Memories of Atlantis

The other night, when my internet was down- I fell asleep on the side I don't usually fall asleep on, and I had some very vivid dreams.

I was a young girl, a street urchin, spunky as anything, who didn't think twice about stealing to survive. She wore a simple cloth dress if you could call it that. It was more like a cotton sack with holes for my arms and head- it was all one thing- and I never wore anything under it.
The memory is set around a marina of sorts, with modern-like buildings built right up to the edge of the water, with hardly a space for a street, let alone an alley. The only spaces open to the water were places like bridges, and mooring for boats and ships. I spent most of my time in the water, or on the thin, wooden pier that served as sepration between the water lane of boats going in, and boats coming out. It originally made me think that this place was Venice, Italy, but I doubt any of it citizens ever looked like I did back then, or wore what I wore. Not to mention, something about the place just told me that this wasn't Venice.

I never made it past 12 years old, and I was probably the first victim of the wave that came. I was swimming in the Marina when suddenly the water went down at a fast and steady rate until I was standing on the earth that had been under the water, exposed to air for what I was sure was the first time, the wooden pier standing mightily taller and higher than I, taller than any of the building I had seen, some of which- looking around- stood on stilts, coming off of a rock foundation. Not too far away from the rock. Just about a building or so, at the widest. There were various bits of sea life clinging to the wooden pier, and other surfaces around me, and then a shadow was cast over me, and I looked up.
"That's a big wave..."
My name was Mae, said 'May', and I woke up very suddenly, my heart beating fast, clutching the bed sheets. I asked myself questions, and the answers came easily. My soul was very young then, this was one of my first lives, if not THE first.
Neither was this the first dream I had, centered around this strangely-shaped marina. For some reason, I couldn't shake the feeling of being afraid. That dream was very vivid. Was it real? It felt real. Am I the only person who remembers something like this? I don't know. All my friends in that life by that point had died, from starvation or disease. I was the only one who lived that long, probably because I was the only one who wasn't afraid to take what she needed.

Does anyone else remember Atlantis?
 
That picture would've occured soon after my time of death, if anything, but I have to say, Ghost of Grumby, you may be right.


In answer to your question about the modern day city thing- yes, some of the buildings were quite reflective, which gave me the idea of it being modern, as modern day cities are quite reflective.


I looked up Lisbon, Portugal on google maps, and in the satelite version, I could see what the landscape looked like. It does look rather like it used to be one whole landmass, doesn't it? Like it got hit by a tidal wave and flooded everything, and all the water is only just barely starting to seep out again. Not to mention, if you look at the coastline under the water, it looks a bit like people used to live there. Of course, that may just be my imagination kicking in, but yeah...
 
Another Atlantis story


I have had several lives in Atlantis.


One that I remember was on that fatal day.


Atlantis was a beautiful city.


It was at the edge of an ocean.


I troubles me that you appeared to be in such a troubled condition.


I recollect standing on a grass covered hill waiting to meet my wife.


I remember being in some kind of park with white pillars around it.


While waiting I heard extreamly loud thunder from every direction. Then, huge towering waves appeared from all directions. My life ended.


Thank you for presenting this.

Note


Ah. I'm looking back on a note I made after waking up from that dream, and I had written a question: 'What happened 6,000 years ago?'


Honestly, my views on Atlantis are kinda... well... I'll just talk and you'll find out.


My view is that Atlantis was the world before this one. You know how they say that the world will end next year. It makes me wonder how many cycles the world had been through, how many times the earth itself has reincarnated. I'm certain that even if the worlds DOES end next year (which I'm taking a wait-and-see stance on), it will not be the end of us. We will bite the dust, and a better human race will emerge, and we will re-incarnate into that new-and-improved human race. Nobody knows for sure, and I know my thoughts are pretty radical, which is why this is the first time I've put my thoughts into words.


I remember asking myself: 'Why did you die?' - 'We had gotten too big.' - '?' - 'We were wiped clean because we had gotten too big.' I believe that what was trying to be said is that we made way for new space, new things to happen. You can't evolve if you're stuck in one place. So we were removed.


Forgive me if this is too radical to imagine.
 
Hello Iamadreamer, Very interesting dream. We've had discussions on Atlantis in the past and unfortunately some of them have drifted into some weird avenues. The reality of ancient and lost societies is that they are... lost. The only thing remaining is their myth. To me these ancient societies may have existed in some remote way, but factual and scientific data are gone. We do have an archeologist on our staff and I'm sure Sunniva will way in too.


