not an original observation, sorry, however although there may well be something in reincarnation there is something rather odd about the experiences of those that undergo past life regression. in particular how many times the likes of cleopatra have not only reincarnated but also replicated themselves. you may well have been a peasant on the banks of the nile with two chickens and 28 children, or a scarab, but the chances you were some wildly famous person seem remote.
well ignoring this detail for now, which famous (or infamous) historical figure do you think you might have been if 'past life regression' has anything in it? (you might as well include semi-legendary figures too - any robin hoods or king arthurs wandering around?)

Eleanor of Acquitaine - lived long, had a really interesting life, though some of it I wouldn't want to have experienced...
I'd say Katherine Hepburn but it's really hard for somebody to be reincarnated when the original was still alive.
How about totally legendary? Madam Pele? She got to live in Hawaii and spew fire at anybody and everybody who ticked her off!

Dawn the magic dragon lived by the sea. Can I be purple?

After much cogitating, navel gazing, agonising and vodka drinking since you posted this, I have finally realised who I was in a previous existence, and indeed, who I still am for that matter. I am (and was) Nobody. I don't mind, though, because, as we all know - NOBODY'S PERFECT!

You have six times the chance of being one of Henry's late Wives. Shudder

You could have been a Mistress (or Mister, not all the power movers were heterosexual nor were they all male) of Court. Royalty back then had no worry about Paparazzi peeping at them from the bushes and could get away with things Celebs today could hardly dream of.

But a scarab? Ewww! That bugs me.

Someone in the Aztec upper class. My mother drew a picture of me one time as such and it looked just like me...

hi Jb blue bunny well since I hate to be singled out, or
put in the limelight,I think I might have been Emily Dickinson as she wrote poems about not wanting to be noticed, and that has always been the way I am also. I get embarrassed if I have done
something or wrote something that made a professor single me
out as an example to a class I was in, many years back. Like
Emily I love to write poetry and enjoy reading it too. I am
introverted and from what I read, she was also. I also althought I really really hope not,might have regressed from Mozart, as I have become a fanatic on his music, collecting just about everything he had composed. but like I say, I hope not as he was a bit of a scoundrel sexually and that is sure not me.

in the past i always have this dream, a large coliseum and i am in the middle of the this, and i am given this task that i need to get out of the coliseum for me win there were spectators shouting, and i was left in the arena and everybody were gone. so i came to research about this and i came up with the answer of Reincarnation.

Yes, i remember every detail, the coliseum/arena was very large, i feel like an ANT as i was running around in the arena. and there were 4 four, huge doors, but i could not open them. when when it was starting to get late, like the sun is setting, everybody was shouting at me, booing me. and suddenly evryone just disappeared, until today this has been a recurring dream, like eversince childhood.

I have had several past life regression sessions in the past. I was a witch or herbalist and nurse in ancient times. I see myself in a cloak or grabbing my cloak and going to festivals or to help the sick or in need. I don't think I had a husband or children because I never see any of them. I don't think I was a even semi-legendary figure.

I guess I don't know what you mean?? This time around? This was a past life regression.

Well I've put Boney aside for now as it was a previous life you know and I don't fancy another stint on Elba. But there is a new generation growing up who I rather fancy is a born military dictator, the cunning traits are already revealing themselves and with an educated guess I'd say he'll start off with a small Island state and work his way up.
