. Never heard one single bad thing about you.ever." or "Now I feel like I want to stay awake forever so I can't miss any beauty of this life, and it's because of you. thank you." :confused: I don't see what it is with me, but it seems like others do.

I sometimes have the feeling that I have lived a great many lives too. I don't know, just intuitions.
 
Yes, I believe that we all have a soulmate, in some form or another. I recall my husband of several lifetimes particularly well. I will never know another man quite like him. To have shared so much with one person is difficult to describe. Its as if they are a part of you, a part that without you are not completely whole. True, you may be able to carry on without them, but it is still not the same.​

The man I remember gave me so much. In each life he was different, yet his essence always remained the same. I often find myself missing him. One thing that hasn't changed over time is how we meet. I'm always the hesitant one, unsure about being in a relationship, while he is always quite certain. I even recall several lives where we had an arranged marriage. At the time I was more than a little unhappy about the ordeal, but it always turned out to be a good thing.​
 
Hi Crystal,
I completely understand. I remember a great deal of my past lives and I know whom my soul mate is . I too find it hard to desrcibe what all this person has given to me and done for me. We had a passion like no other. I have yet to find it again ...like the one we shared so long ago.

Soul mates are very powerful. you know the instant they come back into your life..I know I did..

I think you said it perfectly. the person I believe is my soulmate (or more so, the soul I am most closely connected to) I get the same feeling from. I didn't know him that long in this lifetime, and yet, he has had such a huge impact. I feel the same way that you do; it's near impossible to describe! and you aren't really whole without them. Plus, strong memories from other lifetimes help in validation.
 
I do have my own "past love" story, and it's pretty much all on my new website. In short... seeing a spirit (in fancy Renaissance clothing) fixing the covers at the end of the bed when I was 7 years old/dream visitations/coincidences/realizing I've written things into my stories which are Past Life related, only when I wrote those stories I had no clue it was PL related/seeing 1's and 2's on the clocks all the time (soulmate numbers)/etc.

By the way, I can definitely relate to the emotion some of you are talking about. I've felt it after a couple of PL readings and through some dreams. When he comes to me in dreamstate he never speaks and usually just holds me. Even the simplest dream like that can be very depressing. In every one of those dreams I am so madly in love with the man. People are always telling me that's why I'm alone in this life. That I can't "forget" him and don't want anyone else b/c I can't seem to "forget" that life.

Oh! I also had a dream this year where he turned around and just stared at me. I cannot even begin to describe how that felt. It was as if he was staring into my very soul and knew things about me that even I - in this life - don't remember. Yet... that didn't matter to him. There was absolutely no judging coming from him, although I must admit a "stranger" knowing more about me than I do myself felt VERY uncomfortable. Lol!

Well, I've said it before, but I don't know about this whole 'soul mate' thing. But each to her own. I think some people see it all with a touch too much 'romanticism'. I know someone in this life I have known many times before and he certainly makes my spirit dance when we are together, so that is probably what some people would call a 'soul mate'.

When I met him at a party it was like an electric shock and I recognised him instantly. We talked almost non-stop, all night about 'stuff' - mostly fairly high level philosophy, life the universe and everything - and I was instantly smitten. He has certainly tested me out a lot in this life in many ways! It has not been at all easy coming to terms with it. We seem to have managed to work out a workable friendship more like brother and sister these days (after a couple of abortive attempts at a 'relationship'). We certainly get along very well, even though he flatly refuses to believe in reincarnation.

We have never really made a great success as a couple though, at least not that I can recall. In fact, it has ended pretty promptly in tragedy every time. In fact, he seems extraordinarily accident prone and only likes to stick around on earth for a few years at a time. A few examples:

- Killed by jealous husband
- Died of mysterious wasting disease in childhood
- Got head caught in mill wheel also in childhood
- Lost at sea
- Shot down in a plane WWII

Other people are a bit mystified in what I see in him (he is pretty odd) but he just makes me smile and I just love him dearly for no real reason. In fact, he is sitting next to me in this picture of me which I use here, which is part of the reason for the big smile.

