Believers in reincarnation please...

As the title implies, I'm looking for input from those who believe in Reincarnation and past-life regression experience.

If you don't, move along citizen - there's nothin' here for ya. I'm not interested in being told I'm a crackpot or fruitcake or that my beliefs are wrong or faulty. I know what I know and understand exactly the implications of what I've experienced in the past. I don't need or want to discuss the veracity of the concept of reincarnation or communication with the deceased. So if you're one of those types who gets their jollies making other people wrong go do it in another thread.

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here's my situation:

I've been having Lucid Dreams for a couple of years. I've been an apprentice Shaman for about a year and for about the last six months have been having LDs in which I'm communicating with and helping continue the journey of those who have died.

Last night I had a particularly powerful LD. It was one of the most lucid dreams I've had to date. I was completely aware and in control both of my intent and environment.

My intent in this dream was to connect with family members and friends who have crossed over and do a conscious "check-in" with them.

I did.

I connected with two of my most favorite dogs that have crossed over. They came to me as puppies and we romped around like a pack of kids for about an hour. I connected with two deceased friends from High School and it was like we were when we were in school together. The same camraderie, friendship and interconnectedness.

I also connected to my father and my older brother. We had a great connection and they affirmed for me several things that I've been questioning myself about. The love and warmth was amazing and again, one of the most powerful and positive things I've felt in a dream up to this point.

I was also helping someone else connect to their deceased relatives. This person was not dead. In fact, they were very alive and in desparate need of the connection I helped them make. Here's where it gets a little different for me:

In the dream, I knew this person but in this life I don't. I've never met her and have no idea who she is. So far as I know, none of the people I was close to in High School have crossed over yet. And one even stranger thing; I was an only child until I was 12 - I became the oldest of 6, but again oldest; I don't have any older siblings and at least as of last week when I last talked to him, my dad was still alive. Lastly, my dream dad and brother were both Jewish. I'm not.

I know that the entities I connected to last night were my father and older brother. I know that I connected to dear, close friends who have crossed over and I know that that the individual I was helping is alive in this time in this world.

I have never directly experienced anything close to a connection with a previous life of mine so far as I know. So, I'm looking for thoughts and input from those who have to see if it makes sense that what I experienced was a connection to those who were related to me in a previous incarnation.

Thoughts anyone?

i wouldnt go so far as to say i believe in reincarnation but there is definitely evidence to support it,

the evidence could also support the idea of a collective conciousness, that everyone has the memory of everyone, which could explain the evidence, but im sure neither are completly correct,

i dont think there is one rule for everyone, im sure there are many paths after death...

i dont know what to say about your experiences, you state them so matter of fact when it is so not normal

, i cant argue with shamans though, they know their stuff

how did you come to be an apprentice shaman?

I guess it might be possible but yeah theres no scientific explanation yet... so I'm not sure, but I am sure it is one of the possibilities, so you might as well keep your mind open to it, it's an aspect of the ultimate goal of lucid dreaming anyway, to stay lucid through all experiences, so wether it's possible or not, I think advanced lucid dreamers might have a good chance to reincarnate if it's possible :p

Btw what is the evidence you're talking about? I have read about Tulkus, but is this proven to be true? I'm also very interested in shamanism, because it seems to be the science of the dreamworld, I don't think I can find any shaman near where I live to be my teacher tho

I'm reading Carlos Castaneda's book atm,very interesting..

hm no specific evidence comes to mind, but there are many examples from what i remember, if you do a search on google plenty should come up

alot of them is where children of a very young age, have detailed and accurate memories of past families, their past homes, how they died etc etc

some other evidence is where you can be put in a trance, and you are taken back through to when you were in your mothers womb... then further back to a life before,

there are many types anyway, how reliable the evidence is a case by case thing, some are very good, some are not,

One of the things I've developed in my apprenticship is an unquestioning faith in what my Guides and Benefactors tell me and in my experiences in the Dreamtime. When one travels with the intent and purpose to do so in the Dreamtime, one experiences Truth. Therefore, if I'm lucid in a Dream and operate with the intent to experience Truth, regardless of how bizarre that Truth may seem to me, it IS Truth. Where we stumble is the interpretation of that Truth. Thus my question.

A close friend of mine, who was far more esoteric than I ever was, met a student of Castaneda's at a seminar. This individual was a Chief in the Lakota Tradition and a practicing Shaman in his own right. My friend became a student of his and related much of her experience to me. What she was experiencing was so similar to my own Path, that I decided to check the guy out and did a Journeying (Astral Projection/OBE) workshop with him. The experience was so impactful that I comitted to be his student and learn the Art as best I was able.