Something created those myths... there is a reason Camelot and Atlantis are still talked about. So I believe there must have been some basis, even if it were simply a story told by a creative mind over some ancient campfire. I am always watching the TV for programs that claim to have rediscovered these places. Its like a treasure hunt that will reveal great secret as to who we are. And perhaps, like suggested above, this dream was in a place who's history rhymes with the myths of Atlantis. I don't know.


I believe that in our spiritual and human journeys we are led by a Force greater than us. And like your quote line says "My bloodline isn't important. What is are the memories of my soul." What we see and know of this world is not as important as the soul's journey. Weather Atlantis was real or not, what does your dream teach you. What are you learning from the karma encountered?

As warned, here I am :D


I think it's incredibly important to keep an open mind when trying to validate memories such as these. Before turning to Atlantis, which is only based on myth, there are many other times and places where simiar things ocurred.


It's most likely that the myth of Atlantis is based on a real story. In about 1400 BC a volcano erupted on the (now) Greek island of Santorini more or less blowing the entire island up, leaving it completely inhabitable. The shape of Santorini today is the result of this eruption and for those, who manage to flee and tell the tale it must have been the biggest tragedy in the history of man. The eruption not only destroyed the island, killing thousands and burying the cities under thick layers of dust. Huge tsunamies are believed to have reached the shores of Crete, Cyprus and the Middle East. This event even had a huge impact on the weather conditions for years to follow - the dust have even been measured in the ice cores of Greenland.


Plato must have heard of this event, it was probably already a myth in his time, and its most likely that he had this in mind when he wrote about Atlantis.


I'm sorry for the long post, but my point is just that that there are many paths to walk that are historically correct and thus also possible to validate.
 
Atlantis is an eye-catching name


Yeah... I know. Departing from the mystical, I wonder if it's possible that I lived off the coast of Japan? South of Japan. There's an underwater city somewhere around there I've heard. Do people- or really- do you think that young souls travel very far from the location of the prior life? Get used to the world before they get more adventurous? Like a child?

I think that in the bigger picture it doesn't matter, which locations your lives takes place in, so - yes, I think that your soul can travel very far from the location of the prior life :) Although it seems that 'the soul' (or whatever it is that reincarnates) often goes with what is familiar. I have personally only had past lives in Europe with one vague exception of a past life in the US. However I've heard others, who have 'travelled' far and have experienced life in many different locations all over the world.

So, maybe it might help to think about the myths and such we identify with? That's what this thread seems to be saying.

I'm not really sure I understand your question? :)
 
It's a statement. Don't toss out the myths; as the other posters showed, sometimes the stories contain possible memory in them. The myths that attract us might do that because they remind us of a past we wouldn't otherwise remember.


So what myths attract each of us? What might they tell us about ourselves?
 
It's a statement.

Sorry! I got confused by your use of the questionmark : angel:D


I think I get what you're saying now :) And I quite like your sentiment.


All myths contain an element of truth in one way or another, so yeah, we might get attracted to certain myths because they remind us of something.


That being said, to me it's quite like looking at medieval art. I get a kick out of the old Flemish painters. Not because of the religious motives, but because they're like snapshots of the medieval everyday life - clothes, objects, furniture etc. I think the myths are the same. You have to look beyond the actual story.


In Denmark we have a famous chronicle written by a monk called Saxo in the 1100's in which he tells the history of Denmark from very early times and up until medieval times. It's generally accepted that it's a work of spin, ordered by the king, and that the stories are just myths and have no basis in reality. However, the chronicle is still important, because Saxo wrote it and even if it doesn't tell us what society was like in the Iron Age, it tells us how Saxo thought it was, and thus how his own society was.
 
Sorry about the confusion, Sunniva! :)


There are certain myths that have always been important to me that turned out to be clues to my past lives. Ovid's stories of Metamorphoses in particular, the book itself, had great meaning all the way through my lives, at least those I remember, after it was written.


I've always felt there are seeds of truth in the stories of Atlantis and Lemuria, though I don't think the actual places existed. But that doesn't matter - the stories stuck in the collective mind, from generation to generation. There are clues there, waiting for some people.
 
I have always been attracted to Greek mythology and the Greek myths in general. They trigger memories of my life in Greece, perhaps also because the same stories were around back then.
 
I'm with both of you guys on the importance of AND the potential of myths. They are in someways a residual memory of something distant. And isn't that what we all know reincarnation as? A residual memory cropping up into the now. Is every detail we recall factual and true? How can we know?


