How about this Steve. You will within 24 hours of reading this remember something of your childhood that relates to your dream, perhaps a part of the dream that you didn't tell anybody.
I know the person is from a past life. I don't know how I know I just know. What does it matter anyway how I know. Some animals, insects included, have incredible instincts, they don't know how they know either. If an animal can do it why not a human being?
Goldwolf The only experience that i can relate to you about my childhood with regards to dreams is this: When i was still a child i used to have nightmares. One nite i made the decision that i wanted to stop them. i reminded myself every nite before going to bed that i would wake myself if i had a nit3mare. So when i had a nitemare i would hear this little voice say "Yes but you are only dreaming" and i would wake myself. In this way i rid7ed myself of nitemares.
