    Now I don't know if this is a past life or a dream I've had, but it feels so real to me that I've woken up still feeling parts of this "memory". Here goes: I am not sure what country I am in but I think the time is in the early middle ages. I believe I am of noble blood and that there is a man that murdered my family and is forcing me to marry him so that he can take control of my kingdom. So my lady in waiting, who turns out to be my best friend, and I in the middle of the night run away into the forest.
    After a while we come upon a shack and a monk comes out of the shack and hugs me and tells me that he's taken care of everything. He took us inside and told us to rest before the journey ahead. The following night he takes us further into the forest. We come upon a campsite that has three tents. We are escorted to the largest tent by two guards and come upon a group of men that are looking down at a map. One of the guards announces us and the men all look up at us.
    The monk presents me to the man in the middle of the group. I am wearing a wrap around my hair in order not to be recognized by anyone. I look up and am mesmerized by the man in the middle. His eyes are a beautiful shade of blue but his coloring is dark. He smiles at me and he tells the other men to leave the tent. The monk than explains what is happening that a marriage between him (his name is Nicholas, I have no idea how I know that) and me is the only way to stop the other man and to save everyone. Nicholas looks at me and tells the monk to leave the tent. The monk turns to me and tells me not to fear Nicholas, but somehow I already know that he would never hurt me. He leaves me alone with Nicholas.
    Nicholas then asks me why I chose him out of all the men in this world. I told him because he is the only man that I can trust. He smiles and asks me how I could possibly know that. I tell him because he has kind eyes. He laughs but than grows very serious. He tells me that is not looking for a wife and that he is sorry but he cannot help me. This causes me so much sadness and I start to cry and he tells me not to cry but I yell at him that I do not cry but at this moment I know that my people will die and that I will die with them. I turn to leave but he grabs my arm and hugs me. After a few moments he has me escorted to another tent to rest and tells me that we will speak in the morning.
    The next thing I remember is that I am running from the men that are trying to force me into marriage and he catches me and tells me that I cannot run or hide from him anymore. Than all of a sudden Nicholas rides up and tells him to unhand me. The man tells him that this is none of his business that I was a nervous bride-to-be. Nicholas laughs and says that that was impossible considering that I was his wife and that I was anything but nervous when we wed. Than flashes of a simple wedding by moonlight in the forest flashes before my eyes and I look down and see a ring with Nicholas' insignia. Right than all fear left me and I knew I was safe.
    The next scene I see is that I am in a room where there are about eight men around a table looking down at a map disgussing positioning and strategy for a war. Nicholas senses my presense and turns around and when he sees me he smiles. He asks me over and asks me for my opinion. All the men around us look at Nicholas like he's gone mad but he is just smiling at me which makes me fell strong and safe. Than the scene is over.
    All I know is that I have always loved the name Nicholas and that everytime I remember that scene I feel safe and loved. Thanks for listening, angie

    hi i'm 14 and ever since i have been 11 i keep having the same dream or vision thing, i live in australia but most of my family is scottish or come from england.
    I seem to be about 6 or 7 at that age and i was down at the end of a garden saying good bye to another little girl.  Then I turn around and walk up to this big castle, as i walk up i look into a pond nearby seeing myself as i was when i was little except i was wearing a white and gold dress that
looked to be medieval. Then i turn back around and walk through the  front doors, as i go in i notice the light streaming through the coloured windows above the door, and it made the suits of armour down the hall look really spooky because it was dark in there. I start waking and when i go past the third suit of armour this cloaked man jumps out behind me and stabs me in the chest. At that point i would wake up from my dream or jolt if i was having a vision of it, and feel a really sour where i was struck by the daggar. Is this a real vision of my past life?

