My buddy James is a real skeptic, he just won't have anything that I may tell him that I'm experiencing, he just takes it as I'm nuts. Today, while at work (we work together, doing odd jobs for his retired neighbour) we were havin a break, and the topic of past lives coming up. I asked if Dave believes in past lives.. James just won't have it, thinks I'm nuts. Dave is all knowledgeable and about "being reasonable". I asked Dave, and he said "Well, you know... I do believe in past lives. I once had a recurring dream when I was young. The dream was that I was in this mass black plane, just nothing but blackness, and I was running, and someone was chasing behind me. I'd have this dream all the time, I couldn't figure it out, then it came to me that the person chasing me was my past life. I thought I was the only kid who believed in such a thing. (he was about 5 6 7 8 I dunno, around there though I guess haha) Then once, we didn't have a TV then (he's 63 now :P) and I would watch through my neighbours window, their TV sometimes. Once I was watching, and there was a man and woman on the TV speaking of past lives, and that they're called 'Re-incarnation'. I didn't know that I wasn't the only person in the world possibly, that even thought of this until I seen that television show".

So.. lets recap real quick..

dream of him running from someone, he doesn't know who. Running in a mass black... nothingness. (As soon as he said a re-occurring dream, of a mass endless blackness, I KNEW IT was something like this. Something real, lucid)
he realized.... OUT OF NO WHERE (guides?) that it's his past life.
He leanrns of past lives as 'Re-Incarnations', possibly years after he realized the person chasing him was his past life.

Was indeed very interesting, hearing that coming from someone who wouldn't take any of that phony baloney... stuff..