Just thinkin' out loud:rolleyes:

Scientific research on memory shows that our memories are always creating fictions, in our present lives - that makes past life recall even harder! I know of two cases where it seemed the person was remembering a past life, but there were reasons to think the recall was reversed: they seemed to be cases of murderers remembering themselves as the victims. Since, psychologically, murderers do sometimes see themselves as the ultimate victims, this isn't really surprising. But boy it makes the research harder!:freak:
 
Gumby, that's a possibility. Precognition of events like this often have a dreamlike setting that pulls images from the memory of the dreamer to warn of the event. Only when the event happens do specific clues in the dream make themselves clear.
 
I wouldn't go that far unless there's other reasons to believe it was a premonition. It's events like these in fact that confirm they must have happened before, hence stories of once great places now under the ocean and floods that covered the world.
 
Looking Backwards,


I would. That's how my precognitions shape up. As I wrote, precognitive dreams use images from the dreamer's mind that don't seem to fit until the event happens.


In today's news from NBC a story by Ian Williams, who has reached the seacoast town of Natori, which was almost completely destroyed by the tsunami:

There was one other unlikely survivor – a dog.
We were looking across one of the lakes left by the tsunami covered by burning debris when we saw what appeared to be a man carrying a dog. By the time we caught up with the man, he was joined by a woman who had the dog on a leash. She was really emotional and said, “I can’t believe it. I am so happy.”


The dog was called “May” – a girl. They lost her as they scrambled to leave town when the tsunami hit and they had just gone back today to look for her. There she was rustling around in the remains of their house. They don’t know how she survived. She looked pretty nervous – she was shaking – but she made it through the earthquake and the tsunami somehow.

I have pastlife memories of Atlantis as well. Told I incarnated there in 8 lives. One in Knossos. When I look at pictures of whats left of it...I have a lot of recall!

Knossos was a town/palace on Crete. It has nothing to do with Atlantis ;)
 
I hope my post of doubt didn't offend anyone - I was still a bit shaken by the news and had received other sad news that same weekend, so I may have been a little terse. I was also a bit worried about the OP getting anxious.


Plus, I've had dreams that make me wonder, or I've even just said weird things out of nowhere even I can't explain. Like when, right before 9/11, I saw a plane flying and said "we're going to go to war." My friend thought I was making a sick joke, but I didn't even know what I was saying. I just... said it. So I do think it can happen.

Considering what has happened in Japan with the 8.9 earthquake and tsunami, was this a premonition of this event? NOTE post made date 3/1/11

Ghost of Gumby said:
Yes I thought this seemed like a premonition because of the Atlantis connection, and I know that this is a separate and very different detail in I am a dreamer's experience, yet the connection made to Japan only 10 days before the terrible events seem more than a coincidence to me. I think that many people who have past life memories also possess the gift of premonition. I know that I have had several disaster premonitions also. I think there is a connection here.

Well... I wouldn't be surprised if this was a premonition. When I woke up after the dream, it had scared the crap out of me, pardon my french. This wouldn't be the first time either.


When I was at a friend's house, walking in the woods, it felt like I had walked into an invisible wall. I was in danger of being attacked by a bear. I couldn't go any further if I wanted to. I sent my friend's little brother and sister back up to the house. They practically turned on their heels and went. I only barely managed to convince my friend to guide me back to the house, saying that I needed to pee, I wouldn't go in the woods, and I didn't remember how to get back. His older brother went on, and I told him to be careful.


When we were back at the house and my dad was coming to pick me up, I saw the older brother come wobbling out of the woods. He was fine, just shaken, as he had taken shelter up in the treehouse they had been taking me to. It was out of the bear's reach, thankfully.
 
Sunniva,


Actually there has been some theories put forth that the legends of Atlantis were founded on the volcanic event, the Thera explosion, that destroyed Knossos in about 1700-1500 BC. It certainly makes more sense than most ideas put out there. Plato wrote of the legends a thousand years after Knossos was destroyed.

Just to go a little OT here:


Regarding premonitions: I play Dungeons and Dragons. I enjoy the story-telling aspect and my friends enjoy stepping outside of reality once in a while. One night my story took a turn where a major war was about to come to the good guys' home. My major bad guy made the war declaration "official" by hypnotizing two massive dragons to fly into the crown jewel of the city, the twin "Liberty Park Towers". This led to my epic war and forever changed the face of our imaginary world, and not for the better.


That was the evening of September 10, 2001.


For Atlantis, I believe it to be a work of fiction based on actual events. I don't believe Atlantis to be any more a real place than I do Tatooine, Krypton, or Mongo. I do agree with the sentiment that we should probably explore the myths and legends that attract us the most and learn the connection.


