I have a distinct "memory" of riding side-saddle over fences thru what seems to be English countryside - only thing is that in this life I've never been to England nor have I ever ridden side-saddle. I've always loved horses and dogs and used to ride competitively all the time in showjumping and dressage but I never liked cross-country jumping & avoided it at all costs. I really had an irrational fear of falling when jumping country obstacles, considering that jumping huge fences in a showring never fased me in the least! ops: You ought to try explaining why you don't want to jump a country course with 3ft high fences when you've just been jumping 5ft+ in a showring.
I don't know if this is a past memory or not but believe me the picture is very clear and so was my later reaction.

I've had past dreams of living in an old victorian house. I find I am also drawn to any victorian books,furniture etc. I feel comfortable with the victorian way of life.

I have been having this dream about this guy who is dead and the entire world knows it. I have never heard of this guy before until I had these dreams of he and I being in love and being intimate. I searched for old dead famous people and came across his photo and it said he died. (I am not going to say who b/c I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me.) Afterwards I start to see him in my bedroom, but no where else in the house. I hear him speak to me clearly as if he were right there beside me. He call my name and says he loves me. When I don't have a dream of him he wakes me up. In that process I feel his hand shake my shoulder gently and he says wake up my darling you and I have to be somewhere. We never go anywhere together. When I can't see him I know he is there because my parakeet acts really scared and she goes crazy. I move her into another room and she is fine.

In my dreams, I am some other lady and not myself. And the dream is usually in a alleyway most of the time.

Can you give me any advice as to how I can figure out if this is real? I have tried past life regression methods and always find it hard to relax when I know he is watching me. Thank you so much.

This might sound obvious, but have you looked up the people in this person's life, and you say he's famous so it shouldn't be too difficult to find out, and see if you feel a connection with any of them?

I had several dreams when I was 3-5 years old that appeared to be about my past life, in all of them I was a man and I think it was the early 19th century, judging by people's clothes. In one of the dreams that I saw a few times, in variations, I was on the street in winter in a city, there was a lot of snow, and a group of mounted soldiers in grey uniforms were riding towards me and I was trampled under the horses. I think in one of the dreams I also got shot. I remember very clearly the feeling of fear and desperation.

All my Memories are of New Mexico in the 1850's until the 1920's/30's.
Have many things, would need to add a Thread just for all of it.

I feel like I lived in the court of Henry VIII. That is the only time in history that I am fascinated with. When I was about 11, I was reading a book about Anne Boleyn and found out that my cousin was reading about her at the same time. We both said we thought we were her in a past life. Then my sister said the same thing. It was weird because I didn't even know that we all believed in reincarnation. I don't think any more that I was Anne but I really feel like I was definately there and at least knew her. I was probably a servant or something. That time feels really familiar to me. Since they say that families tend to reincarnate together I think maybe we were all there together.
Which makes me wonder, as famous as Princess Diana was and the way everyone felt like they knew her, will there be a lot of people reincarnated some time in the future who think they were her? Like they will remember familiar things about her from hearing about her in this life and think yeah, that must have been who I was. Or there will be lots of people running around thinking they were Elvis or John Lennon because the details of their lives seem familiar????
Anyway, in the last few years I have been doing genealogy and I found out that on my mother's side we had ancestors who were at the Tudor courts. So that makes me wonder if it's some sort of genetic memory. I think it's called racial memory actually.
Also there are some places and times that I have an aversion to. I don't like the Orient or the American South especially around Civil War times. A lot of romance novels are set during the Civil War but I never like reading about those times. So maybe I had bad lives in those places and times and don't want to be reminded.
Oh, one more thing. There is a restaurant here that is called the Royal Dumpe. They have actors in Tudor costume and do silly things. Henry VIII always makes an appearance. When he came in the restaurant I felt scared. I know that sounds crazy but I actually felt sort of sick and had a weird feeling like someone evil had just walked in.
I also think that I may have lived in the U.S. in the 20s,30s, 40s and was a nurse in WW II when I got killed. I think this because of some things I used to think about when I was really young.

My dream wasn't about a past life, it's about a future life. I dreamed I was about five years old, at a school, and some adult sent me to a store. As I went outside, I saw a man who looked creepy. Me and my friends walked across the street, and this man was following us. I had a feeling he was wanting to kidnap me. We rushed to find the store so we could be around people and this man wouldn't get me. We found the store and it was out of business so we split up to get back to the school. An old couple in a car picked me up, and I was telling them about my past life memories. They drove past a high school and I told them I attended it in my last life.

I also believe I was King Arthur in a past life. It isn't from a dream or anything, it's just a feeling I get. I believe if I go to Northern Ireland and find a certain lake, I will get excalibur.

I don't remember a lot of my dreams yet I have very clear memories of buildings in egypt. I believe I may have been a female priest in the temple of Osirus. I can't be certain though, because of the major language curve. I've found myself speaking a language I don't know and I have identified certain objects by saying things and then forgetting what I said.
