As suggested by Tempation, meditation is a key process in this. I would also begin keeping a dream journal and writing what you have dreamt of first thing when you wake.
readings can be done on past lives. they can tell you what you were like, what status you were, maybe something that you had done during that life. they can not tell you what your name was or what you looked like. and having a reading done will not necessarily provoke you to have memories of your own like meditation would.
Readings are not always completely accurate, but they can pick up short glimpses. If you do decide to have past life readings done, go to multiple sources to see if they pick up on anything that is the same, to help verify what has been said by the other.
But yes, meditation is effective. Let your mind wander, be open to all possibilities. Slowly things may come to you. Relax. Temptation is also correct about placing amethyst under your pillow.
And yes thank you all for the suggestions, i am still practicing my mediation, and i have been keeping a small amythest stone underneath my pillow lately, but i am not sure if i am having dreams of a past life, random dream, lucid dream, visions, or dreams of the future. I am still learning a lot about dreams and my dreams also.
I am trying to do a dream journal, but i am not sure how well its working out. I will keep trying to make mine. it seems like i only draw my dreams out. instead of writing them but sometimes its like i can't remember my dreams and so its hard to journal them if i can't remember them. I only seem to remember certain key points of a dream that sometimes comes back to me at random times after i have had that dream.
Dose anyone else have any suggestions for past lives in dreams? you know what too look for, signs etc. that way i know i am dreaming of my past life.
Thanks everyone for helping out. I really appreciate it. I am experienced with know what which are lucid dreams. I can tell which is lucid while am aware that i am dreaming. Other times when i project i don't remember it as much. But i will try everything that will help me sleep better and practice more with my dreams.
That is a great idea about the dream journal. I wake up several times a night and sometimes they are nightmares. I have this uncanny knack for stopping what I am doing to write poetry on anything I can write on, even napkins.
I have done past life work that took me many attempts, with a faint vision reflecting in my mind's eye like vivid memories relived. I was a nazi soldier last life, and the only other one of my past lives came from when I started having an altered consciousness connecting to the collective. I was looking for divine consciousness similar to Aliester Crowely, when he wrote the book of law, I had a dream days prior to this search and both the dreams and search directed me to a page on Socrates.
This is what I believe was a past life for myself. I had to see those, then the past life of Socrates correlates well to how I interact with people and philosophy of teaching only those willing to talk with him and listen.
Meditate on it, if you truly have doubt that you truly experienced memmories of a past life, than it is more than likely not. If you procrastinate about it too much your mind can alter memmory to better decieve yourself. It can eat at you when you know that questionability, losing out on the experience
Another thing you can try is called "past life regression". Some forms use meditation or hypnosis with suggestions, others use astral projection in which you contact your "higher self".
