Could you dream about your past life? Well, maybe not dream about everything that happened in your previous life, but some memories that were probably close to you in your previous life?

I don't know how reincarnation or past lives work. Is it possible? If so, how would you know? Thank you. I really appreciate the help. :D

I have had many recollections of other lifetimes through dreams.  Particularly about: the 1960's and Venice beach, as well as other things about the 1960's, that was my last incarnation, Egypt, Scotland or Ireland (one of the two, maybe both)  and other places I am speaking Latin.  It seems more frequent now that I am older.  The dreams started in childhood.  Some things I dream about I can actually look up in books on history, and my dreams are correct.  I wanted to check and see if it was just weird dreams or if these things really happened, and it turned out my dreams were right...

I think it's possible. But I'm not sure why we dream about things that happened in past lives.. it might be to warn us of something, or to answer some sort of question that you're asking subconsciously. Who knows :]
Yeah.. I'm pretty sure it's possible. I don't think you're insane. :P

You can absolutely dream about past lives.  Children are especially good at it.  I think that if you are drawn to a certain era, location, person, etc., people have concluded it's a possibility that your mind is taking you there for a reason.  

Do your dreams parallel any part of history you feel drawn to, or even interests you.  I am of the belief that coincidences are more rare in these cases than actual gut feeling.  

I think reincarnated life keeps coming back just so that we finally are able to overcome are obstacles.  

Anyway, many (if not all???) of the books I've read look to dreams as clues.  I just wouldn't rule it out.  

If you have any more specific questions, I would be interested in anyone here culd help.  

I have very vivid dreams but I usually have this confusion which perspective am I having...maybe some past life dreams should not be directly interpreted..more on ponder on the underlying feelings that it evokes?

just my opinion
