A Past Life?

[poliphilo]

I had a dream last night that might just incorporate a past life experience. 

I was with a catholic recusant family. I wasn't aware of any details that would date the experience- though I presume we were in the 16th or early 17th century- nor was it clear how I stood with the family: I could have been one of them or merely a friendly observer. One of the sons was about to journey to Rome to train as a priest, accompanied by an older man who I took to be a  steward or trusted upper servant. This older man may also have been going to train as a priest. There was an atmosphere of heaviness and secrecy. 

So was I once an English catholic priest- charged with restoring the old faith- an agent of the counter-Reformation?  It would fit.

How intriguing!

I went through a spate of having dreams set in Victorian times but I haven't for a few years, it's been rather dull without them.

This dream wasn't datable by the costumes or anything- only by the situation. I'd like to return to it and see if I can find out more.

Did your Victorian dreams make sense? Did they seem like memories of a real life?

I suspect they were more influence by novels. They seemed quite story like in parts.

I have had deja vu quite vividly a number of times though. I don't believe in reincarnation but I'm sure I have caught wiffs of someone who was there before me.
