I have a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and have studied counseling at a graduate level, and I love dream interpretation. I think people think too hard about them. In my opinion, dreams are purely logical recreations of the stuff you have seen and thought about during the day (in other words, memories) or things that you need to deal with that surface during your sleep because you aren't dealing with them during the day, but they're put into an abstract setting. So, my best guess? There's definitely something going on in your personal space, whether that be tangible or intangible, and it no longer feels stable. Also, I'd guess that there's someone in your life who is quite close to you who is not being his or herself lately, but there seems to be not a whole lot that you either are or can be doing about it. Just a guess, though. I was always more of a Jung fan than a Freudian.  |

Maybe you had been reading about some of the atrocities that occured in the camps during the Holocaust (Buchenwald with Ilse Koch doing her twisted things perhaps?) & your mind was simply trying to process it while you slept? Sincerely, Laurasia |

Ilse Koch, was she the one who made lampshades out of skin or was that Irma Grese? One time I had a horrible dream that we were in line having our fingers chopped off in Auschwitz. I wanted to know if that did happen to me and I was told not at all, I did injure my hand as I tried to escape the lab and the door slammed on it (and after I had made that discovery I had throbbing pain in my right hand to the point I needed to take a Tylenol 3!!). But what I had discovered what the dream was about was that fingers, being ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication were being taken away.. therefore we had no say in anything and our right to talk was out of the question. Interesting how dreams appear.

Ilse Koch was in Buchenwald and she was the lampshade one. I freaking met her while I was there! She was a creeper! I was walking down the hallway of the SS bunker with some laundry or something (I was doing something for my SS Obersturmfuhrer), and she asked me who I was. You could see the sadism in her eyes...didn't like her at ALL!
Irma Grese was the young woman who was a guard at Auschwitz...she was a little b----, too.

When I came face to face with my past life as a Nazi at 19, the guilt was so overwhelming that I went downhill. I actually did drink alone in my apartment- like I did in my Nazi life, and in my life before that in Scotland. In this life, at least I drank alone in my apartment doing something more interesting  I watched "Ilsa the She Wolf of the SS", while getting drunk. Dyanne Thorne's character made a nice comparison to Ilse Koch. I suppose that was therapeutic for me at the time, in some sick way. I have found better ways to deal with my past life guilt. You may have been unfortunate enough to meet Ilse Koch. I had my moments with Amon Goeth who did nothing but mock me, and some of my comrades. I really did hate him. You could also tell he was sadistic- and remember this is coming from someone who was a past life Nazi. After I read "Schindler's List", the description of Amon Goeth in the book was hauntingly familiar. I am not at all surprised to find out what a monster he did become. Bless Oskar. Blessed Be, Andi |

"Ilse The She Wolf of the SS"? I'll have to look that one up, I've never heard of it. As for Amon, I've never recalled actually meeting him during my lifetime as Hans. However my recollections of Hans' life are fairly narrowed down to his work with the Einsatzgruppe units & the camps, so perhaps I will at some later time if we did indeed meet. Anyway....my own reaction to first being exposed to him (via the movie "Schindler's List") was one of being completely absorbed. Watching that movie simply seems to make the real world disappear for me. (So, needless to say, it is a great tool for when I really want to put my mind in the right "place" for recollections from Hans.) And even though I was still unaware of my lifetime as Hans way back when the movie was released I was so completely lost in an unsettled mind-frame & sense of dejavu that I really have no idea why I didn't realize what it was coming from. I just....connected with (not sure if that is the greatest way to put it) his character in the film so much. I really think that Ralph Fiennes did an astounding job of capturing the coldness of us campmen.
Sincerely,
Laurasia

I hated Amon. You must see that movie. It's unbelievable. I know this sounds awfully strange coming from me, but I normally cannot watch graphic Holocaust films if it shows mass graves. I literally become physically ill if I see it on television or in pictures. I believe my extreme aversion to it is from my spirit memories of hanging around Auschwitz. I can read about it though, and 3/4 of my library is filled with books involving the Third Reich.
Blessed Be,
Andi

Did you read the Thomas Keneally's book "Shindler's Ark"? I read it last summer.. it was great.. I have a strong aversion to seeing dead bodies too Ironically that did not come from my last life... because I don't think I saw any!! That came from another life I had back in the 1700's.. |

Schindler's List is a movie that does automatically put me in that mindset, in a way, too, Laurasia. Just because it does seem like everything else disappears and you're back in that world again. Goeth just...torn between still feeling terrified and hate, even though I don't think I actually ran into him in my past life as I wasn't in Krakow or Plaszow.
My mom in this life (who was my mom in my last life too though she doesn't believe any reincarnation stuff) has a very adverse reaction to Schindler's List. She saw it for the first time in theaters, and could never see it again. So when I went to watch it when I was sixteen, she had to lock herself in her bedroom and play music so that she couldn't hear /anything/ otherwise she would lose it emotionally.
