It is behind a veil. It can be remembered especially by children who's past life ended in trauma, an unfinished business. Usually it goes away with age. Recommended then to work through it. Can be triggers that causes it for both children and adults. When I had all of mine I was not a believer of past lives/Reincarnation, took me several years before the idea of it being so being presented to me. Then even further for me to finally embrace the idea of reincarnation. I demanded much evidence if what I experienced was really true.

For me, as a child, how I experienced it before it would actually replay in my nightmare/s (always the same nightmare) was a sort of pressure on the back of my head, this could happen days before. Then I would be lost in that world, in the dream, when it came but it was not only the pressure on the back but these other feelings I could not pin down to my own feelings, my own identity but somehow I just knew in a way this was me. The details from some of it I found out later had happened prior and at the moment of death to my past life self. I however did not want it to be about a past life. Rather something else. Just when I was older and it had gone away, I truly dreaded this nightmare, I tried to think it was only that, a nightmare. I had no adult that I could turn to that would try to guide me in thinking this was past life stuff. Then I was to be triggered by other things, and these memories of this other individual would show up now and then too without me having any idea why. I was afraid to talk about it. Also so many times I did not think it was of any interest. I can't say it was a time fashion in the memories that I was particularly drawn to at all, I had no fascination. If anything I remember after having one flashback of how a man was dressed that I thought it was disgusting. I did not understand that this man's way of dressing was "cool" back then. I think it is hard the older you get to know is this past life or is this something I have picked up somewhere but forgotten about? I try to always be critical. There have also been past life regressions that some report have been fake, thus only imagination, so one has to be on the look out.

I personally did not think once the idea was presented to me that this is your past life (I was like can't it be someone else's?) that it was something that was meant to happen. I thought somehow the machinery had failed to work with me, as I was having this, and this was a life that was finished with, and that it in fact stood in the way of the peace I thought I would have else had in my own life. I thought there must have been some mistake, this should not have happened. If so we would all remember our past lives. I think it is too much to ask for the human brain to remember everything from a past life, we are in the bodies we are in now, the mind we are in now, and if nothing shows up, then to me it is finished with. I have been given glimpses of some people in my life who I suspect or think resemble people from old time ago, but I never tell them, as I think that is for me to keep.

One woman I know - she came to me in my memory years before - and she was dressed in a way, her collar, apron, the hair - everything - as if she was working in a kitchen in a huge apartment flat so on the second floor or so ,I would remember going upstairs, and that had been where she had been at. When I later was to meet her she was to say she felt this instant likeness for me, and me her, and it has felt as if all is as it should be.
