Child's Past Life Memory Story

As a kid I had a recurring dream about a shark attack. I think I had those dreams when I was between 3-5 years old. Since the memory from womb was also bugging me during that period (it bothered me because I didn't know what it was at that time), I'm tempted to believe that shark attack dream was memory of my death.

I was under water, able to breath, but somewhat close to the surface. Sea was perfectly clear, light blue, there was sunlight and there was absolutely nothing anywhere near me. All of a sudden a shark appears and bites off bottom part of my body. Then I would wake up, quite scared and shocked of course.

I remember many dreams, but this one was unlike any other. I don't think I talked about it with my parents. My grandma used to live close to the beach, but I only used to play with pebbles and in very shallow water... and I don't recall anyone ever mentioning sharks. As a grownup, I LOVE swimming, the sea (ocean not so much :) and ANYTHING related to it. I get rejuvenated just by looking at water. But I never swim far from the shore because it terrifies me that I don't know what's underneath me.

Advice

  • Be supportive and encourage them to talk about their dreams.
  • I would assume that most kids are confused about such memories and can't really tell where they come from.
