    I’n not sure I believe in reincarnation for many reasons, not the least of which is since we don’t retain consciousness of our past lives, there’s no way to actually improve over the life you supposedly lived over and over again previously.

    Yet as a kid I had these wild dreams of things I hadn’t yet any knowledge about, such as certain heiroglyphic texts I encountered which I later learned were actually genuine artifacts in the real world, and the dreams I always had of walking by hot river at night, nearly naked, with palm trees bent by the hot winds - night after night, the same dream.

    It might not be past lives at all, but some stream of collective consciousness that exists inside all of us at some cellular level, or memories that exist in the collective environment we all share.
