Reincarnation
Just don't go overboard with your skepticism until you've studied the evidence, that's all I'm saying. Occam's Razor applies! (Occam: "If many theories all fit your data, go with the simplest"). When your dreams TELL you something's literal, not symbolic, it's worth listening, that's all. No matter how many so-called friends make fun of you, no matter what some experts somewhere write... your own experiences are the primary source. Experts and theorists are secondary.
A few dreams here are of the rebirth of whole communities, civilization... worlds. If enough of these accumulate I'll split off a new subject list for them, but for now...
