Shared Experiences

HI,

I am curious if any of you have had shared experiences regarding past lives with friends or family. In other words, did you have a dream that you felt was a past life..that you found out later someone else you know also dreamed of?

Did you do a meditation with someone and your experience was the same or similar but from different view points? Did you recognize each other?

In some way..have you shared a past life experience with another person?

Hello Deborah,

Sharing the same experience has occurred with "Leutnant Schäfer", "Oswald Boelcke', and "Lothar von Richthofen". All of these individuals I knew in the past and have met in the present and we have shared memories and have triggered memories with each other. When I used to have Boelcke's WWI memories on my website, you could read two different points of view on how an event occurred. Schäfer and I have a few of these kind of memories posted up, but the contrasting points of views from myself and Boelcke were more amusing. The lady who was my mother is probably another candidate for this kind of sharing, but as of yet, we have not had a major memory triggered by each other.

mmm, let me go ahead and ask this right here on this thread (I hope that's ok)...Ok, I never really had a shared experience like most of you guys did, but I do know that I lived in a farm in a previous life, and when my boyfriend ( who is an atheist) was talking about his idea of a perfect place to live- he basically described the farm that he and I both shared in that past life and he didn't even realize it! He even included the horses! LOL
But here's my question though--there are these new people I have just met in a pagan group here in my town, and there are maybe 3 or 4 people there in which I feel I absolutely have a bond with...two of these people specially, I kinda feel like I love them (as brother and sister) but I have only just met them. Am I crazy or is this a possibility that I have met them in a previous life?
Peace,
Carolyn

A found a soul-mate friend right here on this website. On an old post, she wrote about her experiences as a Calvary Medic during the Washita Massacre which occurred in 1868. I knew that I had been a Native American male during the Washita massacre.

As I read her post, I began seeing images of myself, as the man that I was then and then I saw an image of a White Calvary soldier who was walking through the massacre, dazed and in tears.

I asked her a few questions, without going into detail, and she replied with answers that only I knew of...the images I had visualized of the massacre on that day.

Almost all of the memories we share with each other of that day are identical, except that she saw the massacre from an Calvary Medic's point of view and I saw it from a Native's point of view.

Deborah,

My mother and I have been haunted by the same dream for years. It's very eerie. We both dream we're in this enormous house with many rooms. However, we are forbidden from the third floor of the house. It is completely off limits. We both dream that we sneak to this third floor anyway, and when we view the rooms we are shocked and amazed to discover that this part of the house exists. Every room is fully decorated, but very dusty and abandoned. We literally shake our heads when sharing this repetitive dream. It has haunted us both for years.

I underwent hypnosis and discovered the lifetime that the shared dream was alluding to. My mother and I had been sisters in a previous lifetime. We lived in an enormous plantation house in Virginia (Charlottesville area/Shanendoah Valley). Our father was a slave owner, and we were extremely wealthy. As sisters, our father forbade us from the third floor of the house, which may have had a secret entrance. Our mother was dead, having died of consumption. Under hypnosis, I also recalled our slaves running away. I was horribly distressed that our father would find them and kill them. One returned (who was my favorite), and my father shot him.

After my hypnosis session, I questioned my mother separately re: her impressions of our shared dream. Her conscious recollections precisely matched the details I uncovered under hypnosis. She remembered that we were sisters and that it was our father who forbade us from the third floor. She also remembered that we had lived in Virginia. My name from that lifetime was Abigail Martin, and my father's name was Thomas Martin.

I long to research that area to see if I can find my old identity, but I don't know how. I feel certain that the house must still exist as a historical landsite because it was so huge.

Red Cardenial: You might try doing a genelogy search of the names that you have and you even have an area in which to look. It is surprising what you can find doing a family tree now a days. It would be like doing a family tree, but with those names. Do you have a time period? some time before the civil war, but how much before? Sounds like it would be fun and there are a lot of genelogy sites on the internet now. Just an idea. leonaraven

Thanks Lenoaraven,
Maybe I will try that. I think the year may have been 1864, but I have to go back and check my journal I kept after the hypnosis session.

