I believe that I was an Orca in a past life. Part of a pod, roaming the seven seas (or some of them) – protecting, serving and nourishing family members. Staying close to each-other because the ocean is ruthless and that gives us our best chance to survive. I believe this because I have recurring dreams about this pod – where I am slowly sinking in what seems like the deepest, darkest blue body of water.
Complete silence.
Then, I see the pod emerge from the darkness – they begin swimming all around me with an excitement you feel only when reuniting with a best friend and/or family/loved one after being apart for a while. I hear them trying to tell me about everything I missed since I transitioned to a new life. It fills me with a great sense of calm and warmth. I continue to sink to the sea floor, watching and listening to the pod until I wake up.
I personally believe our souls travel from life to life (reincarnation) – and that a soul never dies. It is an energy that will continue to travel to new vessels and make attempts to reconnect with meaningful organisms and events from prior lives. I think our dreams are a combination of the past, present and future.
Maybe I am just afraid of what some people believe regarding death – just a state of nothingness. We just existed billions of years into the earths lifespan for this short moment, and that’s all. I can’t debunk that belief – but I can say my belief is much stronger that our purpose spans many lives, and is much more impactful than some imagine.