He has nearly died three times this life of various serious diseases, but so far he is 'hanging in' and in fact the past year or so his health is reasonably good, so, here's hoping. Perhaps we are going to break the pattern this time. My theory is that I am trying to master 'love without desire' - letting go of the griping fear that he may die at any moment, which seemed irrational to me before I worked all this out, and I think I am there. I feel quite relaxed about it all these days - whatever may or may not happen to him one of these days, I reckon I will take it in my stride. :)
 
I everytime have the feeling that im looking for someone but havent found that person yet,or some strong energy out there but i cant remember, i am mourning each day for the unknown but i feel its there...
 
I know the feeling well MysterySoul. I felt like that very often until I got reacquainted with my good friend (mentioned above). I made a very strong wish one day to find this person and about six months later - voila! Like magic. There he was, walking into a party.

Now I don't feel that any more, even though now I remember various sad things that happened in the past, and it has been very difficult sometimes, I don't feel so very sad because I realise I can see him almost whenever I like, he is alive and well (sort of) and that makes me smile.
 
That sounds wonderful, im happy you found him :) I've met some people who were/are precious to me,i believe i met some in a previous life,but theres still somthing calling me and i dont know what or who...
 
Yes,I had a similar instance when I met a friend of mine years ago,a clear image came into my mind at the time of two people on an iron bridge in very heavy snow,it was fairly late at night 1am and noone was around I recall thinking one was leaving the other.I still really have no explanation for it.Also when I met him he showed me some photos of the area where he lived,I took a guess at where it was and was actually right which was very strange as I had never been to the us.
 
Very Interesting Thread...I have my story too.


I find this thread to be very interesting. I'm a male 33 years old. I have a similar issue. I will try to make this as brief as possible being that it all starts when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade.


When I was in 2nd or 3rd grade I met this girl and fell in love with her right from day one. I was young in grade school. What child knows about love at that young age? I had an indescribable love for this girl and I didn't know why. All through grade school and high school. We were friends in high school, but for some reason I had strong feelinsg for this girl. I was not obsessed with her, but I could not describe the feelings I had for this girl. Everyone knew I liked her. I just never had the guts to ask her out. I dated other girls through my high school years, but no matter what this girl was always still in my mind and heart. After we graduated high school I didn't see her again for 2 years. She was still in my mind after high school. One day we ran into eachother through a group of mutual friends. We started to hang out here and there and before you knew it we were dating. I was in cloud 9!!! I didn't know how it happend, but I was finally with the girl I was in love with all my life. :thumbsup: We dated for 2 years before the relationship eneded :( I was destroyed. I have never felt the heartache with anyone else as I did with her. Ofcourse I moved on and dated other women, but again she was still in my mind. Today, I have a very special woman in my life that I will spend the rest of my life with. I still think about this other woman and often have dreams about her and sometimes her parents. :confused:


After I wake up from the dreams, I have a STRONG feeling that I have had an actual conversation with them in my sleep state wether it be her mother or her. I can't understand this. :confused:


It's been 10 years since our relationship ended and I still have feelings for this woman.


This is the reason why I have decided to do research\study on past lives. I need to understand who this woman is and why my feelings have been so strong for her since I was a young child.


All I want to know is who she is. :confused: Why has my heart\soul not been able to let this go.


One of the things that has me confused is how at such a young age 2nd or 3rd grade can I have indescribable feelings for this female I just met. How much does a child at such a young age understand anything about love? I can't understand it, but I did know what love was. My only explanation to all of this is that something from a previous life with her carried over to this life.


Has this woman been involved with me in past lives? Did I maybe do something wrong to her last time around that I am now paying for? Any suggestions feed back would be very helpful!


I feel a little guilty because I love my current partner very much, but at the same time I still have these thoughts about my X. Is this wrong?


Thanks!
 
@ Military


It's very good possible that you already knew this girl/woman from other lifes. I would say it's probable so. I have a question for you... how old are you when you're sit in the 2nd and 3nd grade? I come from another country with a different school system, so I don't know this.


You said: Did I maybe do something wrong to her last time around that I am now paying for?