Dear Red Cardinal,
Another thing you might want to try would be to contact the larger libraries in Virginia and ask if they have a PLATTE map of the area in question from about 1850. (A lot of states did this about then) The PLATTE map shows each piece of property, where it was located, how large it is, and who is deeded as the owner. Some states even have copies of the maps that you can purchase.
catseye

Catseye,
Thank you for your suggestion. I tried to research Virginia geneology yesterday, but got nowhere. I am a terrible researcher, but I will keep trying!

What's interesting about my regression to this time period is that I had really loved one of our slaves like a father. He was an older slave and he paid attention to me, whereas my own father from that time, did not. When this slave ran away, he came back for some reason. Under hypnosis, I looked into his eyes, and stated in surprise, "Oh, he is my soul mate". When my father shot him I was absolutely devastated. In fact, I became ill shortly thereafter and died at the age of 15.

When I was younger, I had a dream that I lived in the old south. I was a young girl and had died of "the fever". The dream was VERY real for me and I woke up crying. I also woke up with a fever in this life - freaked, thinking that I was dying - and never told of the dream. I was pretty young, like I said - maybe 9? - and so I didn't think too heavily on it after that. (Although I hated to be sick and still do, I get panic attacks over it now and cry!) My mom ended up going to a psychic fair and had her past lives revealed under hypnosis. She was the mother of the little girl in that life. After I died, she committed suicide off of the balcony of the second floor of the house. She told me about it when she came home (I was older at that time), and I instantly remembered the dream!

Hi Red Cardinal,

Sorry to be so long. Fascinating memories!!! And the fact that you and your mother share similar dreams/visions -- in my mind puts a whole new spin on validation. I mean when two people experience the same thing...it is much more than just imagination.

I was eight years old in 1854...and in my late teens or early twenties during the Civil War. I hope to be able to post some shared experiences/memories regarding that time period that happened just a few weeks ago with a psychic/healer friend of mine tomorrow.

Have you and your mother ever explored this together in a meditation?

Hi,

My friend Dan is a healer, the same one I did the energy body work with a few months back. We did a meditation together a few weeks ago that really showed me how people can and do actually connect -mentally and sometimes physically during focused meditations.

About ten minutes into the meditation I suddenly felt electrical energy inside of my body, and a strong jolt as if someone had an electrical zapper and had jolted me from the inside out! My body actually jumped! I experienced this in my second chakra and then my third. My energy and inner vibrations magnified and I was seeing a LOT of inner light.

Daniel later told me that was clearing my chakras, and that as he did he saw a golden ring move up from my seventh chakra to the three levels above. I saw none of this, just a lot of LIGHT. It was this experience though that suddenly placed me in front of my home in about 1884...as Clara..... I was in my mid 40's.

I was hoeing my garden in the front of my home and talking to a neighbor woman who was passing by. I looked over my shoulder when I realized I was babysitting my granddaughter. She was playing in the fields with a loose scarf over her head. She wore round metal glasses and was about 6 -7 years old. I knew that her life would be easier than mine. That she had many possibilities in front of her -and her future ...would be better. As I turned to her, I called out her name. Charlene!

As I did, an inner joy I cannot describe grew inside of me. My heart expanded, my vision expanded, I was filled with so much love for this little girl. Then it happened again,(I have experienced seeing others this way before) holographically, just briefly I saw my grandson Lucas’ image over this young black girl.

Tears filled my eyes, and the recognition of her/his soul filled every cell of my being. The meditation ended, with me in tears but so full of love and light -I just cannot describe the feeling here in words.

As I began to come out of the altered state, Dan seemed to stay in it -- ever so slightly. I started to tell him of my memories, as Clara, what I had seen and felt. When he began telling me what my home looked like, the size, the location, the yard; then he described my granddaughter, and her braided hair in pigtails.

