My name is Alexander, and I live in my dreams. I'm not talking about being crazy and living in a delusional land of make believe where horses talking and cow give off chocolate milk. I mean the I actually live in my dreams.

It started when I was three years old. I dreamt of walking along the cobble streets of Rome, I was a centurion in the Roman army. There was a riot and then I woke up. Over the years I had hundreds of dreams like this. Not in just in Rome, but Thebes, Jerusalem, Waterloo, Budapest. In each dream, I was a warrior. Every once in awhile, I could change the outcome of a dream.

At the age of eighteen, at the behest of my mother, I went and saw a fortune teller. She told me that these dreams were in fact passed lives.

So, now, it is every night, when I close my eyes, a live in another life.

Wait, how did you know about Rome, centurions, etc. when you were three?

And do you go through a whole life, one scene from the life or what?

The implications of your dreams suggests some kind of relation to a past life---but if you can influence past events, it's not simple reincarnation. Looks like you'll have to make an effort to figure out the how and why of these dreams, Alexander.

At three, I didn't know what they were until I grew older, but while I dreamt, I knew what I was. I'm still trying to find the best way to explain how it works. While I sleep, I know the knowledge of the life I'm in. And it's only parts of the life I live in. So far, there's been three different parts of the Centurion that I've lived.

It's not really reincarnation. The best way to describe it is "
restrictive time-travel," I guess.

The reason behind these dreams are that I missed something in those life's. At least, that's what the fortune teller told me.

If you can influence the past in what we're all tentatively calling "dreams," how can you guarantee you won't change something that will eliminate you-here-in-the-now?