What do you mean by that? That you have done anything wrong by her in a past life and that you are punished for it now? Then I would say no. I don't think people are punished for bad things they do in other lifes. I'm certain about that.


I think you've met her before in other lifes and that you were very close to her and loved her such as you do now. When you saw her for the first time your soul recognized her soul by the first second. I think you've been lovers before. And maybe you have had many lifes with her. It's all possible.


I know the feeling of loving someone by the first second. I've seen my lover from a past life last holiday and I loved him from the first second I saw him. I haven't talked to him for a few lifes but I still love him and he is still on my mind everyday. So you're not weird at all if you still love her after ten years.
 
I was between 7 and 9, I don't remember. What I meant by saying did I do something wrong to her meaning did I break her heart some time in past lives, because when we broke up my heart was torn in two. I've had other relationships before but not close to this one. The heartache this break up caused me was traumatic. :(


If we did share past lives before then why would we not be together this time around? I can understand maybe taking a break from eachother, but why doesn't my soul's memory block this out during this lifetime?


If I were to see her now I can't tell her I love her, because I don't. But deep in my heart and soul I do if that makes any scene. :confused:


If I had a regression done this would be one of the questions I would want answered.
 
Hello again.


I love reading all these stories and if you remember I posted a while ago some dreams I had. Anyway, I had another strange dream last night that I can't shake. In my dream I was a teenager and I was in love with another teenager. The whole thing about this dream was we had to keep our relationship secret from our parents. We lived in an apartment building but it was old so there was stairwells Well we would sneak off together and have premarital relations : angel. We did it twice in my dream. Anyway, I know that the teenager in my dream was my husband in this life. Only he didn't look like my husband. But he felt like it and I just somehow knew with absolute certainty it was him.


Anyway, I had alot of brothers and sisters in this dream and we would play sometimes and chase each other through the halls and stairwells of this building. My boyfriend and I would sneak off during these "games" to kiss and make love. It was our cover. In my dream we were completely enamored of each other.


What is funny is that I met my husband rather young at only 15 and he 17 but we have never had any real problems. We are as into each other now as we were at 15 and 17 LOL. Anyway, it was lovely feeling that I had.


In my dream the two teens pretended to not be together in front of other people. I have no idea why but it was a huge deal and an even bigger secret. Our relationship was almost like an obsession.


I visited a pychic about a month ago and she told me that I was currently with my soul mate and that my soul mate also happend to be my twin flame.


She explained a little bit about them both. She said that my soul mate and I have a knack for searching each other out and meeting early in life and that I was an old soul. I just wonder if she was correct in everything she said about my love life. I think that may be why we are so in tune with each other. :thumbsup:


Is it normal for a soul to seek out their soul mate consciously?

What's normal Lady Lania? :) I think, however, that the experience of feeling that there is a 'special someone' out there somewhere is a fairly common one. It is certainly the subject of many movies and songs and poems, is it not? Many people never connect with them, sadly. Many settle for someone else and stop looking. There are as many stories of different variations of this as there are individuals on the planet. You seem to have been very fortunate though. Lucky you! Blessings. I hope you appreciate your good fortune. :)

Only you know the answer to that one Military. It is possible this is some kind of 'pay back'. Or maybe you just both had something to learn about love and how to make it work, simple as that and no need for supernatural explanations? Just because someone is your 'soul mate' does not mean it's all smooth sailing and never having any problems. Often the reverse. Or maybe you made some kind of 'decision' about seeing other people for a change this life time, to see what else might be learned. Perhaps you needed to be with your partner now for various unrelated (or related) karmic reasons to do with your story that you don't fully grasp. Maybe it's just an accident? Who knows? Only you.

If I were to see her now I can't tell her I love her, because I don't. But deep in my heart and soul I do if that makes any sense.
Click to expand...
This depends on how you define love, doesn't it?


The way you describe it, she certainly sounds as though she is someone very special to you from previous lives, however. I would regard it as a blessing that you actually met her and got to spend some time together. Don't worry. You will meet again, if not this life, the next. Nothing is more certain in my opinion.
 
