Can you remember your past/parallele life ?

[Schizophonia]

I sometimes have horrible dreams, especially when I force sleep with drugs. The common point is that it is regularly attacked/destroyed, with the implication somewhere that it is a tribal war. I've always had problems sleeping (not necessarily infomnia, but "night owl"), and hypervigilence.

1st example: I dream that I am sleeping, but suddenly my house is attacked by armed people, and I am about to be killed in a murky, almost psychedelic atmosphere, extremely high in adrenaline.

2nd example: I am in my house, and a black person is trying to break in.
I knock him out several times but he ultimately comes back with armed friends, and I have to fight them.

3rd example (this night): The pov is a kind of camera, I don't know who to identify with.
I understand that I am in the middle of the Rwandan genocide and suddenly, I see someone being brutally killed in the street.
The Hutu had a sort of short machete and repeatedly beat someone's skull with all his might until he broke it, the unfortunate man was in a sort of trans because of the pain.

I could try to do a classic Freudo-Lacanian analysis but that would only tell me where I am currently in relation to the energetic issues involved, not their origins.

There are other dreams, it always revolves around the same racial war scenario, and now I have surprisingly precise information ("Rwanda war").

"The massacres will reach new heights of horror. The scale of the massacre (in three months, 1 million people were killed according to the Rwandan authorities after census, 800,000 according to the UN78 and the OAU), its cruelty (pregnant women were disembowelled to kill the fetuses, the violence sexual violence is frequently used, killings take place within mixed families, sadism manifests itself in many cases) and the number of perpetrators make it one of the most atrocious events of the 20th century. Conversely, Tutsis had their lives saved because Hutus had taken the risk of hiding them or giving them food79."

What an horror

I don't have access to my past lives either, but I think that one way to know more about them could be to meet people who have psychic abilities in this domain (such as accessing the Akashic Records, doing past life regressions or whatever works).

I've been to a therapeutic healer once who told me out of the blue that I had been a monk in my (or "a", as I didn't ask) past life. The funny thing is that I had the intention to become a monastic and I had lived for 9 months in a monastery with that intention. I hadn't talked at all about that part of my life with her before she told me that. And she then said that it was not too uncommon to go back to what felt familiar (and good in the past), though it turned out it wasn't the right path for me in this life.

Now I feel the need to know more about my past (past lives, but also childhood, as I have very few memories of it, and even of my ancestors, like my father or further back, as certain things are transmitted from generation to generation). I think that understanding and getting to know the past better will help me to move forwards.

So my suggestion is to look for methods to do it yourself or if you can't, look for people who can help. I think that it's pretty easy to know if someone has real psychic abilities from someone who does not, so that's not really a concern - but obviously it's important to be mindful and if possible, to check with different methods and/or people.

Have you ever tried one of those methods - alone or with the help of someone? It could very well be dreams from past lives but it could also be something else. It might be helpful to have other methods to verify this if you can. Though, that is just a suggestion as I am not an expert in the domain.

I study Lacan and the analysis of dreams.

No, I don't. But I haven't searched for books. I listen to Matías De Stefano as an inspiration and I exchange with people around me who have that kind of gifts and can give me direct advice.

I'm not very familiar. Does he also touch the topic of reincarnation? Because your question is more about that than about dreams in a sense.

Several times during my dreams i saw an infinite catalogue of past lives. It was a giant honeycomb structure with different heads / lives inside each hexagonal section. I zoomed out from the centered one where my current life resided and then took a dive into couple of sections. Apparently, I was a native Indian woman on a prairie farm hanging washed clothes. Other lives I dont remember.

 

I had experienced this twice but it was completely random and I cant tell what was the reason for it.

No precisely. All that dream analysis can tell me is that the appearance of this scene betrays insecurities, energetic issues still ongoing in my current consciousness.

There are times where I'll have thoughts where I imagine some place, and it brings up a very specific type of place which seems like it's a real place, but I can't confirm ever having been there. Or there will be times where I imagine events that I couldn't possibly have experienced (like being killed in a particular way), and I'll create a surprisingly vivid image of it in my mind, as if I'm recalling a memory.

Trivially, we know that previous experiences influence imagination, and likewise, imagining a specific scenario will draw on specific previous experiences. If I were to imagine being killed in a grotesque way (e.g. in war-like scenario), the most relevant memory for that would of course be experiencing being killed in that grotesque way. And considering the potential amount of previous lifetimes and the probability of having experienced such a death at least once, it seems likely that these experiences could've informed the imagination given the existence of past-lives.

I could send you over some past life regression sources I have found. I have not tried it my self but I have been edging this concept. Regarding the dreams, if you had similar events as the fears you are re-dreaming, like if you forgot something (particular thing) in your life and it really sucked and you are from time to time dreaming that you forgot and experience the fear of forgetting in different scenarios, I think it's 100 % from this life, however. I have at least one dream experience that is not related to any particular event in my life and it happened when I was very young, but then it stopped. I series of dreams of missing unconnected series of stairs where I couldn't go up and down. While reflecting on that I see that there is more to it than a re-occouring fear, but I am yet to dig into it further. It feels more like a dark night of the soul experience that I lost the connection with life and what I want to do with taking this birth.

From the comtemporary Gurus I listen to Osho and Nithyananda were the only two whom I know that gave techniques for recalling past lives for people who are not enlightened. Maybe the Sanskrit Channel on YouTube also has some info on that. Every spiritual master who has talked about this topic have in some way expressed that upon enlightenment you know all your past lives.

From their perspective the problem is that we are very affected by the karmas of this life. Remembering how we died and lived could make it worse.

Some gurus also say that past lives are of no significance to you like Sadhguru for example, but other gurus do not say that. I would also be very interested to find out some of the details of my past lives as I think it's acctually powerful and it acctually could free your cognition from the conditioning of society. Now, that would be dangerous for the current form of governance though, haha.
