Lucidity in and out + past life
Greetings.
In the year 2000 I had been experiencing a few solid lucid dreams. My dream journal (mostly non-LD) was full and I was having some interesting experiences with OBEs as well.
Anyways, one day during a mid-afternoon nap, I had the following dream which seemed to bounce in and out of lucidity:
I entered the dream state lucidly and was standing in front of an English class that was taking place in an outside market in S. Korea.
The students (numbered about 15) were actual Korean students who I had taught in the past (earth time).
A student raised his hand and when I called on him, he held up a picture of a Westerner's face and said, "You must find him."
I began to question the student, but my body began levitating and I felt a suction pulling me through the market. I stopped resisting and found myself floating through the many faces (all Korean) that made up the market place.
Eventually I spotted the Western face I had been instructed to find and on approach found myself uncertain of what to say. (not lucid)
I blubbered out, "Hi,..I''m supposed to find you for something....(?)"
"Yes," he immediately said, "She is very near."
"Who is she?" I stammered - but my body had already gained air again and was being pulled back towards the makeshift classroom at the center of the market.
This sequence continued on and on again. Each time a different student raised his/her hand, showed me a picture of a different Westerner and every time the Westerner said something mysterious about this "female."
"She is close by." "She will meet with you." She is excited to see you," and so on. (mostly lucid but non-controlling)
Eventually after nearly all of the students had had a chance at sending me off to meet some strange westerner, the last party informed me, "She is right downstairs," pointing towards an underground shop, of sorts."
My body indicated freedom, so I walked down the stairs (lucid again) and began searching a very dark, dank and musty basement-like structure with multiple rooms.
I felt a tug on my pant leg and when I looked down I was met with the most adorable almond eyes on an Arab-looking young girl's face. She was smiling and radiant despite her tattered clothing, no shoes and dirt patches appearing on her body.
I knelt down and picked her up in my arms.
I felt a very intense fliow of love between the two of us and managed to ask.
"Who are you?"
She replied matter-of-factly and sweetly, "I am you and you are me."
And I awoke.
That one made the dream journal all right. :)
Not only do I feel certain that I met one of my past lives, but this experience gave more credence to the idea that world travelers are often re-visiting regions where they've lived before in their past lives.
