Lisa asked:

Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, can you justify it. I constantly have dreams in which I am a boy.
Does this mean I have memories of a past life?

============

No. No. Ok, fine. No.

Perhaps at some level you want to be a boy. Perhaps, instead, you want to knowwhat it is to be a
boy, and your subconscious is attempting to answer that in your dreams. Perhaps neither of those,
and you like excitement and activity, and being a girl, perhaps you have been told that you cannot be
too physically active. Being a boy would let you be in dreams what you have been prohibited to be in
real life, then. Perhaps something else. If it bothers you, get some counseling. Otherwise, just go with
the flow, I'd say, and enjoy.
