Do you have any memories/indications of a past life?

I would love to know if anyone 'remembers' anything from a past life, or if you know someone who does. Or maybe you've had an experience similar to mine with a child? When my son was very young, he was afraid of water. Irrationally afraid. Even when there was no water in sight. He had never been in a large body of water. The strange thing was, he'd been in a swimming pool with me and was fine with that. A couple expamples: We bought a boat on year - he must have been about 2 years old. The boat was parked in back and one could see it from the glass doors in our living room. He flipped out when he saw the boat - screamed and begged not to let the water come and to please, please make the boat go away. The child had never been on a boat in his life. One evening, his dad had taken him to see his great grandmother. Grandma met them there. When they were leaving, a couple was having car problems, so his dad was going to let him go with Grandma in her car so dad could stay and help with the car. They went to put him in the car and he refused to get in, grabbing the edge of the door, kicking, screaming that he didn't want to 'go in the water!' They got him in his carseat, and Grandma brought him home to me, where he cried himself to sleep saying that he was so glad the car didn't go in the water. He is 10 years old now and the only thing that scares him as far as water is floods. He asks every time it rains if it's going to flood. It just makes me wonder.

is that dejavu, when you remember past life? well sometimes kids gets scared without any reason at all. for us parents there are no reasons but for them i am sure there is. something that made them scared but they dont know why or maybe they have a bad dream about it. children has this fears that sometimes they dont like to talk about.

I do know what you mean about getting scared without any reason at all. It just was never 'bad dream-ish' to me. Totally different situations brought on this fear. In one instance, just getting into a car, and in another a boat in the backyard. It's just strange. Thanks for your response! Blessings!

I know not what it is, but since my childhood, I have been dreaming a deserted country house. That I have never seen in my life, whenever I dream the same, I feel I went back to my previous life.

A dream of a house. And it's deserted....interesting. Funny, dreams of a house can represent your soul, your inner self, your beliefs. When you've had these dreams, have they happened in stressful times of your life?

That would make me wonder too! Maybe had bad dreams of it as a kid? I don't have any indications of a past life though people who meet me and are into this kind of discussion topic think I am what they call an "old soul" since I do not act like most people my age and seem "wise beyond me years"...I have no idea if they are right though, lol.

I've met people whom I call 'old souls.' I know just what they mean when they tell you that.