    I have had dreams of being back in medieval times. In fact I always come to the same part of the dream. I see my love on the ground and is being threatened by a man behind me on a horse. I can't tell you where I was. But I had long brownish red hair and hazel eyes. I know I was murdered. In fact I was murdered before my love's eyes and thrown on the ground. I watch the vile man throw me on the ground at my love's feet and the man said "Since I couldn't have her neither will you." Ever since then I have had dreams here and there of the man I was in love with telling me he would find me. I was wondering if someone might happen upon this and maybe read it and recognize the story. - Becky

    I recently did a past life regression [I’ve done many before] to try and understand a connection between me and one of my close male friends. During the regression, I was taken back to the year 1112 AD. I was young, at least 17, slim and tall, with long chestnut colored hair that was pulled up.
    I remember running down a dusty road towards a man on a large grey horse. He was dressed as a knight or a warrior would be. His shield was red with a white cross on it. He gets off his horse and embraces me. His eyes are the same as my friend’s eyes. Later on thru the regression, I am brought to a scene in which I am trying to find him amongst a bunch of people fighting in what I believe to be some sort of temple. I get knocked on the head and black out.
     After the regression, I researched the year and the shield design and found out that that is when the first order of the knights templar formed up to protect religious pilgrims in the holy land and the red and white shield was their symbol. The freemasons were also an active society back then too.
What makes that even more interesting is that my friend’s grandfather was a freemason.

    ok....i'm not sure if this was a glimpse of my past life or it was just something i ate that night... but...one night i had this dream that i was lying in this luxurious mid-15 century room....i was dressed in a beautiful night gown. i was nervous and scared about something... guess it was my wedding night...and i was about to be de-virginized. i had four servant women at the side of my bed... preparing the bed sheets as i lay a top of them. then... i notice among the four servants..was my youngest sister (in this life)...she was holding my hand and reassuring me. It felt so familiar. it makes sense because i've always felt a special bond with my youngest sister. Any ways....then i conjure up courage and tell the girls that i am ready....then enters a dark-haired, blue-eyed man. he kisses my hand and then my neck. then i wake up. it's a coinsidence in the way that i have always been attracted to men with the same profile: dark-hair, blue-eyes, a thin-trim figure, and full lips....its weird and i can't forget about this dream...every so often when i'm lying in bed i feel that same uneasiness i felt in the dream....well i could have been tripping on some advil or something but i feel it could be something more... alright take it easy kids!!!....nicole

    I dreamt this a couple of years ago. Yet I remember every single detail of it all.  A fortress, a fierce battle. Cannons firing everywhere, arrows zooming to target and soldiers in armour running everywhere. A still, starry, dark night, lit up only by the fires form the cannon balls where they landed. The attack had been unexpected but our men fought bravely to defend the fort. The sea was littered with enemy ships and corpses. I felt myself pressing my back against a cold stone wall which belonged to the fort. I looked down at the murderous scene and then I shifted my gaze to my hand and found I was cradling a baby, swaddled in thick cloths. Instinctively I knew who he was. I ran and found myself inside the fort shouting for the king. Two noble ladies met me in the corridor, one nobler than the other. They looked as if they couldnít care less for what was happening outside. One of them gave me an evil look. I recognized her as the babyís mother, but she dismissed me with a mere flick of her hand. She told me to take care of the baby myself and to leave the king alone. They left. An old man, in expensive robes came round the corridor and saw me. He was some sort of advisor and relief dawned on his face. He told me to stay calm, that the King will be with me soon. Suddenly a shadow showed on the opposite wall and a tall, slim, light brown hairedÝman dressed in golden robes with a sword in his hand came round. He emanated authority and power, yet he saw still young. The cross on his chest held a green emerald in its midst; as green as his gentle eyes. He made those near him feel his protection. I couldnít take my eyes off him, he was so handsome. I felt I knew him well. At once I told him:
"You Majesty, my King, your son, he is in danger!"
He looked at me and I knew he trusted me.
"My dear you are capable of taking care of my son well, but I canít put you in danger anymore. Go and take the baby to the chamber where my soldiers will come and guard both of you."
We were safe now and instinctively, with a feeling of anxiety I told him,
"The Lord be with you, please take care of yourself."
I left and went through corridors. I left the baby in the menís care and went in search of the bathroom. I encountered the evil women once again. I figured out the nobler woman was the Kingís consort who had accompanied him on his mission. She didnít care about the baby, but hurled insults at me saying that I wanted to steal her husband, and that heíll never look at me once because I was only a filthy, poor, nurse. The other woman just stood beside her at the door sniggering at me. I loved my King and felt that that was not the end of it all. I felt I wasn't just a nurse, I was something more...
    I woke up feeling shaken inside. - MARIA GRECH 7

