Past Life Flashback

I had the most interesting dream last night. It was based on the information from the book "Journey of Souls" about watching "movies" of possible future lives in the large theater in the spirit world. I was part of the scene as well as being aware of how the scene would unfold, but there were differences. The original scene that I watched: I was part of a nomadic group and had run into trouble with another tribe (we were hebrews and they were arabic) because of my independence, stubborness, and troubles with submitting to authority - does any of this sound like me? I didn't think so ;-). My clan chieftain and his wife were upset with me for causing this problem and I was being banished from the group. I was leaving behind gifts of beautiful cloth that I had to try and ease some of the anger. It helped and they kissed and embraced me and said goodbye.

When the scene replayed itself in my reality, my clan was not so much angry with me as frightened for me and they were helping me to make a secret escape from the group I was in trouble with. I still gave them the cloth, but they were very sad to see me go. I remember in great detail the clothes I put on before I left. I had some sort of beautiful, embroidered, wine-colored vest that I put on over my gown and buttoned up the back. I also had a blouse/top made of a heavy, drapy, ivory material, with lots of embellishment and lace. I also - and this was quite out of character for me - braided my hair in two braids and covered my hair with a kerchief. I cried because I knew that my beautiful clothes would be battered into rags by the end of my journey. I went to say goodbye to the chieftains wife. There were lots of tears and hugging, and through my tears I laughed and said "Look, I even covered my hair!", as this is what women were supposed to do, but I never did. I was crying and telling her that I would never see her again. When I looked in her eyes, I realized that I have met her in this life as Janet Klockenga. (Janet is a lovely lady, a dear friend, who lives in Illinois)

I woke up crying and with the realization that I had been given the gift of a past life flashback. It was also very curious to me that the scene that played out as "reality" was different from the exact scene I had watched beforehand, telling me that I had made some sort of changes that modified what I had seen originally. I still had to leave, but there was more sadness than anger attached to it..
