Are you sure this isn't his way of suggesting you have children? Because that's an incredibly unfair position to put you in, if that is indeed the case. I can't imagine for a minute that having or not having children would impact your chances of reincarnation.

I don't think medical issues have to do with past lives, necessarily. They just happen. Think of it this way: All kids are different, and have different needs. I'm not trying to downplay any of your challenges - truly, I am not. I had a lot of medical issues growing up and it was very...

People have always "mixed." Always. They mixed with the Neanderthals, which is how, some scientists believe, red hair came out. Swedes and Norsemen "mixed" with the Celts. Who then "mixed" with the Normans. And physical features have evolved over time with and without help. Assuming your...

Mostly, I think we can't really know. In a larger sense, I believe in something similar to the traditional Christian concept of Trinity, but not exactly spot on. I think God exists as both a sort of force of nature and as a true being. Sometimes I am inclined to believe that one Being is Jesus...

A Mac or Mc name is possible, as a lot of people in the south are of Scots-Irish descent. Have you ever felt affinity for a particular state? (Keeping in mind statehood was very important back then, although I don't believe not having feelings towards something means it isn't possible.) I...

I think he just said the lamp looked worn as his dream progressed? I don't really know too many details, but my impression was that he's single and childless. (Or was at the time he posted it.)

I realize this was thirteen and a half years ago (!!!), but I found the story fascinating and was wondering if there were any updates?

Bumping because I'm curious. Especially when it comes to coma dreams. On a reddit thread, I read about one man who saw an entire life - a wife, a son, and a lamp(?). When he woke up he was crushed because none of it was real. I always wondered if that was PL related. (The man did not offer this...

Backreading, and I just realized I ended the post with "the other interesting thing is that I don't sleep." Ominous.... my guess is I meant to erase that, and not everything was erased. I'm not 100% sure what exactly I was referring to, but I definitely sleep! I still wonder if my PL didn't end...

What an amazing memory, Deborah!

English was very different in Shakespeare's day (though technically modern English - "Early Modern English"), let alone the late Middle Ages when this seems to take place. Would you say it sounded almost like a mixture of German and French? Because that's essentially what Middle English was...

(This is possibly controversial, so if the thread's closed I understand.) I was reading a Reddit thread about coma patients' dreams, and some of them seemed possibly PL related. (One person thought they were old, another thought they were French.) I've also wondered about hallucinations, or...

Possibly. For some reason ghost stories sometimes make me cry. It's not that they scare me or worry me, they just make me teary, which in turn makes me wonder....

I think some of it is hat everyone has different experiences while being young. Youth isn't innocent for everyone. You don't know what your next childhood will be. I also worry about being young during a war or other major crisis. Having said that, I like to think that I might reunite with...
