    I'm not exactly sure on why I feel the need to send this in but something in me wants to. Its probably not even a past life, its probably more like a strange liking towards cats, anway, I will go ahead and tell you. I've always felt a deep connection to animals, most of all with cats. I have five and I feel as if I understand them. I talk to them often and they always meow back, like they truly understand what I'm saying. My parents always tell me I act like a cat. My flexibility is unique and my balance amazing. My eyes are this rare hazelish greenish color and everyone always says "you have cat eyes". I've never had to train my cats yet they'll do anything I ask of them. I volunteer at a Stray Cat House with over 250 cats there, each one has this special personality and they all seem to trust in me. Even the ones that have been abused and are afraid of people have some sort of attraction to me. They treat me like I'm one with them. I don't know what it is, like I said, its probably not a past life, but there is something, some sort of magnetic force. Something. Blessed be ~*Callan*

    I am fairly new in this life, only ninteen years of age.  However ever since I was a little girl I have had the same dreams over and over again. In my dream I am in cat form.  Although I cannot recognize the location of my dream i know it is in a sandy desert with a winding river.  There is a beautiful woman with brown eyes and black long straight hair petting me on her lap.  She always wore the same linen dress and gold necklace with a scorpion charm.  I remember in my dreams I was always a tabby, a short-hair with grey stripes. we lived in a stone house with a single palm in the yard.  I remember I was well loved by this woman.  I guess the point to me sharing this with you is that I am hoping someone out there knows "her."   There was a fire in my dream and I feel she believe I perished in that fire.. i want her to know that I survived and was hiding in the reeds. - Chrysalynea

    I don't know if this is an actual past life memory, but i have visions of being a cat. I'll look at something, like i did our Christmas tree, and i had a flashback of being a kitten jumping up to bat an ornament and then a little girl picking me up and setting me in her lap. I have a constant habit of mewing, sometimes it just comes out without planned. i fantasize about birds, and other small animals sometimes. once my friend mentions squirrels, and i blurted out ''squirrels are tasty'', and i didn't even mean to. it's all very confusing. i even like to talk to cats. -Jem

LYNX
*
    I don't remember much of my past lives butÝI believe at one stageÝI was a lynx. When I was very young about 3 or 4 years old (I'm now 16) I had this recurring dream of watching a cat like creature being skinned alive. I remember watching in terror, thinking I'm next. The dream stopped there andÝI woke up crying. But since I was just a little girl I never really took notice of this dream, and as I got older I stopped having it. Now lately, something really wants me to know about this past life, because I've been having dreams of being a cat like creature running through the woods and a hunter is chasing after me with his wolf-like dogs, and then I run out of the woods and I'm running in the open andÝI run into a trap the wire cage sort of trap, and I'm desperately trying to free myself and the hunter's dogs are barking and attempting to attack me. And then the hunter catches up and he's standing there with a large rifle in his hand andÝI'm meowing at him in fear and keeping my distance at the back of the cage, too scared to even fun, and that's where the dream ends. I wake up panicking, sweatingÝand sometimes crying. Another dream I have had a couple of times is my spirit guide(?) walking up to me and telling me that I need to know right now that in my pervious life I was a lynx cat. I also remember when I was a little girl, while walking through a picture frame shop, I saw this portrait of a kitten and I begged my mum to buy it for me. I only realise now that the kitten in the portrait is that of a lynx. Me being a lynx would also explain why I want to visit Canada so bad, and why I'm so against fur farms, because every time I see videos of animals being skinned I bawl my eyes out and I literally feel the pain and trauma.

