when asteroids approach certain points (natal Moon, S Node, Asc, natal asteroids) in my chart, i re-member past lives... are you aware of transits that may have activated your experience? have you contemplated how the stars impact spontaneous regressions? thx for sharing!
Becky, you bring up such a fascinating point about asteroids and past lives. You are correct as Chiron in Aries is aligning with my chart right now. In that Parliament lifetime, my individuality was suppressed and this is part of what may be healing and transforming now, as I mentioned I can speak up in this lifetime in ways I could not then. I also tend to spontaneously recall past lives when I encounter similar circumstances between now and a previous incarnation, if the opportunity to benefit from or pay back karma returns from those times, or if I reconnect with people I knew in that lifetime. I will often experience more than one of these aspects (recurring themes, karmic realisations, or reconnecting with people I knew before) at the same time. Thanks for sharing your insight.
In a way, I would rather not want to come back. Not because the world isn't a wonder but one might want to quit while more or less ahead, considering the terrible short straws that so many poor new born/reborns can and do draw. However. Not up to us one way or the other. I was cooking late lunch one day, stirring a pan on the stove when suddenly the walls "zoomed out" and I was in an altogether kitchen. The walls were stone, there was a large wooden trestle table. door to my left that stood open and the sun was lowish in the sky, streaming in. I knew that I was upstairs and that a steep set of steps led down to a shared cobbled courtyard. I was wondering where "Pietro" was, and thinking to myself that he should have been back by now and I don't know anyone who has that name. I felt somehow that I might be in Siena. Then it faded and I have never seen it again since. Strange. I guess I was in alpha state, or maybe deeper, stirring that pan.
Hi Katie-Ellen, Thank you for sharing about this experience! What a wonderfully detailed and realistic vision and memory. It's interesting that you went into that state while you were cooking. It's also notable that the experience you entered into was in a kitchen, albeit a different one!
I've also had that thought about the possibility of being reborn into difficult circumstances. Statistically, it seems there are more who are suffering than not. At the same time, like you say, it's not up to us what happens! It's all a great mystery. I'm just so glad we get to be here now. Also for moments like this, hearing about other people's experiences in different states of consciousness....and the adventures that are possible to explore with our minds. I suppose that, no matter how or where we end up, one thing we all have in common is that ability to experience different states, whether that happens in dreams, meditations, or the kind of self-hypnosis you experienced. Fascinating!
Admittedly I don't know a lot about this topic. I wondered if this dream could be telling. I had a dream two nights ago that my dad who passed in 2020, was there and alive and he admitted to me that he faked his own death and had been alive all this time. I was hurt and angry at him in the dream. I asked why he put me through this grief and pain. He didn't seem sorry or apologetic at all. He told me he had become a lawyer (he was a nurse in life), that he had gone to law school and was working cases, but now no longer can practice law. Intuitively in the dream I seemed to know he had gotten in trouble and lost his license/ability to practice. This was a career so out of what I'd expect for him. I'm trying to understand the connection. I rarely dream of my dad. Do you think something like this could point to a different lifetime for him? or a current one? Given in the dream he had "faked" his death? I guess to it could just be unresolved feelings for me.
Hi Dani, I appreciate your patience while I took a break from responding to comments on Substack. Thank you for sharing your dream with me. I'm sorry you are having to cope with the loss of your dad. I may have mentioned to you before that I also lost my dad in 2020. He visits me in dreams, too.
In terms of dream interpretation, there are no experts and there is no one and final analysis of a dream. Dream meanings are dynamic rather than static, so the meaning of this and other dreams could change for you over time and in the context of future circumstances and perspectives. There could be multiple interpretations, and it is possible for one of them to ring true for you. It is often a process that is explored between the person who had the dream and a therapist. I learned about dream analysis in my hypnotherapy training and can offer one (but not the only) technique that has worked for me in analysing my own dreams.
The system begins with asking questions: 1) When did the dream occur in your sleep cycle (soon after you fell asleep, middle of the night, or early morning?); 2) Were there any physiological influences that could have influenced the dream (eg illness, medication, watching tv or a film before you went to sleep that might have contributed to details of the dream, etc.). <---I don't believe this is the case for you, so I'm assuming it was a psychological dream and therefore we can analyse it; 3) Were there timing clues in the dream? In other words, how old were you, and how old was your dad? Was it set in the present time, past, or future? If it was in the past, what time period?; 4) The fourth step is more detailed: what was the content of the dream? How much was symbolic, and how much was literal? Since your dad was not an attorney in real life, we would take his role as a lawyer in your dream to be "symbolic" of something; 5) Step 5 is important. What were the emotions in the dream? Also, what were your feelings upon awakening?; 6) What, if anything, was being 'vented out' in the dream? It sounds like grief was one aspect of the venting/'healing' process; 7) What in your present life may have triggered the dream? <----This technique was developed and is taught by Hypnosis Motivation Institute.
If you're comfortable with answering some of these questions, please reply and I will be happy to give you a further explanation of the dream based on this method. Thanks, Dani! :)
