Doppelgangers
Throughout history there’ve been tales of people seeing their double, an identical twin to themselves, a doppelganger, German for double walker. These phantom twins are sometimes thought to be bad omens, signifying that the person seeing them is going to die, or someone close to them will meet their end. At times these twins can bring messages of peace and hope, others bring news of sorrow and destruction. In many cultures around the world there are legends of double walkers, some defined at bilocation, where a person willingly or spontaneously projects a double, known as a ‘wraith’; other times the doppelganger is an entity that causes confusion, as a person is seen in two places at once. With no shortage of stories of the doppelganger, one has to wonder what forces allow a person to be two places at the same time.

If something is haunting you in your dreams, you may be experiencing the memories of a past life.
