Could it be true that In a past life I think I was sexually harassed, tortured, and raped a lot? (Read below)?

[Anonymous]

I’m currently 20. Since I was 16, I’ve been having nightmares of being sexually harassed, tortured and raped a lot with random men in different scenarios. I’ve NEVER dealt with any of this for all of my current life. Recently I’ve noticed that I freak out whenever a guy (like one of my guy friends) touches me in a weird way. What I mean by in a weird way for example is touching my leg for some stupid reason (to make me think a bug is crawling on me even though bugs don’t freak me out) and when I looked down and saw my guy friend running his hand against my leg like a spider, I freaked out yelling, “WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TOUCHING ME LIKE THAT? DON’T DO THAT!!!” And tonight my guy friend was stretching his arms up and then it totally look like he purposefully rubbed his hand against my arm and I freaked out the same way saying, “WHAT THE HELL MAN? DON’T TOUCH ME LIKE THAT!!!” And my friends were like, “woah, calm down (my name)” and I was upset in a way saying, “I’m sorry, I just don’t like being touched like that anywhere on my body with a guy for some reason. Except if it was a boyfriend cause then I’d obviously wouldn’t freak out) cause with my first boyfriend (who broke up with me a few months ago), whenever he touched me (as in run his fingers against my arm slowly or rub my back slowly) I never freaked out like I do if a guy or most likely a guy friend touched me. I don’t get why I react like that. I’ve never even been abused by a guy ever in my life. The only thing that feels like there’s some sort of connection is that when I worked in a restaurant the assistant manager told me to clean the guys and girls bathroom. I was fine with the girls room but I was shivering and refused to go in the guys restroom with the thought of me being the only woman in there whether or not a guy or guys were in there. I’m thinking that maybe in a past life I was sexually sexually harassed, abused, or raped by multiple men one at a time in different ways? From the three nightmares,

Whether or not it's from a past life I think you should see somebody about and talk it out with them, not just a friend but like an actual professional. Because whether it's from a past life, repressed events, or some sort of underlying fear talking to somebody who's a professional can really help you sort out your thoughts. Good luck, hope you find peace!

It' not necessarily that you had a past life, but, what it could mean is that you have some enemies in your life and fear being attacked

or

You have a desire for sex, even though you think you may not

Or

You dread or have a fear of being exploited

or

You have ocd and fear"being dirty"

or

You already are sexually active, and the fact that you're dreaming about being raped etc.. is based on the type of sex you have (rough sex)

or

You're dealing with some sort of inner conflict, which is resulting in "violence" against yourself

Read up on it. It's interesting

Sorry I do not believe in past lives, you only get one chance to get it right... I think because your old boyfriend did it and now you two are broken up it freaks you out when another guy does it because it reminds you of him. Subconsciously of course.

[joenelson]

Reading books, dreaming about past life is okay, believing in it is stupidity. And kinda living it in your current life is a strict no.

While I am not saying that what you feel about guys wrong touch is wrong. You should definitely raise your voice against it.

But thinking that you have been sexually abused in the past life and so reacting that way in every situation is not correct I think.

Dreams are just a sequence of images of what we think, see or feel that our subconscious mind collects and represents it as dream.

So don't worry about them. It doesn't matter what happened in your past life. Even if its true you can't change it. Just live and enjoy moments from your current life and that should be all good.

Hope this helps

It’s talked about in Christianity so either you are not aware of it or are practicing a different religion. Also, people study in college as a therapist for past life regression, so I don’t think something that can be studied in college and earned as a degree that people pay for is stupid.

[Neko911]

No it's definitely stupid. And therapist who use it are bad ones and are taking advantage of sick people

[Neko911]

No. I don't even need 2 read the detail. The answer is no

[blutwolfe]

Not really, more like anxiety

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Could be a repressed trauma of some sort from early childhood.

[Asker]

Like I said, I have never had a trauma like that all my life. I remember my childhood very well and never experienced any trauma

[Alexandrubaschet08]

Only if you belive in Buda.
Whitch i don't. So i will say NO

[_SOARER]

Do you watch pornography? it could be that.
It could also be because its something you fear, have seen on television etc.
My advice is to try and clear your mind and dont let those nightmares or fears control the way you think. Those are just dreams.