Remember, I had seen all of this, clearly! It was like we watched the same movie! He was describing to me what I had experienced. He told me of the chickens in the yard and the large river that was close by. I had described none of this to him, now or from earlier meditations. I said Charlene was my oldest son Eddie's daughter...and then Daniel described Eddie to a TEE! He was a VERY large black man, and very dark, Charlene was a dark coca brown.

I can only say..WOW! What a great feeling to have this kind of validation..and be so filled inside with love for a little girl..who is now my grandson Lucas.

Deborah,

Referring to the "OM" CD......?
Would you recommend the guided CD's (instead of OM ) for past life exploration to someone who has not done this on her own or has trouble with falling asleep during meditation?

HI Tammy,

I have never tried the past life set so I couldn't say. Sorry. I like several others that he has though..the Mystic Bowls is pretty good, and I have the Chakra Technique one too. But of those three I still like the OM CD the best.

My friend that did a meditation with me a few months back (The CHP Officer) always feel asleep in meditations before..but he didn't with the OM CD.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I used to fall asleep when I meditated, but OM worked wonderfully for me.

I have 5 different CD’s from Buhlman, but the OM CD always seems to work best.

Hi,

I am curious if any new members have experienced shared memories.

To tell someone of their past doesn't do much but raise curiosity in the person being told. However, to experience the past life -- to remember it, is comparable to a Quantum leap in understanding! Better yet, to share the experience -- to remember a past with someone, to share your visions and knowing is to raise awareness on many different levels.

Brian Weiss in his new book Messages from the Masters..told a story of a Chinese man that was regressed by Weiss. When he was finished, the man turned to Weiss and asked.."Could you see my experience?" Weiss replied "no" -the Chinese man then said -"what a shame..my master could have."

Etymologically; the word consciousness derives from the word scire (to know) and *** (with). Consciousness is "To know with." To me, this term implies nonlocal knowing; we cannot know with somebody without sharing a nonlocal connection with that person.

Any one else experience shared memories?

------------------
Deborah

If I could make a statement about what is real, the best I could do, is tell you how I feel.

I have had one interesting experience that isn't a past life but a shared dream of sorts. After my Uncle passed away, he would frequently come and talk to me in dreams. The last night that he talked to me, he told me that he would keep watching over me and I would see him from time to time, but he probably wouldn't talk anymore. My aunt (his sister, not his wife) dreamed that both he and their father came and sat in her kitchen and drank coffee. Grandpa had come like this for many years but hadn't spoken for a long time. My uncle told her then, that he would not be speaking anymore. It turned out that we had this dream at the same time.

I have many examples of people I know now from past lives.

One is sufficient. There is a painting of soldier's in the living room of Wilmer McClean of Appomattox Court House , Virginia on April 9,1865. I know every single soul in this life. The reacquaintance occurs from childhhood to approaching dotage.

Hi,

The question Jerry isn't that you just feel you know people from past lives..but have shared visions and memories with them.

If you do, I would be interested in reading about your SHARED experiences.

Renee...that was a beautiful dream experience. Thank you for sharing it. What a wonderful confirmation for you all.

Yes,I have shared experiences with quite a few participants. This included regressions that feed on each other.

How would you rate the following. THis is just one life now and then.

As a child I had an enormous interest in early colonial America. I particularly had an interest in Berkley Plantation.

In an amazing set of events, I recognized my life as a tidewater Virginia landowner named Benjamin Harrison,jr. 1645-1712

A decade before it happened, I was told in a clairvoyant reading by Lucy Saxman in Chicago that I would meet a woman that would take my story much further. I hired this lady as my associate at work. Before long , we were being regressed .

Her present husband was regressed to a Daniel Parke in the 1680's. He was a fop rake English remittance man. My associate was my daughter then and she was married to Rev. James Blair the Rector of Bruton Church in Williamsburg.

Putting it blandly, the rake and my daughter had a dalliance complete with roaring scandal. Parke tried to abduct her from the family pew in Bruton Church in front of the cuckholded Reverend Husband.


