Ever since i was a little girl i have had an extreme phobia of being alone in any type of body of water. I have to be at least 5 or 6 feet from somebody else in a body of water i cannot see in, and i will never go in a swimming pool alone. I am extremely afraid of water i cant see in and wont jump into lakes and ponds, etc, because i have to stay on the surface of the water. I think this story was the event in one of my past lives that gave me the phobia i have now.

I think that one of my past lives was revealed to me in a dream... I was a beautiful dark haired, green eyed, teenage girl and i was on a row boat with my boyfriend in the middle of a body of water. He was very handsome and a little older than me. Well I jumped in the water and so did he. I was feeling very untrustful toward him and kept having the feeling he was going to hurt me. It was something that was going on for awhile, not just at the moment. Then all of a sudden i was alone and i was pulled underwater by something. I saw swirls of greens and reds and blue lights all around me and was getting pulled down into the water deeper and deeper. I thought it was my boyfriend drowning me and i was so scared...but then someone grabbed my hand and when i got to the surface of the water i saw it was my boyfriend. I dont know what had pulled me down either. Then i woke up.
