Just For The Record

[poliphilo]

I was living in a haunted house. I went into a room where an invisible old man sat muttering in a corner and saw a soldier in uniform lying on the floor. He was  aged about thirty, thickset, foreign; I gathered he was a prisoner of war. He got up and we walked into the village together. He said he was from the East, from Vienna and that he'd fought for the nazis. By this time it was plain to me that I was female and he and I had an emotional connection. We went into a cafe where a much older woman greeted him and then it all started to break up...

It was one of those dreams. Very vivid.  I woke up and thought, " that was really important." So all through the rest of the night I kept waking to check the details to make sure they were still clear in my head. Then I come to  write it down next morning and  there's nothing to it. So what's going on? Is it the garbled memory of some past life experience? That's what I'd like to believe.

it sounds like a past life experience to me...unlesss of course you have been watching an old film, reading war books...etc, which could give you the 'memories'. I don't think HP has any such scenes ..lol

I have a similar one - but I am male, old, Jewish... and I have had the same dream/memory since I was a child, it's just a snippit... leakage from the past. Thoiugh I can still feel the emotions etc.

The details could all have come from books, movies etc; what made the dream stand out was the feeling that this unprepossessing, German soldier was somehow very important to me.

I get dreams like this every once in while. The content is negligible; it's the strength of the emotion that counts.

There was one a year or two back. I was in a manor house and my "friends" were all there and I was overwhelmingly happy. It was if I was back where I really belong.
