      dreams = past lives?

      Last night, while attempting a WILD to go to sleep, I started to feel really strange. Like I was being flooded by these powerful emotions. I was so close to getting into that final "stage" or whatever, so I tried to focus and just let it happen, but these feelings started to intensify. I started to feel extremely sad and lonely... just a very strange and random emotion to feel while WILDing. It felt like my throat got tight... kinda like when you're crying or getting upset... my stomach felt like this endless pit that my heart was falling through... like I'm on some nauseating roller coaster.

      Eventually, I started to cry really hard and this made me snap out of my WILDing moment. I felt extremely strange. Almost like something was channelling it's emotions through my body... like I'm some sort of outlet.

      Now get this.... later that night, I had a lucid dream. I dreamt I was in some burnt, run down, ghetto little factory... and I was looking for a bathroom.

      I meet this girl... a young blonde girl, around the age of 17... and I asked her where the bathroom was. She told me to follow her, so I did. She led me through what seemed like a really big maze, before finally arriving at a door. As I went inside, I realized the bathroom was VERY nice inside!! Like something you would see inside a nice hotel, not some ghetto factory. This immediately caused me to think "Could this be a dream?" and I instantly became lucid after having this thought.

      Since I'm not very experienced, I thought I'd try looking in the mirror to strengthen my awareness in this dream. I looked in the mirror, and saw myself. I tried to stare at myself, because I heard that your face might change or something. So while I'm starring, the blonde girl comes and asks "Do you want to see something different?" I looked at her, not sure by what she meant, and she smiled and left the bathroom. When I looked back at the mirror, I saw my face starting to change... I got younger... and younger... and younger... and finally, these little burn marks started to appear on my face and skin. Like I was really sunburned or something. Then, my reflection in the mirror said "Don't look at me like that. It wasn't my fault." This really freaked me out, so I left the bathroom, and tried to see if I could pop up in some different place.

      Unfortunately, every method I tried to relocate myself failed. I eventually went back out to the factory area, where I saw the blonde girl again. "Am I dreaming? How do I leave this place?" I asked her. "You are not dreaming. And you have been here before. I'm sure you'll find something here... you don't need to leave," she said to me. I started to feel a little uncomfortable... I asked her to clarify her statement for me. She comes up to me and pulls up her sleeve, exposing severe burn marks all over her skin. "You have these too. You were my best friend," she said.

      This really freaked me out for some reason, and I started to walk away from her. She followed me, but not very closely... kinda like she was just making sure I wasn't getting lost. I eventually encounter a bunch of small children... all around 5-10 years old... and they all seemed to be weeping softly. There was an overwhelming sense of sadness and loneliness in the room. It felt so powerful... like it was consuming me... became a part of me...

      Eventually, I lost lucidity and forgot the rest of the dream. I woke up feeling very hot all over my body... sweating... and then I began to wonder if maybe that could be a possible fate of one of my past lives?? Could I have been some little girl inside a factory when it got burnt down?

      It definately ranks up there in one of the most bizarre dreams I've ever had. Could those emotions I felt before I fell asleep be their last minute feelings that they were channelling through me?? I just felt so strange after waking up.

      Anyone ever have dreams like these?

      Wow that dream sounds incredible!

      I don't think it was an image of a past life, it was just a very effective dream.


      I know what you mean by dreams channelling emotion, I have had this before too.

      I think it depends on if you believe in past lives or not, and how you wish to view that dream.

      It does sound very intense though. Perhaps you may try to meet that girl again and see if there are any happier times she can share with you; since she said you two were best friends, and best friends usually make good memories.

      It could be a past life related sort of thing, but in most cases, I find that very odd/interesting dreams are often your subconscious mind's way of trying to alert you to something that you need to address. I had a dream that I was going to die in 24 hours once. I took that to mean that was my minds way of saying "hey you're not doing anything with your life, appreciate it more" or something along those lines.

      I think of the subconscious mind as its own animal. I think it can think completely independantly of the conscious mind even though most of the time it may not. Just something to think about. But very interesting dream indeed

      I've had dreams were I die and to get to heaven I must pass a tests, but I usually pass, one time I wasmoving through hell, I heard voices screaming in pain and I couldn't find myslef to look. Those dreams seem like something more....maybe a vision?Maybe a message. Same in your case.

