Is this the first time you've been here?

Have you ever had a dream you couldn't quite understand? Maybe in a language you didn't speak? Or in a land you've never been to? I come from a family of dreamers. My mom always stressed to me how important dreams are and as I grew up one of my most family parts of sleeping was dreaming.

I always remember my dreams. The ones I remember in most detail are what I call my flashes. Glimpes I get of what I believe may be my past lives, my other lives. One I I'll never forget is of a young girl, in a castle in Scotland. I remember walking up a curving flight of stairs to the tower, the fear making made my gut clench because I knew what waited at the top of that tower.

I've never been to Scotland. I've never been in a castle (lol besides the one at Disneyland and that one hardly counts) so how do explain away the dream? Because the girl was me and I was the girl. I felt her emotions, lived her life and felt the same bone chilling fear because I knew what we had done and I knew there were consequences to pay for that action.

That dream wasn't the only one I had like that. My most personal story every written, the one that took the longest to write, the one that stripped me bare and allowed me to hide nothing is Make Me Remember. I started this book about 10 years ago. And it started with a dream. A dreamt of a girl running from danger and falling into the lap of the most dangerous man she'd ever meet. He wasnt a danger to her physically but emotionally and mentally because he was the other half of her soul and she wasn't ready to face everything she needed to face for them to be together.

I know, I know. It sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo and superstitious nonsense. But...what if isn't? What does it hurt to believe in things that aren't considered normal? So tell me, do you believe?
