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

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,

each time that I woke up, my heart raced and I panic like, “was that real?” (Because they felt real) I do have a general anxiety disorder, but I don’t know how that alone would make me react that way. What do you all think? Why do you think I freak out like that when a guy, mostly a guy friend would touch me in that kind of certain way? Especially when I’ve never been sexually harassed or raped before in my entire life. I don’t freak out if a girl touches me, so I know I don’t have a phobia with

of people touching me in general especially since I like giving hugs to friends and family and like receiving hugs from friends and family male and female

Believing in past lives = delusional.. Its just dreams and your mind telling you that you're obsessed with it.
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 delusional.
im sorry i place my beliefs in real science not idiotic dreams or past lives nonsense.
So you’re an atheist
Atheist?*
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.
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.
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.
