Europe: general

*
4.  I was a whore in some European city.  France? England?  I was kind of pretty and had some brains, too.  A much older man picked me up and actually took me to his home to live.  He was a radical thinker, and he believed that women were equal to men and that women should enjoy sex.  I think he saw marriage as evil, and I think I disagreed with him on that point.  He was well-off and very educated.  He educated me.  I remember at first it was all about the money for me and the sex for him, but we actually ended up loving each other -- he was surprised by my mind and I was surprised by his good heart, I think.  His social circle was scandalized by our relationship, but his money protected us.  I remember he was very worried about what would happen to me when he died.  He was really older than me . . .40 years even.  He made all these arrangements for me to go live in another country when he died, away from anyone who knew about us.  I remember feeling agony when he died.  And I remember walking in fields with two or three dogs later, in my new country, and missing him so much.

i think this dream i had was about one of my past lives.  i was a little girl running in a circle with a bunch of other little kids. right next to us was a pyre filled with bodies.  we were singing the song "Ring around the rosy pocket full of posy..." i remember the smell of burning flesh and the feeling of the atmosphere. it was horrible. i asked my mother about this and she said it could have been during the pandamic flu epidimic in the u.s. during 1918, or that it could have been the during the bubonic (spelling?) plague

    I'm 19 yrs old now and have been deeply involved with druidic rites and the celtic culture since i was 14. I keep having this weird dream where i am in a grove chanting with other people. I only get small glimpses of this past life, i've even had an experience when i woke up after this dream and saw i was in forest, though as soon as i blinked the image disappeared. My friends and family have commented on numerous times that i seem to have a healing touch. i firmly believe that in a past life i was a druid that healed people. thank you for such a great venue for my dream, as this is the first time i have ever told anyone.

    I'm not quite sure if this is a memory, or just a fantasy, or something made up, but one night i was thinking about the medieval times and this vision came to me. i was sitting on a hill, by a manor, with a boy with dirty brown hair and brown eyes and we were kissing. I was wearing a brown dress, or skirt, like made of wool, i think. I also remember the town and people walking, but no specific faces. i have always loved medieval times, and i simply adore boys with brown hair and brown eyes now. do you think this could be a past life experience? -Jem

    I remember one night I had this dream that I was living in a cottage with four sisters and my mother and father, I was the middle child. My home was hidden in the forest, I remember running through the forest wearing a gold colored dress (very lady-like). My hair was black and curly as it is now, I do believe i was twelve years old at the time. I also remember sitting by a river looking at it and just thinking, my sisters would search for me a good deal of time. But they figured i would be near water so they found me at the lake. From other things i remember, my mother practiced good magick and taught my sisters and i. My mother was beautiful in this past life dream, she had long curled dark hair and a soft lovely voice...and the name she called me by it was "Diana". She would wear long white dresses all the time, my mother. As for my father he practiced magick as well, and he was also a great man, with straight dark brown hair. I always try to remember my dreams, they all feel so real, like when i'm out on a sunny day i would feel the sun on my face, or when i was touching the river water i would feel the water. Truly i feel this all really happened because i never stop thinking of my past mother, i love her too much to think she is just a dream. - Tatiana

    I don't have the dreams anymore, but when I was younger I used to dream of being on a battlefield. There was lots of blood, and I saw everything through a red and golden haze. There were men all around me wearing hats similar to those viking hats you imagine with the horns on either side. I'm not sure that I was actually part of the scene, or whether I was observing it all from afar. I had this dream quite a few times when I was younger, always the same. although I am young (only 13), there have been nights when i wake up from a dream that's all too real, and then i ask myself "was it just a dream?".
    one dream i had took place sometime long ago, before computers or cars or canals, when people still lived in castles.  i remember a summer day going down a dirt road in some sort of carriage; i looked to my side and saw a man standing by the side of the road, just standing there, and when i saw him i knew him as someone from my present life (a dear friend).  then later in my dream i find myself with that man, we are in a large room, with two windows so that the room was very airy and sunlit.  i remember leaning out one window to speak to someone waiting below, and i almost fell but the man caught me. as he stood by the window, we heard shouts and the door to the room flew open.  three strangers, male, strode in and one of them grabbed me while the other two grabbed my friend.  he put up a struggle and his nose bled, but he was shoved out the window and i couldn't catch him.  then i remember being thrown to the ground and being kicked in my face....i wake up screaming and hearing a "crunch" in the front of my head.  this is terrifying to me, i feel like i really experienced that.
*
    I always see myself as a VIKING WARRIOR, but  as a women , I have a problem with that. I see a white horse, male warrior, with the viking horns, etc. it is me.

    I have had two re-occuring dreams which I feel to be past lives because I know its me who I'm seeing.  In the first one, I am a young girl, about 7, 8, or 9 years old and it appears to be in England or Scotland where I'm working in a pub serving drinks.  I feel as though it is the mid 1800's.   In the second dream, I see a glimpse of a street that appears to be in Eastern Europe.  It is cobblestone and the buildings are old and lined one against another.   I get the feeling that it is around the time of World War II. Then, I am inside one of the buildings, in a room that appears to be my home. The floors are made of wood and I am a woman who is bent over a baby that is in a crib which is close to the ground.  There seems to be another woman in the room.  That is all I can remember but I would like to find out more.