    Hello, I'm 35, and can still remember a very clear dream from the age of four. I believe in this dream I recalled an event from a previous life of mine. In my dream I was a woman in her twenties, wearing a long, heavy dress. At the time I wasn't familiar with different types of fabric, but now I know it was made of velvet. I had long curly hair, and was chained to the wall by my wrists in a dungeon. There was a small window way above me - other than that, there was no light in my cell.
    I was in a sitting position on a stone bench (or something similar), facing the door of my cell. This door suddenly opened, and a young soldier entered. He had blond hair, almost white, and was wearing a red hussar uniform. In this dream I immediately recognised him, even though I do not know the face
in this life. But in my dream I knew he was a very good friend (or perhaps a lover). I was releaved to see his face, because I knew he came to my rescue. However, much to my shock, he drew his sword and wanted to stab me.
    I tried to protect myself from the sword, but being chained to the wall, my movement was limited. I drew up my legs in front of my body, and his sword went through my left thigh. The pain was so sharp that I woke up, but I could still feel the pain. Afterwards I limped for weeks, and even today, more than thirty years after this dream, I can feel the stab occasionally. I believe it was a memory of a past life - and possibly the way this life ended. From the clothes I would say it all took place in the 19th century. Yours, Susanna

   Once, not to long ago in algebra class, I had a startling flashback. In this flashback I could not see my face but the room I was in was circular and near the ceiling a lot of windows let a large portion of light flood in. For some odd reason I felt that I was sitting down. All I could see was some black boots, which had dirt between the creases. Then like a camera my mind focused on my hand which kept writing very quickly. Suddenly I felt my soul awaken and back on track with algebra.
    Another weird experience is that as a small child I once saw a young girl and I could distinctly hear her voice. Another characteristic is that I have always liked the Victorian times. And the girl I saw, dated back to the Victorian times. I truly believe that my past life was spent during the 1800's. -Lizbeth

    When I was very young (5 or 6), I had a dream that I've remembered very strongly 'til this day.  I always thought it was a past life memory but was never sure because the dream didn't give too much detail and didn't last very long.  It was weird.  There was a room (like a living room) that i was standing in.  It was me in my present life.  My dad was sitting behind me in an arm chair facing away from me, and the far wall of the room wasn't there, so that i could see outside.  I was looking outside at myself.  It was all sand like the desert.  It was a hot day and i was standing there by a horse wearing a flowered dress.  It was really weird because i felt like i was two people at once.  I was in the living room with my dad but at the same time i was out there in the flowered dress.
    I've continually reflected back to that dream, for it has always popped up in my memory as if i had it yesterday.  I didn't really think too much of it until i spoke to a psychic who told me about my past life.  He said it was some time in the 1800's and it was all dirt where i lived.  I had a favorite flowered dress, i liked to  watch the stars and swim.  I had alot of loved ones around me, especially a women who took care of me and was like a mother to me and who is now my mother in this life.  He said there was a windmill that had alot of significance but i don't know what it means to me.  He said that the women who took care of me died at a young age, and i was so lonely and heartbroken, that i cut my wrists with some sort of cross.  He said he could see me sitting in the dirt doing this, with the blood in the sand.  That's how i died, and i always have  a stabbing pain in my wrists in this life.
    I won't go into details, but what he said about my mother and how i died really relates to events that i've gone through in this life.  He also said my name was Zarielle. Not only this but what really amazed me was that he told me that when i was a young child i had a past life dream and he went on and described my dream so exactly, without me telling him a thing.

