Dream/past life question?

Question

I had this dream about a little over a year ago and I'm in this house with a lot of people around the same age as me it felt really sad and heavy, but really familiar. It was old around the 17 hundreds I would guess.

I didn't really think about the dream until a few months ago when I had a dream that I was in the same house again. The dream was still really sad and I felt like I was missing something.

When I woke up I realized the dream took place in the same building as my other dream.

I just thought I had an over active imagination and forgot about it until last night when I had a dream that I was stood outside this old house and my mother was there pointing to a sign that said the house was an orphanage and it had the date 1758 on the sign. This dream took place in today's time. My mother was stressing the importance of me seeing the sign.

I would have just thought I have an overactive imagination but I feel uneasy about this.

I know its strange, but what do you think?Thanks

Answer 1

this dream may express something about your subconscious - Jung had a similar dream with an old house.

Answer 2

It seems likely there are some sadness in your life and maybe you do not feel a part of a family or at least feel somewhat estranged from the family or maybe a group of friends.  The dreams suggest some of being in an orphanage that was very sad.  So it would suggest a feeling of being separated from one's parents.  It is also interesting that it was your Mother who was pointing out the sign making me wonder if there are some problems between you and your mother.  Or maybe there is a distance between you and her that you would like to correct.

Dreams are individual affairs.

Answer 3

a lot of the time, i have a recurrent dream about anything really.

other times it felt like i've dreamt something more than once but i really haven't.

its normal

Answer 4

if your picking up on strong emotions with this dream, im going with the past life experience. sometimes those come out in our dreams, and when its recuring thats probably most likely. do you meditate? this would be an awsome thing to meditate on. we learn things about our selves and lives purposes through our dreams and past lives.