In this life, my associate and her husband are largely responsible for keeping me going on the reincarnation thing. Anyway, My associate wound up pregnant at 42. I told them the little girl coming would be my recently deceased older cousin, the former Rector. In this life he was a career Secret Service official. Very bossy. I told the future parents the new little one would refer to herself as "Little Bud". That is exactly what happened. The little daughter called herself "Little Bud" until a couple of years ago. When she was three she telephoned orders on what household chores to do next from her playhouse.

Our lives intersected in lives previous to Harrison and subsequently as well including Tudor England, the American Civil War and the Great War.

This the most dramatic example. I have had similar, but less spectacular, experiences with others.

I think the dream experience I shared a while ago on the dreams thread would probably qualify on this subject. It was a group of us who experienced the past event in a dream and each of us had a different perspective and feeling about the event. Everyone remembered the same event, the hay wagon ride but had slightly different memories of it. Mine was from the view of one of the younger children on the wagon watching the other child fall and then standing huddled in a group of children surrounding her on the ground. I however was quickly whisked away and walked across the field toward home by older children. My friend remembered it from the view of one of the older children, trying to calm the little ones and yet being very scared herself. Another acquantince remembered being the driver of the wagon, trying to take care of the child, revive her and then having to take her body home. This particular woman was very upset by the dream and feelings of somehow being responsible for the child's death. She was also bothered by the image of her being a man in the dream but knowing that it was still her. She was upset about not being able to control the horses and in this life does not like horses at all. My daughter remembered being in the wagon next to the child, listening to her cry during the ride about how she had to pee very bad. She remembered trying to catch the girl's coat and stop her from jumping off the wagon. Another woman remembered just being in the wagon and seeing the girl fall.

We all had the same dream but got different feelings about what it meant to each of us. For the three of us with the clearest memories of it, it was strange that we ended up in this life meeting by coincidence, and working in the same career field caring for children with problems. There was no feeling of being closely connected in that past life other than us all being witness to that event. But, everyone mentioned the same feeling that it felt so real they were sure it must have actually happened.

I've had a few shared recollections.

Mostly it's in bits and pieces with current heartkin. It's neat to know when we knew each other from, but mostly we only remember snippits. Too many to bother listing. But I always look forward to the next!

Blessings~

I have memories of my this-time mother and brother, and maby my ex-partner (who has now committed suicide). But they don't have memories about shared lives together with me.

It's curious that my long time partner has had few visions that most likely belong to me. They are about medieval fortification and a priest abusing a girl. Becouse I don't identify my partner as anyone in my life in (late) medieval England, I have wondered if his visions were telepathicly pulled from me? My ex-partner, instead, said when we were together in England, Canterbury, that he had had a dream before where he saw us near that wall we were really seeing during our trip.

I would love to hear that somebody remembers things that I remember, but maby it's not ment to be. Instead I have had the opportunity to hear other's visions about things in their own past lives. So I'm not alone with my visions and my certainty that past lives do exist.

My brother and I have had dreams and visions about 2 lives in particular together. The first was in Paris around the 1400's. We were in my apartment on the second floor, making love on my bed (we weren't related) and our father in this life, whom I was newly divorced from in that life because he was obsessive and controlling about me, broke through my door, stabbed my brother to death while he was still on top of me, then proceeded to rape me. I first remembered this when I was 19, in a dream, and woke up in the middle of the night. I called my mom and told her everything, and it was so wonderful to tell her, I got my period because I felt such a release. My brother has had visions of my Paris apartment, being intimate w/me, and just that our father did something horrible. He didn't know what he did. We have had a lot of conflict in this life, and my brother and I know we chose him as our father so that we can forgive and heal.

We have had dreams and visions of a life in Montana in the early 1800's. We have done meditation together about this. We were brothers, very close, and he became the sheriff of our town. I was always breaking the law, a real "outlaw". We saw together that he was in total conflict about my behavior, and eventually, because I killed people, he had to hang me. He saw some things about me that I didn't remember, and vice versa. The only thing we kept from that life is a love of smoking. We started smoking as teens in this life, and had to quit in our 20's, knowing it is awful.