    I think I spent them mainly as a male.  I am a woman, now. I feel very comfortable holding weapons, especially long weapons, like spears and I love bows and arrows. But I do remember one past life clearly. It came through a series of naps, I was taking one lazy Sunday afternoon.
    I was male. I worked on a fishing boat. I didn't fish, but my job was to slit a knife through a fish, around it's head and hang the fish up to dry on a line. I wore a clean white shirt, didn't get bloody. I would grab 6 cleaned fish at a time and hang them up to dry.  Sometimes, I would eat a fish raw, if I got hungry. This explained to me now, why I hate seafood. :-) and have become a strict vegetarian.
    Anyway, I would start work when the fishing boat came back. It was a large wooden boat. I was very comfortable with all the men in the boat. One man, was always smiling at me and treated me quite well. He had a longish beard and was a big burly type of guy.  He would open his arms like he was going to hug someone and bend down into a wooden bucket and pile up all the fish he could hold. Then he would pass the fish on to an elderly gentleman, who would then gut them. I would get them from this elderly gentleman and put them in my bucket. The ladder in the boat, was a series of pegs, nailed into the wall, to get up to the main deck.
    I believe that I was about 17 in this visual dream. I also believe I  could have been slightly brain damaged, because my thoughts were very slow. It was strange. It was like two minds were in this dream. One was my present self and the other was my former self, just going through my daily chores.  My work was over, when the sun began to shine through the boat. I would pass a long counter, where men were drinking something or just talking. Then I would climb back up.
    This was the whole dream. It felt very real and was very different from anything that has ever happened to me. I don't know what my name was, what country this occurred in. But I did do some research on the fish and they could have been Mackerels.  The men, were all white. But I don't know if we spoke English or not. I also couldn't tell by the time period. But fish dryers were needed at least up to 1920. When the 20th century came, the fish drying was usually done outside of the boat.
    This I learned from later research, when I tried to pinpoint the year and the location of the dream. I would like to know who I was and if any of these men, of whom made me feel very good, are in my life now. - April

    I am still trying to make sense of all of this, but none the less I can say it is happening to me and have tried to find guidance.  I have known someone for about 13 years. A woman.  She and I have always been quite close.  Throughout this time, I have sometimes experienced a closeness that made me feel as though I knew what she was thinking, and feeling.  This went on for several years and I never revealed this to her.  One night while sleeping,  I heard a voice and in my mind I saw a shadow.  At first I was frightened because I did not know who or what it was but was certain that it would not harm me.  I knew it was someone familiar but they would not tell me who they were.  For several weeks I had sub-conscious conversations with this person.
    It was not until I had a dream of this woman and myself in a 19th Century home.  I was begging her to get off the floor.  It was as if she were injured in my dream.  In the conscious life, I began telling this woman of my dream and she finished the story for she had the same dream that same night.  At that moment I had figured out that it was her visiting me at night. Her subconscious has been telling me of our past together as lovers and as husband and wife.  The visits have been nightly for about six months and she reveals in either images or in her voice how she loved and how she stills misses me.  I now  understand my past and my past with her, but not sure how to deal with it.  Our meeting 13 years ago was very unusual and explanation is beyond this e-mail.  But I am convinced that somehow we must have been together and very happy but our life together was cut short.  I feel almost a frustration knowing what I know because, although she knows she visits me, she does not remember why or what we discuss.  I must explain that about six months ago she started meditating and reading up on Zen.  I believe this has opened her because I have always been open and perceptive maybe even psychic.  I just have never explored this further.  Until now.
    On October 13, 2002, a visitation revealed her name and my name.  I am presently in search of these names.  My name was Whitney Archer and hers was Victoria but no last name.  I some how think we are to be together again because my understanding and feeling get stronger with each visit, and I think hers get stronger as well, even though she does not profess to have any knowledge of these visitations.  I will let thing take there own course unless there is a better course to take.
