Reply #9: I have had a series of [View All]

recurring dreams that have led me to be convinced that I died in the Holocaust. The dreams did not start until I was an adult and had already been very fascinated by it, by stories of the concentration camps and the like. In my dreams -- and they are all rather different from each other so I don't think any of them are a direct memory -- I am trying to protect someone younger than me who I always clearly understand is my youngest brother in this lifetime. Invariably we are killed. When I first started having these dreams I thought it was a strange manifestation of my interest in that era, but as they happened over a long period of years, I have come to the conclusion that they're triggered by what actually happened.

And then there's this odd memory I've always had, that involved being under a wooden something like (what do you call boards hammered together like a fence or a raft, but not being used as either one of those?) and rocks being piled on top. I was alongside a man I understand to be my father in this lifetime. I have always been puzzled by that memory, and it's a very brief one. Then, several years ago I read of something called "pressing" in which people were put under a wooden thingy like I described and rocks piled on top until they died.
