Mind and Body - Have you lived before?

I had just got done with doing my weekly house cleaning and was taking a short rest while Ramzi was watching his 'transformers' movie at another tv. I flipped through the tv channels aimlessly trying to find a good show. I came across 'The Oprah Winfrey' show which had just started. It shows the famous Dr. Oz and renowned psychiatrist Dr. Brian Weiss. I clicked the info. button and it talks about exploring past life regressions which is the key to healing fears! Hmmm, I thought it sounded spooky and out of this world! I was curious and wondered what this is all about.

In this show, Dr. Weiss talked about how his life turned around when he took a new patient named Catherine. Catherine suffers from panic attacks, phobias, fears, nightmares," A year of conventional treatment gave little progress. Dr. Weiss decided to try hypnosis, a therapy he'd used successfully before.When he asked Catherine to go to the source of her pain, Dr. Weiss says he was shaken to his core—Catherine regressed back and started talking about living previous lives!

The reason why this story caught my interest was that I had one strange happening that I could not verify till today if it's for real or just a haunting dream. It happened in the early 90's and I lived alone in a 2 bedroom house that I rented before moving to my own house. It was a humid afternoon, I had my front door opened with the garage gate secured in the front. I had my radio turned on and I laid down on the couch trying to take a short nap. My radio was just within arm reach on the table where I was napping. In my conscious or sub-conscious mind, I heard my radio went 'clicked' and I see myself got off the couch, but seems like there are 2 of me, because I see myself still sleeping on the couch and another standing looking down at myself napping. I felt kinda weird, seeing myself on the couch and another standing looking down at 'me'. I walked to the kitchen and wondered if this is really happening. Just to make sure this was real, I looked to my left and saw my fish tank aquarium. I tapped on the fish tank and it shocked the fish in motion. I thought, Oh No!... this is for real... I rushed back to the living room and still see myself sleeping and I tried to wake 'me' up and suddeny I heard a loud beeping sound. I was awakened by my next door neighbor's commotion. I woke up in thick sweat and fear and felt delirious after this bizarre dream or whatever you called it. It feels so very real and right after, I called a friend and told her what I've experienced. Till today, it's still vivid, like it happened just yesterday.

Very strange indeed. It reminds me of all that stories about near death experience...where people could see themselves lying on their hospital bed from 'above'.

When Mother Theresa was asked by a journalist one day "Do you believe in life after death ?" Her answer was "I don't believe in life after death, I KNOW there is life after death, the souls that I meet everyday...they have to go somewhere"

I don't know, subconscious mind...souls...dream.