[genericname85]

nope. either you were raped this life or you weren't. you may have some negative experience or trust issues in general. i highly suggest seeing a therapist about that. no shame in getting therapy!

[AmeerX]

Oh no way that happened

[Asker]

It did

[Asker]

If you are talking about me having those nightmares and whatever happened with that guy friend.

[AmeerX]

No, I am talking about past life thing. And you should not feel too much about it

[EyesOfGod]

Maybe you are just mentality insane. Are you gonna call ever man who touches you a rapist "because in a past life i think i was raped and abused, so have had a fear of men because of my dreams."

[gemgem]

Maybe you have suppressed memories of sexual abuse.

[Asker]

No, I’ve never had any sexual abuse in my life. And I remember my childhood very well

[Pete671]

Yes, imho you were traumatised in a previous life but didn't come to be at peace with it then, and came back to the earth plane too soon, ie before you resolved the issue while in spirit,,,

[AcidT0y]

It's more likely that you have dreams about it because you're just scared of it happening to you at some point.

[Bang5luts]

I think it's much more simple than that. Your first boyfriend breaking up with you was probably traumatic for you in some way whether you realize it or not and now you're afraid (for some reason) of being with another guy or you are afraid of your own hormonal urges and not being able to find that one special guy.

[korey182]

i don't know but i'm sorry

[Mossberg500]

No but it's probably true that you are off your meds, or need to see a psychiatrist to get some.

[OddBeMe]

There is no evidence of past lives. So I would guess you saw a porn clip that traumatized you- lots a weird shit out there. Are you having sex? At 20 it should be a normal occurrence :)

A psychologist may help suss our your issues. Regardless of the source, whether past life or just forgotten trauma. Just focus on the here and now.

[Tstrbrainer]

There's no proof of past life.
And I think you should consult a psychologist or sexologist.
It might be something that happened in your childhood that you don't remember or it's just an anxiety.

[MrTaboo]

No, just no

[dav133]

There is no evidence for past lives but you may have been abused and your mind has blocked out the memories

[smldkman90]

Maybe you are having fears

[Anonymous]

Ummm no.

[Anonymous]

Believing in past lives = delusional.. Its just dreams and your mind telling you that you're obsessed with it.

[Asker]

It’s talked about in Christianity so either you are not aware of it or are practicing a different religion

[Asker]

Also, people study in college as a therapist for past life regression, so I don’t think something that can be studied in college and earned as a degree that people pay for is delusional.

[Opinion Owner]

im sorry i place my beliefs in real science not idiotic dreams or past lives nonsense.

[Asker]

So you’re an atheist

[Asker]

Atheist?*

[Opinion Owner]

No, just choose rationality over faith.. The first law of reason is this: what exists, exists; what is, is; and from this irreducible bedrock principle, all knowledge is built. It is the foundation from which life is embraced. Thinking is a choice. Wishes and whims are not facts nor are they a means to discover them. Reason is our only way of grasping reality; it is our basic tool of survival. We are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss that we refuse to see. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reason's light. In rejecting reason, refusing to think, one embraces death.

[Opinion Owner]

People are stupid. They can be made to believe any lie because either they want to believe it's true or because they are afraid it's true. The mind is ruled by psychological biases. Such biases twist the mind into believing some things are true, when they are not. Two of the most powerful biases are hope (or, described differently, optimistic belief that something may be true) and fear. When someone hopes something may or may not be true, such as that a friend did not betray him, then he may actually believe in a lie told to him by another, or told to himself, that the friend did not betray him, when in actuality the friend did. Similarly, when someone fears something may or may not be true, such as that one is not competent enough to fill one's job responsibilities, then he may actually believe that such is true. Instead of allowing biases to twist one's brief, one must try and escape the effect of the biases and determine the actual truth of a situation.

[Opinion Owner]

In this case you're allowing your fear to control you..

Oh and as someone who is degreed in psychology to the PhD level.. Let me tell you, those that specialize in past lives, hypnosis, and psychic stuff are seen as a joke among real psychologists such as my self.