WELL I'VE MET TWO OF MY HUSBANDS THAT I WAS MARRIED TO IN PAST LIVES. HERE GOES


One is name Chris. Him and me were married in 2 past lives. He's 6 yrs older than me. Sadly he was killed 7 yrs ago. We've known eachother for 15 yrs. I went to a SEANCE once ( my first one to ) and Chris came threw VERY strong. He confused that ever since he first saw me he loved me he just never knew how to come out with it ( I was 7 and he was 13 when we first met ) and than he said that he still loves me and that he's around me all the time. I feel him around me he hugs me, holds me, and he gaves me a kiss on the cheek ( excuse my spelling it's bad ) when I'm sad. I have felt that we were together in a past life.


The second one is Joe. Joe and me were together in many past lives. From the first time we seen eachother we fell in love with eachother. I've felt that in one of our lives we lived in a very small cabin, we were just starting out our lives together, we were very poor, but we were happy that we were together. Than in another one I'm a nun and he's a priest but I can't remember the rest. In another life we had a very romatic time at the beach. I remember once I was seating down and all the sudden I remembered from a past life seating down and getting ready to write Joe a very loving letter. Joe's face still looks the same but his hair is much longer in this life.


Them are the only 2 love past life I can remember. Oh and Chris's spirit is STILL around me helping me out and I already know that I'm gonna marry Joe someday. :)


Christopher 1978-2000 Rest In Peace.
 
It's so bitter sweet reading your posts, but at the same time, it shows that love does survive death :D


I have remembered a man from my past lives all my life. I felt lost without him, like I was missing part of me. We were together in my past life (in the 1950's) I died, but I remember being a spirit and watching him grieve for me, it was a horrible experience. I felt so much pain, I still do sometimes, especially when I hear music from that period. Our song from that time is still my favourite song though :D
 
I feel like crying when I think about her. In my past life, she was my only friend. I remembered I loved her dearly, but lost her to another man. I can glare at that other man in the history books. He is extremely famous (more precisely, infamous) I bet all of you know him, but I won't mention him.


She is now at the other side of the world. I actually chatted with her online a year ago. It was very good to know how was she. But alas, I deleted all my friend list in that web.(DOH!)


Oh well, I'll meet her someday but I certainly won't date her in this life! (I'm a girl currently!)


So, now I listen to One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey. Till then, *forever alone*
 
My soulmate and I have spent many lives together. This time we were separated and found each other decades later. He was my obsession for a very long time, and I was his. I am still his obsession, I think. Problem is, he is toxic to me in this lifetime. He had quite a hold over me for a very long time, but that is over now.


Sometimes not getting what you want can be a very good thing. I saw that on a sign once. It fits here.


He is way into the friend zone now. Well, maybe not even in the friend zone. Perhaps he is in the tolerate zone. Yeah, that's it.


I think he was to teach me tolerance of buttheads in this lifetime :D
 
I have discovered this forum only a few days ago and there is so much to read, so much to learn, so many feelings inside that stir when I see there are so many people with similar experiences. I thought I was the only one but it seems a wide door has opened for me to see it's not all an illusion.


I have been always interested in past lives, but I don't seem to remember much of them. The main reason for me being here looking for answers is that old feeling I had since I was 9 or 10, of a deep emptiness and loneliness, and the thought I might have lost someone very dear, someone who I thought didn't exist in reality, only in my mind.


It's strange to know my feelings are not uncommon and many of you talk about soulmates that come and go in your different lives, but somehow they're always with you. When I was younger I just called this person "my ideal mate" and I used to look for him in everyone. Not that I've found him yet. I really think I won't in this life, and through the years I've come to understand it's something much greater and deeper than that, the intensity of that missing someone proves it, and reading books about regressions I thought of him as being in my group of souls. The things I'm reading now in this forum reassures me that's the truth and it's so great to feel I'm closer to know who he really is.


I wish I could know more about him, about our past lives together, why we had to part ways for a while, maybe it's only for us to grow, but I'm only at the beginning of that long long way. But at least now I know he's real and I must trust my feelings.


Thank you all for sharing your experiences!
 
I am hoping to run into my past life wife, Luise. I loved her very much, despite everything. Am curious what has happened to her though.
