Cat Ward's blog post on recurring dreams, reincarnation, telepathy and many worlds

Cat Ward has a thoughtful post on these topics, prompted by a detailed recurring nightmare of hers, whose onset coincided with a sudden interest in a particular period of American history:

This part interests me:

Can one say the cases illustrated above provide inarguable evidence for reincarnation? No. But if we are to consider the possibility of a soul- an "energetic being"- we must therefore consider the possibility that it is housed within our physical selves, but exists only symbiotically with those; the body gives the soul a way in which to express its intent- carry out its purpose, physically- and the soul gives the body the fuel via its intent, causing neurochemical changes in the brain, and thus driving the body's physical actions and responses.

It therefore seems appropriate to consider also the possibility that said energetic being- soul- could survive the death of our physical selves, and continue on, somewhere, in another medium or dimension of existence, and also appropriate to consider the possibility that this energetic being may thus occupy numerous physical bodies, over spans of time well beyond that of one of our mortal lives.

And also this:

Are these dreams due to retrocognitive telepathy? Am I discerning, from the mind of a now-deceased agent, a glimmer of something which occurred in the past, in an existence they once lived, to which I am unconnected? Or could it be that the agent is still living, and I am receiving information on a previous existence of theirs?

Those two sets of ideas are quite different. In one, it involves direct first-hand participation and as it were 'ownership' of the recall. The other, merely a 'crossed-line', picking up extraneous information from some external source.

For me personally, the distinction between the two is vitally important. Sometimes, the emphasis is placed on the acquisition of information, perhaps akin to remote viewing or mediumship. This is very different from direct personal participation and ownership of the life recalled. This distinction is important since it is reflected in how we view our current existence in this life, and our self-understanding. This has direct consequences for our day-do-day existence. It is not a mere academic curiosity.

I think she is discussing three different possible explanations, isn't she? Those two, and also one involving many worlds.