I have met several kindred spirits who have had the same dreams as myself about lives we shared, and they had perspectives I didn't have, and remembered lives that we shared that I didn't remember.

Red Cardinal,

You may be in luck. The Martin family were originally tidewater plantation settlers. Their original seat was "Martin's Brandon" on the southside of the James. THey lost the original plantation and moved west about the time of Bacon's war. Martin's Brandon still exists as the most perfectly preserved Tudor house in America. The Harrison's were the eventual owners although Ben Harrison II had his main factoring shipping and smuggling operation at Berkley Hundred. Re read my posts to this thread.

It is a virtual certainty that Thomas Martin was of the same family.
A little history here will help you. Bacon's war was a civil insurrection by the Anglo Saxon tradesman, farmer and less powerful planters agisinst the "oligarchy" that ran Virginia from 1690 to 1865. These people were Byrds, Harrisons, Blands,Carters etc.

The basic problem was that the oligarchs were hiring out slaves as tradesmen. Consequently,the free tradesmen were driven out. They went west to the western Virginia counties and Kentucky. Eventually, the same problem engulfed the entire future Confederacy. The lack of free tradesmen meant the Confederacy did not have a manufacturing base to sustain their war effort.

I am always fascinated by shared experiences, and would love to hear from members regarding Deborah's original question...



Ailish

I had dreams about a past life lover (well, one of many, but this one was special )
This lover reminds me of a friend of mine.
This lover was English (or perhaps Irish) and studied (or was about to) at Oxford.
Lately my friend told me that he's been to Oxford some time ago.
Well, well, what a coincidence

Although he doesn't believe in reincarnation, I told him about my dreams.
(Although I skipped the dark and romantic sides of my dreams)
And he was very eager to know everything about it.
Of course I asked him if he felt home in England, if Oxford was somehow familiar,
and if he had past life memories himself.
He loved being in England, he was impressed by Oxford (this city is something special, he said),
but he doesn't have any memories, yet.

But it looks like that telling him about my dreams makes him think,
and he also asks a lot of questions.
So maybe my story triggered something.
I don't want to tell him too much, because I don't want to influence his own memories.
And perhaps he just remembers nothing.
But he's been British in the past, I'm positive about that.

Curious Girl.

I have found two people here on this forum that have validated my past life memories and feelings. The other one has been very close to me in several lives (hello Aili ) but the other one just lived in the same city and we knew same people. It's possible we met, too, but so far neither of us remembers that. She knew my husband and we had the same friend that was my best friend before I got married and then after that this other members' best friend. Funny!

I know I've shared some past lives with my current boyfriend and some other people "in real life", too, but they don't remember it or I haven't talked to them about it. So I can't say we "share memories".

Karoliina

There are at least 3 people I think I knew before.
But none of them believes in reincarnation,
none of them doesn't have any memories.

My ex-boyfriend was convinced we've met before,
although I'm not sure if he meant in a previous life.
He more or less believed that God brought us together,
that our relationship was meant to be.
I once started a conversation with him about reincarnation,
but he only wanted to hear good stories.
He didn't want to hear anything about karmic stuff.
According to him we could have been Romeo and Juliet,
but never ever common people.

My ex was sort of psychic, so at least he should have seen and known more,
but I think he was not willing to talk about it.
Because he believed in crime and punishment and above all feared the latter

I'm sure that we've had the same kind of relationship in our past life
as we had in this life, with a lot of issues to work out.
I didn't work on these issues in my last life, but at least I tried in this one.
And my ex is still in denial, he thinks that everything will be all right,
without doing anything about the mess that's left.

And there's this "18th century man" who works in an internet club not far from here.
I also had several dreams about him, I think he was a butler or something.
He also seems to recognize me, but never a single word about reincarnation.
Why never anyone walks up to me and asks: didn't we met before, in September 1881?

I think it would be great to share memories and to find validation.
But I expect Oxford to talk soon, he's a sensitive man, open for new ideas
and ready to tell me more about that wonderful year 1881