PANTHER
*
  Well in my dream im in a palace of Ancient Egypt i believe and im in a great room with like a big pool in the center, but i know im not human because i lay in floor in one of the corners with a panther. One that is greater in size and looks masculine. But then this woman she comes up to us and she's wearing one of those skirts that is made of thin silk, and she has black hair with gold plaits in them. She's wearing gold bracelets and rings with rubies and emeralds in her jewelry. And she pets and hugs us. But then she gets into the bath. Then the dream stops and starts in a different room. This room has a bed and many couches in it. And there isn't only that one woman but many of them. But then someone takes us out of the room and into a hallway. And yet again the dream stops. And when it starts yet again i'm on top of a man his make up heavy and he's wearing a golden helmet thing. And i start to claw at his face and chest. And i see that i had scratched all the skin off from one side of his face and blood was flowing from the gashes i had made in his chest. Then someone comes and I'm dragged away and my dream ends.  I know it doesn't sound very convincing but I've had other dreams. One of which I'm in a beautiful carriage but I'm not a woman but a man.  And i know that i love writing poetry but my family is sending me away and i don't know why.  - Lisa Reynolds

    I am no psychic nor am i a spiritualist just an ordinary guy trying to understand the cycle of life. I was born into a familiy with sites, this mean we can see flashes of the future or get dreams indicating when or if there is a problem, occasionally you may have dreams of persons who have passed on. As a child i was not into these things, i would hear my mother my aunt & grandmother speak of them but i would stay far away. But then i started realizing that i would dream things and they would happen. it did not happen in the way you see it in the movies where you foresee it happening and attempt to change it. It happens just soon enough for you to realize that it was one of those dreams and yes its happening now. you are not given any time to change anything.
    As i grew older i started paying closer attention to my dreams and realized that i was almost living my dreams, at times when i am about to make a very important descision i have to stop and search my memory for dreams that may have occured years ago. Then i became an adult and wanted to know more about me and who i am. I realized one important thing in all my years of being on this earth as a man, i was not really a cat person, i am a dog person, but there was a cat deep within my soul, one that would purr and roar. In my dreams over the years i have always had one dream that never changed, i was in a tree looking at my reflection in a river and all i could see was piercing eyes of a shiny black panther staring back at me & there was no fear there just a calm, a knowing that yeah this is me. I would at times feel myself on the hunt prowling & stalking feeling mighty and powerful under the cover of night like a shadow.
    To this day i stare in the mirror and still see that cat, i sometimes feel the rage and anger of wanting to roar and can't be able to contain the urge. It even goes beyound that, to a warrior standing above a cliff staring out onto miles of forest, with a sword across his back and the wind blowing in his hair, reminiscing about lost loved ones in a recent battle. His hands sticky with blood and wounds of his own burn from being stale and need dressing. I have never ridden a horse but know i can ride one, just like up until years ago i didnt own a sword but knew how to use one and how it felt, the urge was so bad i had to go buy one. I know who i am, & what i am my soul have roamed this earth for hundreds of years. I am a fighting spirit regardless of the form i take in whatever life. In this life i am a soldier and already i know how this life ends, but that does not prevent me from doing it, it is in me i have no control over that feeling.
    I have moved away from wanting to find out who i am to knowing who & what i am. I still see climpses of the future to this day but years before they actaully happen, It is now i regret i hadnt found out more from my grandma or my mother who are now both dead. at age 15yrs my mother and i both had the same dream one night of blood and bones running from our house & was wondering who was going to die. Two weeks later my mother was murdered in our house, it wasnt until i was washing her blood from the house with a garden house two days later that the dream came back to me. The sight of bloody water running from the house. We both saw it but could do nothing about it. I still ask myself this question, Life, what is it ? really