    When I was sixteen years old, I asked my boyfriend's mother (known to see people's previous lives) to help me look into mine.  I closed my eyes and she held my hand, while I suddenly started seeing things.  Like my own eyes, which were purplish in color.  I was the governess of a Duke's son.  I'm not exactly sure when this was. . . what century. I know it was quite scary to see myself die after falling off of a horse, while trying to save the young boy who had run out into a violent storm. I was scared, but I wish I could remember more. -Faerie Moon Child

    I was from europe, a caucasian, as i saw myself while astral projecting to the past-- I fell from a cliff and that is how i died, but i love heights. maybe i wanted to die b4.  - Jason

<>Castles

    I would like to share with you a vidid dream ive had that takes place in a tower or castle. There is a battle going on and the castle walls will soon be breached. There are soilders shooting down below and hot fire like molten being poured down on the attackers but its not enough. Im running up towards a man in chain mail with a brown beard and scruffy hair. Hes shouting orders and he shoves a message in my hand. Its extremely important I get out of the castle and deliver it or else the battle will be lost  and we will all die. I feel like im in disguise so no one will know who I am, that the enemy wont know. I know the message important and hurry down a lit corridor. Torches light the walls and I hear my own breath. I quickly run down a flight of stairs they spiral round, the walls are cold and the stone  echoes with footsteps. Suddenly I know im not alone and fall to the ground as an immense pain  goes through me. I think ive been stabbed and see vauge shadows of a man leaning over me. Hes saying something, I think he wants to take the message and I know ive failed, and all goes black.
    Ive had the last part of my dream play over and over and believe that it was how I died. I have the feeling I was in disguise and was a key to winning the battle but failed. It may sound odd, this is one dream that has been constantly in my mind for years. I had it as a very young child. After the dreams or when I was thinking I would feel like I was looking out from inside. Like I was someone else and knew nothing of this time and  place like my body was a shell and I was someone else looking out through the shell's eyes.
    My father also was hypnotised and started talking with another man's voice. He said he was a soilder on a horse and in a fierce battle. He had just killed someone by chopping off their head when he himself suffered the same fate and died. My mother was very scared at the time as he had another person's voice and expressions. Thank you for taking the time to read - Nio

    I also remember seeing an image of a woman standing by what appears to be the window of either a castle or a keep. She is wearing a pale dress, and though it does not appear to be white, I cannot tell the color--possibly a light pink or lavender. She has very long reddish-brown hair and flowers woven into a kind of long snood that doesn't pull her hair up, but wraps around and contains it. It is light outside the window and she appears to be waiting for something or someone, as I feel I am now. I get the feeling that this is to be her wedding, as the image was superimposed upon that of royal weddings I have seen in video. This may have been coincidence, but then again, it may not have been.

    In my dream, i'm sitting on the shore of a small lake by a large stone castle, i'm 13 or 14 in the dream, the age that i am now, the dream takes place in the middle ages, then i can hear someone calling me but i can't see them. i have a brown dog with me, and he looks worried, i hear people screaming, i get up, i look up and see my mother, she is yelling to me, telling me to get away, i don't know why, but i start to run, then the dream fades and i wake up, every time i watch a movie that takes place in the middle ages, i can hear the screams that i hear in my dream

  I have lived many times, although I think in this life I have missed a connection somewhere.  In one past  life recollection I am walking through an enormous house.  I know it is in France but I am not sure of the  exact year.  Everything and every room is extremely familiar to me.  There are portraits of people I do not  know and yet I do.  I walk into a room and a young man is standing there, he is dressed in a morning suit of approximately the Victorian era.  He says to me "I'm so glad that you are home.  I've been waiting such a long time for you.  Please don't go away like that again".
  how many questions can one have about one's life in the here and now and at times understanding life and it's purpose so clearly.  i'm overwhelmed with a sense of sensitivity but too scared to trust in my thoughts and senses. what is my destiny? i have so many dreams asleep and wide awake but the sleepy ones that i like the best because they really do make more sense. your web site gave me the chills and a strange sense that i opened yours for a reason. at times there is such a panic in trying to understand and yet the fear of knowing who i am or was takes over and sucks the life out of me. i have memories of places and i have a love for things in the past as if they could speak to me like antique furniture telling stories.
    i remember being about 8 yrs old living in austria at the time and yes this is the truth and we always went on sunday drives to some castle or museum and at least one of us would get carsick. so this sunday was no different and at that age i had no idea as to where we where going to end up only to find that i knew this place like it was my home. it was a ruined castle and no i do not remember the name or location only that once we got there i remember wanting to go to the pond to see the ducks and even at that age i knew i had been there before. there were no ducks visible from the castle grounds and parking lot but i knew that past that little hill i would find the pond and the ducks.
    my mom and sister were a bit stunned that i knew this as i knew my way around the entire place and i  swore to my family that we had been there before.  no one in my family had been there before and so strange that i feel like i had been there many times and i never forgot that odd sense which is now some 28 yrs ago. i've also returned to this place in my dreams and the ducks are always there. i had the same thing happen when i was 14 yrs old and we had moved to ontario canada. looking to buy a house we ended up in this old brick victorian and i felt like i had come home. imagine leaving your home land at the age of 14 yrs with your parents and younger sister and from the time you were told you were going you would be happy to leave 5 older sisters and a brother behind. well i was happy to be going because something pulled me to go there . i was going home.
      i am confused and scared about such things and do not not know how to trust  in them. i have a purpose here but i seem to be so slow in reacting well not sure if this will be of interest to you or anyone else but i needed to say it to someone. listening or not i know that i have to do this to move ahead and if only i had words to describe what i felt when i opened your pages and scanned through your words. it wasn't a chill that passed through me it seemed to surround me and compel me to write down my thoughts. imagine what i felt when i open the past lives thing chose europe and austria came up . it was like hint after hint ...  while i'm at it i might as well tell you about my first dog...cooper. it was love at first sight between him and me. he was beautiful, regal and elegant.
and he loved me with all his might and on our weekend naps together i would wake up and find him watching over me with a look of such absolute love for me in his eyes, so human like he was my fairy tale prince and i was his cinderella. he's gone now but he was here to help me get through some tough times and i know he is waiting for me - Pam