      Wow really cool dream, I love when I get ones like that. They really make you think. I don't really believe that it was a past life, probably just a normal dream that you remembered in great detail. Alot of dreams are vivid and weird like that but I think we just don't remember them. Lucid dreams are easier to remember usually because you experienced it all while paying attention to what was happening.

      The idea of past lives is simply silly.

      And it simply could have been, you know, a dream. Not every dream is filled with meaning, even if they are very powerful images.

      hey some time ago, i all of a sudden found myself in somekind of waggon pulled by horses. The interior was very 1800 -something type or maby earlier. I was holding hands whit a group of kids forming a circle in the seats and realised that i also was a child figure. They all looked at me with boath sadness and relief in there eyes and it was so super realistic that i asked them if i had actually died and left my body. One of them replied " yes sort of" "its only temporaly" and i felt as if id been lost for thousends of years true space and time finaly reaching a safe shore. I looked at there faces and felt as if they where my brothers and sisters and there was such an overwelming feeling of happiness that it was amazing even for a lucid dream. They asked me if i was ok and how my life was at the moment and i repiied with honesty that everything was just fantastic! i was so happy to see they were ok and i felt as if the rawest core of my entity had blossomed. We stroled along in this waggon trough a misty grey northern (maby somewhat english ) european landscape crying and bonding untill they said godbay for now..
      I woked up feeling great and refreshed with some tears in my eyes.

      About the mirror in your dream: next time a mirror occures in your dream try putting your hand trough the surface of the mirror! i once did this and the mirror started wobling in a way simular to rings forming when a stone is thrown in a body of water. This display was the matrix times 1 000 000 take care!

      AWESOME DREAM! I'm not really good at interpretation but I think that this was just a normal dream but highly emotional. Or it could be something or someone trying to contanct you... No idea.

      Dream Kitten,
      Have you ever meditated before? The girl in your dream was an Ally. She was there to help and protect you during your Journey.

      If you meditate with the intent of contacting her, or practice reaching out to her in other dreams, I think you'll find that she comes more and more often. the more you get to know her, the easier it will be for you to reach her in an awake, meditative state.

      Don't be afraid of her. She's there for you.
      Be yourself - everyone else is taken.

      WOW thats amazing,

      why don't you try and look things up, like maybe a factory fire, just a little google search might lead you somewhere.


      I wish something like that would happen to me.

      A lot of my dreams tend to be very emotional. Ever since I was little, I had tons of nightmares. They became more and more vivid as I got older. I don't get them as often now... they're actually quite rare these days... but oh man, when I get a nightmare, it is so freakin sick and realistic. I don't know if theres some mean spirit tormenting my sleep or I'm just messed up in the head. But thats why I tried to get into lucid dreaming in the first place. Although, as soon as I realize I am having a night mare, I don't try to become lucid and change it, I just force myself awake.

      Maybe dreams are fragments of past lives, lets say we all keep the same soul which stores our past lives infomation and at night it has chance to release some infomation. who knows

      Hi kitten, you should really face your nightmares and not continue to run away (wake up) from them. I used to be like you, since a little kid, lots of hyper-realistic nightmares, until I realised I could beat them. When I was falling, I learned how to fly; when I was being chased, I learned not be afraid of my stalker and stopped to face it - and they usually go from menacing to absolutely lovely; when there's any type of monster, I either learned how to dissolve it and make it disapear or to send out so much love that they become like... kittens! ahaha Please don't be afraid, stay there and face it with no fear and lots of love. You will feel liberated!
      About your dream that could be from past life - I also have those kind of dreams, but usually I take them as something else, not a past life - because I have other types of dreams that are clear memories from past lives and they are straightforward, not dream-like encrypted. More like a movie, with a perfect script, no absurdities, no inconsistencies, and you are really in the body of this "person" from the past, be it woman or man, tall or short, blond or brunette and when you look in the mirror you're "them". Also many times you receive information like names of people, names of places, a perfect picture of some specific place - things that you can then look up to confirm the story.
      But it could be different for every person. And I don't rule out that these kind of dreams, like the one you had, could actually be a 1st contact with a past life. If you don't recall it in its entirety, you come to know about it as it creeps in through symbolic dreams. It's a real possibility.

      The problem with past lives theory aka reincarnation is that there are mOre people on earth now than 50 years ago and how would that be possible if we died and came back the population would hover at a set number...believe whatever u want about death it doesn't matter once ur dead you'll be fucking dead forever
      Shoot me in the heart, I want to feel death take me.