For example, I do love Dungeons and Dragons and the classical stories of knights, dragons, elves, etc. Fairy tales have always been dear to me, and I love reading ancient folklore. Grimm's Fairy Tales, especially the most recent movie about it, is tops in my book. When I'm playing D&D, I often draw from these sources. I also, however, draw on what could possibly be memories from previous lives. Indeed, some of the characters I create are drawn from PLs. Some are drawn from people I feel that I knew "back then". But things do get confusing. I sometimes get scenarios dancing through my mind that I can't differentiate between a PL memory surfacing, or just my mind elaborating on something going on the game's story.


I believe my draw to the game is based on lives long gone. Deep, dark forests and places of mystery have always called me like nobody's business. I may have even "bought the farm" going off on some fool quest to find a werewolf, only to find that nature has plenty of predators on her own without resorrting to the supernatural.


I'm just impulsive like that, I guess! : angel
 
Memories Of Atlantis


There is probably no historical document that is more often quoted and then immediately contradicted than Plato's Atlantis story. This story is not well understood today nor is Egypt's mysterious legacy. Atlantis and Egypt are related.


Plato himself may not have truly understood what Atlantis really was, its origins, or how long it lasted before the final destruction.


It is only relatively recently that people are beginning to realize what the Great Pyramid in Egypt really is. This pyramid was at one time a working machine that created a circuit of energy between the stars and the center of the Earth.


That's why conventional Egyptologists do not understand why certain components were built into the pyramid like the so called 'air shafts'. These things can only be understood if the pyramid is viewed as being a machine.


This is all explained in the book:


The Giza Power Plant : Technologies of Ancient Egypt by Christopher Dunn (Aug 1, 1998)


There are other aspects of this pyramid which are equally mysterious as is the entire Gize necropolis.


These are the remnants and legacy of a super race.


People now realize that the three pyramids at Giza correspond in relative size and position to the three stars in belt of Orion as those stars appeared over Egypt in 10,500 BC, not now. This is indicating the true date of construction which is much older than the Egyptologists think.


The Atlanteans were a red skinned race and they created a reddish colored metal called 'orichalcum' which had mystical properties. I suspect the various objects that the pharaohs carried around, as well as Moses' staff, were made of orichalcum.


Edgar Cayce refers to this metal as a sort of 'tempered brass'. We today do not know how to manufacture orichalcum.
 
I did a 'search' for Atlantis and found this thread. I'll see if I can find something more appropriate as well, but, let me start with saying that I've always had an affinity for crystals. From as long as I can remember, I loved digging in the dirt as a little girl, looking for treasures. A recent past life regression told me why. It seems I actually lived on Atlantis and the city, which truly existed, was very technologically advanced and it ran on crystals! AND I was the highest teacher in the highest learning center for those with special gifts.


The regression showed the end of that life. A certain element of that society was focused on the 'red' crystals that were the basis of all and were not to be disturbed. They felt they could gain some sort of power by using them. All of the students and teachers of course, with their clairvoyance and clairsentient powers, left and many went to Egypt and other areas, knowing that disaster was imminent. It seems that I chose to stay, to try to stop that those people, but alas, they won, gained control of the crystals, made bombs that cracked the fault lines under the city and caused a massive tsunami that destroyed the city and killed massive numbers of people. In that life, I was furious with those people, who did not do the right thing and who did so much damage. It seems that I have carried that anger and intolerance of those who do wrong into this lifetime. It's something I need to overcome, but it's really excellent to know WHERE it comes from. Knowing where it came from is the first step in repairing the issue in my life now. And many thanks to RJMarzano for the info on the book: The Giza Power Plant. There seems to be a definite connection between Atlantis and Egypt.


And of course, it shows why I love crystals so very much.


Since I'd never done much research on Atlantis, but truly have never had a doubt that it existed. The Reuters link above was excellent - thank you, Blueheart. I'm going to research this further. A friend mentioned a book that gave a valid account, but I need to verify that and track down the text.
 
Interesting. I've heard stories about Atlantis before. I've read a lot of nonsense written about it too. But the stories that ring true to me are these stories of a large, civilization (not just one city) pre-Egypt that was very high-tech, but destroyed itself through the folly of a few foolish people. It could be argued our civilization is in the process of doing the same thing, so not that far fetched!


It would certainly explain a lot! Certain advances in mathematics and medicine, astronomy and more seem to have suddenly appeared in Mesopotamia and Egypt out of nowhere, but that has always been doubtful to me. I always thought a lot of the things about Egyptian civilization appeared to be remnants of something older.


Did you have the regression with a practitioner, or on your own Susan?

This was with a practitioner. She's quite good. I touched on, I think, 6 different lifetimes where trauma from those lifeteimes have been affecting this lifetime.