WILD CAT
*
I dream a lot about different lives or time periods but this dream was pretty weird. It’s the first one I ever had that involved me as an animal. I later had another dream that I was a panther in a tree, watching villagers bringing water to their village from mountain springs. Then I had another dream where I was surrounded by lions ...but this dream that I've sent ...was the the first of a series of cat dreams.
     I see light and I am weak, lying on what feels like ... straw? hay? and ... cold concrete/cement?? I feel some warmth beside me. My legs don't seem to work at the moment and my arms feel rather weak and short ...but heavy ... I have this immediate urge to start pulling them up closer to me. Something warm pushes at me. Things look  blurry but I can see a few feet away there is light coming in from something up above. I have no sense of where I am but only that I am cold, shivering and feel somehow naked and wet. I crawl across the floor and I feel it.
    My vision gives blurred outlines and I can see a blurry vision of what looks like jail bars and dark shadows directly in front of me. To my right side is what might be a lower hole in a wall with bright light coming in. It is blinding to me and look away as it hurts my eyes. Something is licking at my back, pushing me along. I feel warmth again and then a distinct bite-like pull at my neck (which scared me) and then I hear a loud purring sound then the licking and clicking sounds. I still cannot see clearly but I get blurred images of something lying near me and somethng moving beyond the jail bars.
    I try to stand, but I still feel weak. The entire time I am aware of who I am in real life, struggling to understand this situation. I sense that I am an animal (perhaps a baby wild cat of some kind) and I am in captivity in a zoo? The smells and sensations of this dream were so vivid that I did not want to leave the dream whatsoever. I felt the the fur!!
     This is one weird dream and felt very real. I know that baby cats probably can't see when they are born so it is all the weirder since I had the impression in the dream that I had just arrived in this place. Anyhow.. just thought I'd share...

WOLF

*
    Hello. My name is Camilla and i'm 15 years old. I am just emailing you because I was reading your site about past lives and i thought my story can be interesting. When I was very young, maybe about 6 or 7 years of age I had a dream that I was a white wolf, but I was in the desert. I clearly remember watching buffalo from a cliff where I was standing, howling at the sun. That may not make any sense of course. On top of that, I have always noticed my self to be on my own, sort of an independent thing. I also have this stone with a white wolf on it and i've noticed it to be very close to me spiritually. I almost can't go anywhere without it. I feel very connected to back then then now. I just feel out of touch with everything, and I have always.

    Just last night, I had a dream in which I was going into a forest to perform a ritual when I ran up to a wolf.. I wasn't scared or anything. The wolf came up to me, smelled me, and then licked . He howled and then I howled. Whats weird is that I could actually understood what he said. He told me that he was glad to find me and that the pack would be happy to see me return home. In my dream, I turned out to be the wolf's brother. and I had run away before. My name is Herne Wolf, befriender of elves and helper of gnomes (as you may tell from the event I mentioned in the Fairy Encounter pages).

     when i was 11 i had a weird feeling when i went near my woods, see i loved the outside, and one day i was running around and my mom called me her little wolf and then the next night i woke up to hear a howl look out the window a white female wolf and a black male wolf was looking at me howling for me to come. what freaked me out was i understood it and the white female had blue eyes  and the male had ocean blue eyes like mine but my hair is blond and i am white very white so i wonder could i be that wolf cub that the pack lost because when i turned around to leave i heard a howl that sounded like my little wolf dream and that name is what my friends call me - julie demarco

I have had this dream since I was eight and this is how I am sure I was a wolf in a past life. Running towards a herd of elk migrating through my territory, I glanced to my right at my beta, a large grey female. She understood and called our new, snowy white members to the right.  My mate ran beside me, his thick, black mane flowing in the wind and the white star on his forehead dancing in the moonlight as we charged ahead. I nodded at him and he called two females to the left. I glanced back at the four wolves left following me, then I began the selection. We slowed and slunk around the outside of the herd, hidden from view as I selected a beast. I found an old, sick female, a perfect target. We came into view purposely, close enough to make the herd huddle together closely but far enough away not to make them run. Then we sliced through the elk, cutting up their group until we had ten animals including the sick one in a small group to one side of the charging masses. I cut off the sick beast with the help of my beta and my mate and my daughters launched a frontal attack while my son and the newbies attacked from the rear. There was a yelp and my son, a beautiful black wolf, flew back a couple feet. I was enraged and grabbed the neck of the beast, shoving away my beta. We pulled the wretched creature down and feasted. Now it may not seem so bad to me now, but when I was eight this dream was more like a nightmare. But at least once a week I remember having this dream, as it is a dream now, and I believe it is a gift to know that in a past life i was one of the most beautiful, majestic and awesome creatures on the earth. - Tamara

