Hi there
I am very new here so hi? Where do I start.
As a child at the age of 4-5 I began having what was diagnosed as night terrors. I had a loving family and a normal childhood, wonderful actually. I would have pretty much the same dream of a man standing in the shadows who then attacks and murders me. This was quite a problem as you could imagine and I began at this stage to live my life fearful and full of anxiety, my parents were very concerned how my mind could be filled with such stuff at that age. This is where it gets weird, when I was eight years old I awoke in the middle of the night to find a man standing over my bed, he tried to kidnap me from my bed, I screamed and he dropped me down where my dad ran yelling trying to help me, this is very true, the police were called there were clear signs of the break and enter and I had to look at mug shots at the police station. This made me worse the dreams were more vivid I was fearful and full of anxiety and continued in therapy. My dream contunied but as I got older there was another element added to it not only was there a man in the shadows who murdered me with a knife ( I did not mention b4 sorry), but he raped me aswell, I was 12 when the dream changed to this it was random and I was in no way sexually active and was never abused and never watched anything on tv like this my parents were quite strict with what we watched. I lived in the most wonderful home with my parents and two sisters. The incident with the break in shook up the familiy and I was obviously not the same, at the age of 14 we moved to a smaller state that was well known for its low crime etc!!!
My dream of being raped and murdered continued through out my life, certain things would trigger my dream, now at the age of 31 here I am, but there is more.
in 2006 when I was 27 after 6 months after leaving my emotional abusive husband, he broke into the house I was renting ( I did not even know he knew where I lived as I tried to hide from him) he raped and assalted me and left me there injured. To cut a long story short, I developed an alcohol dependency (Have not had a drink for 19 monthes and four days) diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder ( which was probably what I also suffered from as a child) lots of therapy and getting there.
I recently went to have energy healing, I was told I was a total mess due to trauma, we have been working on it but apparantly there is still more, I do feel better than ever. To cut another long story short I think in my past life I was brutally raped and murdered and lived with fear and memories of it since I could remember, but it all happened again without the murder obviously, can one relive past life, I want to understand, should I do past life regression??? I am the only one in my family that has had any trauma like this or lived with fear and anxiety since birth. I was 2 months premature baby Ialso I feel this is linked... I just need some answers do I need to somehow break the cycle of this happening so this life does not keep repeating itself Help me I am a novice who has done some reading and had an amazing energy healing experience that seems to have started me on this journey
Help advice????

Dear Toni - welcome to the forum :)


I'm so sorry to hear of your traumatic experiences :( It is good that you're getting professional help dealing with them and that you are feeling better.


From what you write it sounds as if a traumatic past life event has influenced your current life. With all the things you've gone through it's hard for me to say what is past life related and what is not though. It is interesting though that the nightmares began long before any of the current life traumas happened, which could indicate that it was a past life trauma. A past life regression may give you some more perspective in dealing with your traumas, it can be part of the healing process, but I think it's important to stress in your case that it shouldn't substitute a 'regular' therapist. I see past life regression and healing as a tool, not a remedy :)


As to events repeating themselves, I think opinions differ on that. Personally, I think that there is enough chance in each life that the probability of repeating events is very low. However, I do believe that patterns can repeat themselves and through past life regression you may realize these patterns, which is the first step toward breaking them.


:thumbsup:
 
thanks


Hi there


Thanks for your perspective. I am certainly not embarking on this to "fix" me I am and have left that to preofessional therapy and my amazing energy healing. I just have a nagging feeling there is more to it and as you say it is unusal I would have these memories as a young child. Thanks

Hi Toni, welcome to the forum :)


I'm sorry to hear about your troubled life, but also glad that you seem to be on the road to recovery.


I agree with Sunniva, and I don't believe that 'events' repeat themselves lifetime after lifetime. If you were murdered in your past life, that doesn't mean that the same will happen to you in this life, and the next and so on.


I think the reason why you are the lone person in your family to be reliving these memories is because your death was a traumatic one. There seems to be a higher percentage of people who remember a traumatic death, then those who remember a peaceful one.


Sunniva mentioned 'patterns' repeating themselves, and I agree with this. Usually you remember your past lives because something from the past remains unresolved, some issue. I don't believe the attempted kidnapping, and the attack by your ex husband are related in any way to your past life murder, but the universe does work in mysterious ways. Look at how those traumatic events in this life have led you to address the issues of your past life by seeking therapy, healing .... even this forum. So, some good has emerged from the bad hasn't it? :)


If there IS a cycle to be broken here, then sometimes just facing it can be enough, as if your soul 'knows' what to do, even if you consciously don't. I think a past life regression could add to your healing and you can do this either alone, or with a qualified therapist, plus of course, we are here to help and advise you with that if you need it.


Hope you find this place helpful, and please keep letting us know how you're getting on.

Hi there Chris


Thanks for sharing with me, that makes a lot of sense and I guess I do feel like there is unfinished business and beleive that is why I find myself here, for in terms of everything else I am well or I would not be even able to embark on this. I have never even been someone who has had an interest in this area so I do beleive I wa led to follow a process in some way, I might sit and mull it over for a while, but I do feel I need to some way finish what if it is off.


Cheers

I too would like to express my sadness for what you have endured. It sounds like you are on the right track in getting help and I am so happy for you that you are building a successful recovery from your addiction.


I also grew up in a wonderful family and yet sufferred horrible nightmares at a very young age...in fact they are some of my earliest memories and part of the reason I have looked into past life trauma. My memories were of being stabbed in the neck. I think it is wonderful you are actively seeking and wish you best of luck. I look forward to hearing where this goes for you. Please keep us posted. Best thoughts, wishes and prayers to you:-)
 
Hey there


Thanks for sharing that, it seems very strange to me to hear people express sadness for what I have endured I have never felt like that. I do plan on goin gto see someon ein my area about past life regression. Where i am today is the only thing that plays on my mind now is my first memories of these dreams as a child beofre anything ever happened to me and I am intrigued. I will definately keep you all posted on my journey

Hi Toni!


You should know that many men, like myself, are left speechless and frustrated that you, or any woman, can be left so utterly vulnerable and victimized by the bottom-feeders of our gender. As a child I always felt powerful enough to protect myself and my mother. In fact, one of my earliest memories included the time I attacked my father's right leg after he made my mother cry. I suffered little for it compared to the satisfaction that I made him stop. May you forever feel such protection in your life. There are such men out there.
 
Toni S, I just couldn't pass by your thread without expressing my sympathy for all you have gone through. I think you are very brave not only to deal with what has happened to you in this life but also to be willing to go back and deal with whatever happened to you in past lives as well.


Past life regression has been very helpful for me in dealing with patterns I have discovered in my life. I have been learning a lot about myself and gaining a lot of healing and confidence. I don't know if that would be the case for you but it seems that it would be worth exploring your past memories. In addition to identifying negative patterns it might also be useful to you if you could find some beautiful memories as well. It can be very reassuring to remember experiences of love and beauty from hundreds of years ago. I wish you the most healing and beneficial experiences possible.
 
Nightrain1, your post is so incredibly beautiful. No child should have to protect his mother but how brave and noble of you that you did.
