As I understand some people awaken inside with dreams and flashes of a past life or love, myself being one.
What caused yours to start and what are they of the dreams and flashes?

ive never had a past life experience unfortunately, so i cant say that i believe it or not

i don't no if this answer you(i think it don't)
when i was a little child(4/5 years) i used to talk when i was dreaming, and everybody could know what about i was dreaming... and fot that years, i started to have my first "true nigthmares", i mean nigthmares so easy to understand, decipher and real as if i was there... so our leaders, tought it was better take me to a psychologist, that treated me very nicely, and teach me out to see the meaning of that dreams, the truth is that we had to tell the psychologist that we had(and have) vampires on our family...
passed a few time we understud what it was and just when i was 10 years old they told me that it was about my past life... and a fact is that my family already knew it and feed me with blood, almoust sence i was born... and when stopped(when i was 3/4 years because problems with society) i started to have that nightmares...

as i said, i don't know if it helps... but i hope so

I always thought that I was in a castle somewhere in midevil europe. A prince or ruler or some one of noble blood. I have always been drawn to that. Sometimes I get a feeling that I was living in a castle far away overlooking a village. I guess maybe I will never know.

I know I have had two past lives at the least, one I have found most about through myself and the spirit realm.

The one I know more about:
I was a man living in europe. I was a doctor of sorts. I had a beautiful wife that I was betrothed to early, she was quite the sour woman though. I could clearly tell she was with me for my money. My family wanted me to marry a catholic woman though, for my family had roots of being clearly pagan, but were trying to stamp it out and exile the rest of the family that wanted to stay pagan. So, to make them happy, I stayed with her.
One day I was sent out to see a patient at their home, and when I saw her it was like the room melted around me. We locked eyes and just seemed to connect for a moment, she was obviously a soulmate of sorts. I helped her, and began visiting this woman as often as possible, speaking with her through letters or in person and keeping secret from my wife. The girl was a witch, and spoke to me often of magick.
Eventually, about a year later, my fantasy lady vanished.
I waited for a long time, about a year I think, and I got a letter from her. My wife found it first, and of coarse read it, and came to me calmly and said she wanted a divorce, handing me the letter. I didn't see my wife for the rest of the week, and neither of us really cared. The letter told me of why she left - apparently there were families in the area that found out she was a witch, and she became frightened that she might be killed. She fled to america hoping for peace. She wept her heart out to me in the letter, sending me all of the sorries in the world. I decided that I had to go to her, took what money I had and somehow made my way to america.

I eventually found her, and housed with her, married her. We found a priestess and went through a pagan wedding. I learned and delved even more into magick, and myths.
Then we were out and about at a park I believe, somewhere green, and we were abducted by extremists. We then were taken to a warehouse, tied together, and burned.

A lot of this is remembered through meditation and dreams. I don't details, I don't even know if some of these places are correct, but it is what I have found.

Through tarot, I have seen that I apparently have another past life where I am a woman, but the cards always tell me that I can't ask for the information because my mind is refusing to let myself know. I do have odd dreams still that seem to much like a memory, but they are so scattered and strange that I can't piece them together and understand who I was.

As for my past life having an effect on me, I think it has in it's own ways. I figure it has helped me get into magick a lot.
I think my other past life is tied in with vampirism somehow though. I don't have any other explanation as to why I settled into my craving so well. I just understood everything going on in my body too well.
Did it awaken me? Maybe. It has been too long for me to know. During that part of my past, I did not remember my dreams- maybe a past life flashback that I could not remember sent my subconcious into movement.