    This is a dream I had that I think might've been my past life: I remember running alone for miles on end, along a snow-covered path. I can't talk, and I am running in a really weird way, almost as if I have 4 legs instead of 2. Suddenly, as I am running, I bolt at a small animal. I can't exactly remember what animal it was. I think it was a rabbit or a bird. I then remember grabbing the animal, furiously shaking it and tearing it into bits that were small enough to swallow. After eating the animal I started walking slowly until I came across a pond that I started drinking from. When I finished drinking I opened my eyes to look at my reflection in the water. Instead of my face, I saw the face of a young wolf staring back at me, and its eyes were pale blue, like mine. That's all I remember about my dream, because after staring into the water, everything slowly faded away. -Nicole

    My memory is not a beautiful one of running through the woods as a wolf, glorying in life.  It is a very short vivid memory I have had since I was a child (I am 70 now).  I am looking back over my shoulder at a cow carcass hanging in some type of shed.  I know it was me and I have a feeling of great relief that I am "free".  As I was a cow, I guess I'm definitely not an "old soul" but then we can't all have been beautiful white wolves.   However, as for the "soul mate" aspect -- I first saw my husband when I was eleven and he was thirteen.  I told my mother that I was going to marry that boy.  Of course she laughed, but I knew he was the one for me.  At that time he did not have the same feeling but now, after 53 years together, he says he sure is glad I found him because we were certainly meant to be together.  Enjoy your site.  Mimi

 i am very drawn to wolves, thinking it is my native american heritage.  i joke about shape shifting with those that don't understand, but i think it is more of a memory than a dream. I am on a street in New York, with a young male. I recognize him as a friend of my son.  He is very upset about something.  I ask him what it is, and with great reluctance he tells me that at night he turns into a wolf. He is very ashamed.   I begin to tell him that many are as he is.  It is nothing to be ashamed of.  As we stand there, I start to tell him of the many benefits of being able to change into a wolf.  I talk of the feelings of running through the night, with the wind in your fur.  As I am telling him this, I myself realize that I am talking from experience.  I am a white wolf running through the night. He is running with me.  I hear the sounds and smell everything around me with such force it is as if I am able to feel it all.  The wind is touching me, it feels so good.  I feel so at home.  I woke with an understanding and pride in myself after that so-called dream.   -WolfMom

    I just read a few of the animal memories and I have to share two dreams that I've had.  In both dreams I was running on what seemed to be four legs.  I was running too fast to be on two, as many of the others have stated in their dreams.  In one dream I was a wolf the whole time.  My perspective, what I was viewing, was not through the eyes of a human but a wolf.  My breathing was that of a wolf as well.  I was running through grass and trees.  In another dream, I was a human at the outset, but then shapeshifted to a wolf. I dreamt I was being chased by two men who knew what I was (a shapeshifter), and I started to run.  As I began to run my body changed and could tell that I was not longer running on two legs but on four.  Again my perspective changed from that of a human to that of a wolf.  I could see through the wolf's eyes, and my breathing also changed.  When I stopped I could feel my tongue hanging out of my mouth and my panting, but it wasn't human.  I remember injuring one of my paws, and then I ran into a safe location (I think it was a store or something) and hid, the men still chasing me. Immediately my body started to change again and I was crouched in the corner. A woman came to the back room and just looked and me, then drew a curtain to keep me out of sight so that the men couldn't find me.  She looked at me with a knowing in her eyes.  When I looked down at my body it was that of a human again, but, my hands were bloody.  I knew immediately that that was from the injury I had suffered while running away from the men as a wolf.
    Maybe it means nothing, I have no idea.  But the dream I had where I was running through the trees was realistic.  I could smell the grass as feel the dampness of the earth under my paws.  It was night, and it was cold. - Maharet
