    I had never thought of reincarnation until now.  I recently met my father's side of the family, i was 3 the last time I saw my aunts and uncles and now I am 26.  Well, I met all my cousins and my feelings for them were very indifferent except for one of my cousins.  From the moment i saw him and he saw me we felt a very strong connection.  My aunt told me she noticed that we looked at each other in a different way.  When we talked it felt like we knew the feelings of one another, we have the same beliefs, the same tastes in colors, food, music, well just about anything.  The month of my birth is the day of his and his B-day is my birth month.  And the strange thing is that my favorite number is my b-day and his favorite number is his birth month.  coincidence?  i just don't know what to think now.  This feelings are mutual and are very strong.  Now, things that we talk about are like "deja vu" to me.  Now, I am starting to believe that we must have had a strong relationship in our past life and that we have found each other. - claudia

I am not an only child, but as my brothers and sisters were all much older than me, I felt that I grew up as one. As I grew up, I has lots of friends, got married, had babies, got divorced, but through all of this, there was something missing, that I could not put my finger on. Something just didn't feel right. I put it down to plain old life dissatisfaction, and wondered how many other people were feeling the same. When I was 29 I went through a difficult time in my life, and a friend suggested hypnotherapy. I was lucky to find a very nice lady, who gently helped me through the problems I was having, and who asked if I would like to try regression, which I did. At
first I said, "There's nothing there. I see nothing" but she asked "Is it night? Is it dark?" And I remember smiling as I realized that was right. As my eyes became accustomed to the dark I found myself to be sitting in a henhouse. My hands reached out and I found eggs, which I cradled in my hands. The chickens were making a lot of noise, and a voice said, "Someone's coming." Next, I and someone else are running through dark woods, the eggs I think are broken, the grass is wet beneath my feet. The next thing I see is I as standing by a river. There are two people with me. One is a woman, with whom I have had a strong connection in this life. I know who she is. The other is a small boy, and in the vision I must have been quite young because we are twins. I don't know where he is. We have been together in our past life and I always felt like the missing thing I could feel was him, but he is not here in this life. I miss him most when I'm drunk. I even have silent conversations with him, while I'm walking the dog. No one else knows about this. My family would think I was insane. Maybe I am... His name is William. Thank you for reading my story. Katherine Elliot.

I dreamed of drowning as a child, over and over again. (Therefore I am now a GOOD swimmer!)
Short and sweet: carriage driven by 2 white horses, goes off of a bridge, I fall in and drown. end of story. Strange?? Blessings So May It Ever Be, Lisa

For at least the past 12 years now i have had the most sorrowful of dreams.  In my dream i am with a man who is very much in love with me, he always has dark brown hair, brown eyes and is around 5'8 tall.  Each time we are seperated from each other ,and i have woken up in sheer panic and desperation looking for him.  The love i feel for this man is totally overwhelming and i really do feel that he is my soul mate.  In one particular dream we had twin girls and for some reason we where hiding in a storm water tunnel when our two babies where taken from us by unknown people.  I have seen his face so vividly in my dreams but for the life of me i cannot explain what he looks like to other people. We have gone thru many lives together as each dream is set in another era but always usually  in England.

my name is becky. my friend jennifer and i strongly believe that we have had previous lives. jenny was with me once when a song by leanne rymmes called 'but i do love you' came on the radio, she looked at me solemnly and said "i wrote this song." at first i thought she had just heard it before but her belief gets stronger everytime she hears the song. when i was in a history lesson (as i am still at school i am 14 years old) we were being taught about mining conditions and i was feeling the great sense of darkness in the mines and hav memories of a certain place being alone in the dark. i also have strange memories of dancing to swing music with a partner and other people all around. it sounds just like a little fantasy which it could be but i'm not sure at all.

hello i am a twelve year old girl and i was reading some of the past-life stories when i came across one in particular. the one when the girl is in the tavern drinking and a man stares at her... but anyway i had a vision while i was at summer camp in indiana i was at the refreashment stand hanging with some friends and all of a suddden im in a tavern about the age of twelve ( which i am right now) wearing an  evergreen dress and my hair braided down the back coming to an end in the middle of my back. i'm with a tall olive skined man with black hair and a long black beard. and across the room i see a tall attractive women with long black hair and is dressed like the character xena with her friend that looks much like gabrielle. The tall lady sees me and i feel a chlll run down my spine. her blue eyes just stares at me.all of a sudden the lady stands up and walks tworeds us she looks at the man and says that she
wants me back, that she wants her daughter back.  i hide behind the man as the worrior looks at me. she says my name which is Cora and reaches out for me. i pull back hitting y head on the bar and i am suddenly back at the rfreshments stand at camp laying on the ground with a crowd surrondouing me. -  horsechild

