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.

I'm curious as to where there is something specifically about priesthood that relates to your 'deeper' identity.

I rarely pay attention to dreams but you know, this one really fits you and is rather eerie if you think about it.

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.

I like the idea that you can dream of your previous selves. I have certainly had dreams where I was myself but not this self in other times. I was so happy to see my friends and relatives again, and so sad that it had been so long.
