Past Lives

[kycahi]

I had a vivid dream of being a high-caste slave, probably in ancient Egypt, who prepared bodies for burial--perhaps mummies. It was a team effort and I recognized a friend in this life whom I worked with. We were real good at this job and had a certain level of recognition and respect for our skills. I remember that at the end of a job we washed hands and arms, and that's when I noticed tattoos on our forearms that marked us as slaves with a certain status.

The next day I emailed the friend and described the dream, and he thought I was wacky, but nearly 20 years later he still remembered that email. In these lives we are in high-tech Silicon Valley, and in those lives we were in the high-tech body prep biz.