    This is the one i used to have when I was little. I was a young lady, twenty perhaps, and from what I can remember I had light brown skin that hadn't been touched by the sun. This memory comes with the sensations of warm sun and hot climate, so I'm going to say that I lived in Egypt.
    Now, I was sitting in a *tavern* drinking a small cup of what I presume was
wine (i'm sorry, I am not familiar with Egypt and it's history) and I catch the glimpse of a man just staring at me. He was sitting in the dark, and he had long, red hair and was wearing pants and a shirt. The first thought that came to my mind was "barbarian." Then, I became scared because I didn't know how long he had been staring at me.
    Finally, he came out of the dark and sat on the floor with me. He also had green eyes and sun burnt skin. I was really frightened by then, but he smiled and I smiled back. Then he starts talking in this language (I suppose it was his own) and I try to explain to him that I have no idea what he is saying. He started gesturing angrily, and I started to gesture too. Then, he grabs a bottle out of no where and throws it at me. It hits my forehead and I fall forward. I can remember my body beaten furiously. That's the end of it. I'm not even sure if it is a past life memory, but I have friends who insist that it is because I describe it so vividly that it is. Again, I'm not sure if it was in Egypt, i am just guessing. If anyone has any idea what era or civilization it could have been from, i would be delighted to know. - Celeste

    hi. I'm a 13 year old girl and i have reacurring dreams about   being a tall girl with red hair. I am wearing a black dress and have two black bows on my head.  In it I am walking down a hall and there are lots of other girls dressed just like me.  I come to a door marked "FRENCH"  and i run away crying.I go into the bathroom and a girl follows me in and comforts me. "Lilly, it's alright. We know what he did to you. You'll be okay. He can't hurt you anymore." and then it stops.

    Well, I was just reading some of these other past life memories and such when i read on about a girl who freaks out when ever someone even gets close to her neck and it made me think ... I am the same way, only it's my arms. I notice this severe anger toward any one who grabs onto my arms, for no apparent reason, I just flip out...
    Like one time I was with all these other guys in Scouts and there were some older guys from Ventures there, we were having a game of "Tackle Tag"... well I'm playing and I'm doing really well, ya know I'm all happy and enjoying the free time and then one of the older guys from Ventures runs up to me and tags me, so I started walking toward "jail" and he says, "I don't trust you" ... so he walks next to me and grabs my arm (It really bothers me when older men grab my arms) ... I stopped dead and all of a sudden to my own surprise I just said calmly, but with a bit of force "let the f*** go of my arm". The guy didn't so I screamed, and he just tightened his grip, then I couldn't handle it any more, I just broke out crying and kicked him in the nads.... "I told you to let go of me!!!" I said still crying as he rolled around on the ground. I have always had these memories of a young boy about 9 being yanked around by and big, muscular man in his 20's....
    And also, I'm one of those people always "makes up" things in their heads, like i'll say ..."Remember that time when ....and then... that was so funny" and then everybody always says that, that never happened, that I'm making it up even though I KNOW it happened. But then later on perhaps, when I get a chance to think, I sometimes realize that the memory was mixed up, not even of me, usually of that little 9 y/o boy.
    Well, that's my deposit into your memory bank, merry meet and merry part, until we merry meet again...    Frost Byte

 I'm not sure if this was really a past life or a vague dream. One night I was staying at a friend's house, all day long I had this weird feeling like I've been there before, only it was different.  Later that night we fell asleep.  And it began...
    I was walking around a small place for houses. As I walked I came across my sister only she didn't seem like my sister to me, she looked different somehow.  We started talking then a lady holding a baby in her arms she came up to me and told me she could read a past life for me.  I told her I didn't believe in past lives.  She told me she would see to it I would, and that I have lived before.  I said fine.  The scene changed and we were now walking around a place where there was grass.  Lot's of it, it was also night time I noticed.  She told me to sit down.  I did what I was told. She handed the baby to my sister and told me to turn around. Then she told me she was going to put something on my back and it would hurt a little.  I said fine.
    She did what she said it felt like spices maybe sand.  It did hurt I can even remember the pain when I woke up.  Well, when she did that she started saying some words maybe in latin I couldn't tell, I don't remember what she said because as she said the word's I got very tired.  It was black, pitch black. I couldn't see a thing.  I heard people yelling but I still couldn't see.  I then felt the water hitting my back hard and cold.  I wasn't sure what was going on, but I felt the water.  The more they yelled the more I started to yell and the more water went into my mouth. I could hear the lady that was going to tell me my past life yelling in the background "We Got To Pull Her Out!" The water was now getting into my lungs and I couldn't breath, I started screaming and screaming for help but no one came.  The people were yelling to kill me.  I wasn't sure why, I didn't do anything wrong. That's what I started yelling. "I didn't do anything wrong!" I yelled.
    That's when I woke up.  I still felt the cold water around me and the sand hitting my back, I was still yelling I couldn't breath.  The weirdest thing was I coughed up water. - Lenea

 I was watching the Sally Jesse Raphael show and the guest speaker was hypnotising people into a trance that would reveal their past life. I went under the trance and here's what happened. I was running through a green field towards a forest, I was female and had long un-washed red or reddish blonde hair. My clothes were old and ratty and I believe I was pregnant. I felt as though I was being chased and something was wrong with my head. It was as though It was crooked to one side and I couldn't un-crook it. I judge that I was age 20-35 which is wierd because I'm only thirteen. I do not understand what all of this means.

