Wow. That reminds me a lot of dreams friends have told me about... Dreams of past lives, like of being warriors in feudal Japan for instance, that are amazingly detailed. Although the people I've heard these things from could easily have made these dreams up, I somehow doubt it. It's a recurring theme and I think there might be something to it. The idea that we can access things with our minds that we usually think are impossible to access is just... incredible. But it's just so hard to really look at these things objectively. We're not outside observers, looking at consciousness and how the human mind really works and interacts with the environment. We're very much human and we're stuck inside of the system. I don't see a way in which we could look into ourselves and figure it all out, especially when one gets into metaphysics and starts questioning whether or not what our senses tell us can be trusted.
