It's happened to me too, maybe two or three times in my life. It's never headline news or anything like that though - just trivial events, which are over within a few seconds.

The first time it happened I was in high school. I was sitting in a newly built classroom, in a maths class, trying to work out how to solve a difficult problem. I was also feeling alone as I didn't get on with anyone in that class very well. Then it suddenly hit me that I'd dreamt all of this, down to the very last detail of how I was feeling, what I could see around me and on the paper in front of me. All this before the place was even built!

I wonder if this is actually quite common, but people tend not to talk about it much for fear of not being believed, or even ridiculed.

I also wonder if that's what all deja vu's are, just that we often don't remember the dream it was linked with.

For being a tiny, delicate woman, I am slightly more masculine than 99% of the males I run into.  It's hard to say if it's because I have an older brother who shaped my brain, or if I've been predominantly male throughout my past incarnations.

Interesting perspective. I'm physically female, but many subtleties of my personality and ways of seeing things are more masculin. I have no brothers though, so that can't be anything to do with it in my case. So perhaps this explains it - I'm just not used to being female.

And to answer the original question, I don't think souls have genders. It just wouldn't make sense to me.

They had to put me in another room until I stopped laughing...so I wouldn't scare the people in the lobby
Sometimes I wish I had more impacted wisdom teeth that needed removed...

Hehe.  Anesthesia is an interesting topic in its own right, I think, as far as talking about consciousness goes.

This is interesting...Never had a dream that changes color. Very often the fact of something happening in a dream has much less of importance than how you feel about it. So, what were your emotions in the dream?

There weren't any strong emotions that I remember, I was just curious.

I guess I was a little apprehensive when I asked about my past lives; I want to know, but I have a feeling that some things I might be shown would be emotionally difficult. I've had a couple of experiences (while awake) over time which hint at that, if they were even past life memories at all - I don't like to assume too much.

It's no big deal, there'll be other opportunities.

Yellow, peach, orange, pink...warm colors, 99% of the time. 
I can tell I've reached a higher plane when I see yellow or bright pale yellow.

That's interesting to me, because I often see yellow patterns in my mind's eye when I'm with someone I feel a strong sense of connection with. This is in waking life, but if I dream of such a person the dream can have a yellow tint to it too. (I'd fogotten about that when I made my other post - it doesn't happen very often).

I vaguely remember my boyfriend being in the room too some of the time, but no one else apart from him. It was quite an unremarkable dream really, apart from the strange ending. I guess I'll just ask again whenever I next get the opportunity, and see what happens.

Interesting anethesia experience. Well, and the other stuff too.

I found myself flying around the room in a lucid dream this morning. At some point, the idea came to me to see if I could get some information about my past lives, so I asked just to see what would happen. At this point, the whole dream sort of started to vibrate, and took on a purple tint. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean (if it means anything at all). It was not quite the response I was looking for... 

I just wondered if anyone else has had similar experiences? Or any experience relating to finding out about past lives in dreams?

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but here goes anyway...

For me dreams have a certain feeling about them which tells me it's a dream, rather than a colour.

Though for some unknown reason, when I was little, I remember a lot of my dreams having an orange tint to them. I guess it was probably for this reason that the vast majority of my dreams, when I was very young, were lucid. (I didn't know it was called lucid dreaming at the time though).

I experience this too, and it happens to me more and more often over the last few months. I agree with you, it is fascinating, but I'm not sure what causes it.

Some people I've talked to about it simply respond: "synchronicity".

I have a theory that I like, but I'm not sure where it came from, so it's difficult to back up:

Thought creates reality, perhaps in waking life as well as in a dream / the astral. You see / hear / experience something new and you notice it. It's now in your mind, in the form of thought, which causes it to be again... and again...

I guess I'm thinking along the lines of The Law of Attraction here.

I'd be interested to hear other people's theories about this.

I don't think good and bad exist, at least not in such pure forms. I also think that one can't exist without the other.

The way I see it everyone, and everything, is a mix of good and bad - some leaning more one way than the other. Though what's considered good for one person obviously might not be considered good for another, so it's also a matter of perspective. Perspective between different people and different times - an apparently bad event can result in a lot of good, later on.

I think love is outside of good and bad. So it can't be either; it's beyond good and bad.

I agree that acceptance is important to be happy, perhaps even essential.

Just my opinion. Hope it made sense.

What kind of site could be considered a reliable source... ?

I just did a bit of googling myself, as I've read about this before. Couldn't find the original article that I read (which may not have been a reliable source anyway). I'll throw in a few links to well known news sites I've found it on though:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,290610,00.html
http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/07/20/us-brain-tiny-idUSN1930510020070720
http://www.lepoint.fr/archives/article.php/193216 (I googled it in French too since one of the discoveries was made in a French hospital).

Though can we trust anything even the mainstream media say? I don't think there's a way to proove (or disproove) that this is true. I'd like it to be though. 

I've had a similar experience, but not with all of these "symptoms", only some. It happened during meditation for me too. I felt as if I'd got a very brief insight into... the true way of things, the meaning of life (I'm not sure what to call it). Very powerful experience.

I find it interesting that you see waves of white and yellow with closed eyes. I see these colours too behind closed eyes! Though for me it's not all the time; only in certain circumstances. I see yellow far more than I see white, and I've noticed over time that it's when I feel a strong sense of connectedness, or love.

I feel lucky to have experienced this.

According to this, it should be possible. It's just a matter of getting the right thought frequencies (or using a laser) : http://wakeup-world.com/2011/07/12/scientist-prove-dna-can-be-reprogrammed-by-words-frequencies/

Hardly suprising really, but an interesting article all the same.

(Hi, by the way. Been lurking a while but finally decided to register and say something).