     I've always enjoyed hiding under pillows, crawling behind couches, etc. as long as i can remember. I didn't know why for the longest time, but i found out, kind of accidently. Visions come to me fairly often, premonitions, kind of. One night as i was falling asleep (though i know this is no dream, i'm positive), i saw myself, a young child, 8-9ish, playing with a man, my father, i guess. The young girl and her guardian weren't me and my dad looking at them, but feeling them they were.
    We're high in an apartment, i think, urban (looking out a window i see a familiar brick building). Like i said, we're playing and laughing. The doorbell rings, and he playfully tosses me on a bed, covered in pillows + blankets. I cover myself in them, hiding until he comes back to find me. I hear the muffled voice of my dad, and a dark, unfamiliar man's voice. He seemed to be threteningly angry, my father trying to calm him down, but he couldn't be calmed. It all happens very quickly. The man pulls out a gun and kills him, and i freeze at the sound, just as i do now when something frightens me.
    I hear his footsteps as he approches my room, where i lay concealed, paralyzed with fear. He glances around the room, grabs something off a table, and leaves. I peer out, anger pushing out my fear. I never see his face, just a strong, broad-shouldered man, not to be trifled w/ (relate him to Bill Sykes in Oliver Twist). I  can see policemen in tall, curvy hats and wooden sticks sometime later, but it grows blurry, and eventually disappears. -Sarah

    This has come to me only once while I was meditating, but I knew in my mind that I had experienced it before. I am by a pond in the deep woods, sitting alongside the edge with a very beautiful woman. It is by her house, for i can see it about 20 feet behind us. We are both wearing long flowing white dresses, very simple looking but comfortable. She is singing the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It is a combination of the soothing melody and her powerful yet gentle voice that send shivers up my spine and at the same time tell me all the world's secrets. She is gently playing with the water in the pond, and a small fish is swimming around her hand. She lifts it from the water and brings it close to her. It doesn't struggle, it is content in her hand. I reach out to touch it, and it jumps back into the water. "What happened?" I ask her. "You approached the creature when it was most vulerable. It was simply unaware of your intentions." ~*~*~Lara~*~*~

    This isn't really what I remember but it's something that used to happen. I'm 13 now. Many children have imaginary friends when they're younger, but when I was younger, I had an entire imaginary family. The odd thing is that they were all black. I called them my "chocolate family". If my mom wanted to take me somewhere, I'd tell her, "I have to ask my mom(imaginary one) first". I would talk to them, play with them, eat with them, do everything with them. I don't remember when I stopped seeing my imaginary family but i was watching a psychic thing on tv(sylvia brown) and someone else brought up a situation like mine, about having an imaginary mother. She was told that children often remember there past lives and can communicate with their past life familes. -Samantha

    I'm not sure if this pertains to any past life experiences. I've had several dreams that run along the same pattern and I can't seem to connect it with any current life scenarios or situations. I don't remember the entire dream but am always left with the same impressions.  The setting of the dreams are often so real that I'm often unable to tell the difference if it is a dream or if I'm really awake.  I usually only remember the last scene of the dream before I awake. The setting is a very well lit indoor living room or more like a reference section of a library.  There are other people in the area and I guess I know some of them.  We seem to be gathered there for a meeting of sorts.  There is sunlight streaming in from the windows and there are large open books on stands.  I look at one of them from a few feet away and can't make out what is written there.  The writting is very blurry though I can see everything else well enough.  I step closer hoping that the words will come into focus.  The more I concentrate on deciphering the words the more muddled they become. I've had these dreams often enough to have developed a trick for myself. Since these dreams can be so realistic, if I can't read anything then I know that I'm dreaming and will wake soon. I'd appreciate any advice that anyone can offer me.  It could also mean that it's time for me to see an opthalmologist.

    I keep having this vision, sometimes while awake, sometimes while asleep. I am standing on the edge of a cliff, staring at an ocean, at night. It is windy. I have a cloak on, but the hood is back, and the wind blows my hair forward, so I can see that it is blond. Suddenly, I have this feeling that someone is watching me and turn around, only to see a dark shape hurtling toward me. It collides with me and I feel myself falling off the edge of the cliff. What is weird, is that in this life, I am not normally afraid of heights, but I don't like to climb on things that I might fall off of, and I have a fear of falling and not being able to catch myself. - Lady Katana
