(This page is dedicated to all those helpless romantics out there, and for those who believe in an endless love...)My husband, Eric and I met on October 2, 1995 on the computer. Yes, we were one of those statistics you hear about ;) We met on a local BBS. I came online one day, looking for someone to chat with. I saw his handle name,"crazy musician,"and decided that sounded like the type of person I'd like to get to know (I play a little guitar myself).
Anyway, I said you general, "Hi! Care to chat?" thing, and he wasn't very reponsive at first. He went on to explain how he had just gotten back from a party and how he was up all night talkign with this girl, and in the end she left him in the cold. I went on to use some therapy with him at this point.
And as we continued to talk, the strangest thing happend...I had always had dreams throughout life with a certain man in them. It would be the same man, different scenario. And I always had that achy, lonliness feeling waking up, because it seemed so real!...I had always been a believer in reincarnation and a helpless romantic myself, so I always had the belief that these dreams would someday be real, and I would be with this man.
Well, one of the dreams popped into my mind as I was talking with him. And I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach when I know something is about to happen. I had to ask him...I went on to ask,
"This is going to sound crazy, but can I ask you a few questions?Please don't think of it if it turns out to be nothing, ok?" He was a little hesitant (probably thinking to himself at this point,"this girls a little strange!") So, I started with the questions that turned out to change the rest of our lives..."Do you have a blue pick-up truck?" he answered, "Yes." :Do you have a couch that's kind of old and has a pattern with brown and orange on it (very 70's looking...it was awful! =), "Yes." Do you have a picture next to your couch that's in black and white and has two pictures in it, of children, one being a girl?, "Yes" (the girl was his sister and him). At this point we were both getting a little nervous. Let's face it, nothign like this happens everyday! This went on for about an hour and a half online. After that, I called him and we talked for about another 2 hours. It was amazing, we had so much in common, and we were finishing eachothers sentences. At this poing I was still going through my Hypnotherapy program at school (although I have been doing past life regressions for about 5 years before that), and he mentioned to me he was interested in being regressed when we got together.
Since everything was happening so quickly, and everything seemed a bit strange, we met that weekend (5 days later). He came to my door on October 7, and it was like something from a movie. The thing I remember the most from that evening was the first time I looked into his eyes and the first thing that came to mind was, "I know those eyes!" He was the exact same man I aw in my dreams...We hung out and talked that night for a few hours. And we decided to see eachother again.
Well, we did. And that's when I did a regression with him. Now, I hadn't told him about all my past lives I had seen for myself at this point (I died in the Holocaust, and that's not something I liked to bring up to someone I...we;;...I guess just met). Anyways, to make a long story short, I did a regression with him and he went back to a life in Germany. I started to get an eerie feeling when I heard him speaking with a German accent (old feelings). Anyway, he descirbed everything I saw under hypnosis sessions perfectly. It was then I knew I had found my soulmate. I'll never forget when he woke up out of the trance and he first looked at me...no one had ever looked at me that way before, we both started crying and gave eachother a hug. It was almost like our souls were remembering eachother and it was like a homecoming. And we both knew.
We were officialy engaged in February of 1996. 16 long months later on July 19, 1997 we were married. Everything happend so quickly, but I don't regret anything. The eyes are the window to the soul...I've always believed that, and this time it prooved itself true. I believe there's someone out there for everyone. Just keep your mind open to it, and it will come. Sometimes in the strangest places and ways. If it weren't for this little box I'm typing into right now, I don't know how we would've met. Believe in fate and destiny...after all, doesn't true love always win in the end?
