Well, just let me say that all of this stuff sounds very fantastical. Maybe it was a true past life, maybe it wasn't, and I feel that's not the point of it. I feel that it could be a metaphor for what I was meant to be taught, and it was only a tool to show me. What I learned was that animals are important in my life. The trust and bond between animal and human is a unique one in nature. There is no love like an animal's. It truly is unconditional, completely trusting, and irrefragable. I have been feeling regret of having animals in my life right now (I know, I know). The trouble is that I live alone, and sometimes the neighbors complain about my dogs barking. Also, I live in Taipei, and it rains quite a lot. There's a covered space for the dogs, but it's not 100% closed off from the weather, so the ground gets wet from rain that is just blown in from the side of the balcony. Finally, I live next to a boulevard, and some of the soot from the exhaust pipes of cars gets pretty messy, both on the balcony and in the house on the floor (dogs tracking it in, I guess). Sometimes I feel that they are holding me back from doing things, traveling or getting out of the house, because I have to be with them a lot. There's no other place for them to go, and it is a bit sad for me. This is why I want a better apartment or a place for them to feel better.
Another thing I learned is that family will always love me. I kind of knew this already, but I think the hypnosis reminded me. I have always felt like a black sheep for whatever reasons. I didn't talk to people, I don't share my feelings, and I just don't overall, and that is different from my family. It was obvious to everyone that I just don't say much. It wasn't because of the company; I think it was because I was just doing a lot of thinking at the time, and my personality type is not one that talks a lot. The idea of the fish mom being there may emphasize the impact that my mom has had on my life. When I was dying in front of her, it may signify that the old me was dying and a new self is emerging. These things are not sad in and of themselves, so why was I crying? Crying can be a side-effect of hypnosis and connecting to the higher self, but in a more practical way, maybe it is the feelings we attach to archetypes like death and beauty. There were a few times in my hypnosis that I cried: one was when I saw the beautiful, majestic city, and two other times were centered around death (and death and guilt, in the case of the underwater human ship).
Speaking of the human ship, this part is a little confusing for me. I take it to be my past. There's no reason to go explore it, and I may feel some guilt about it, but the point is that it is a broken thing. The ship is at the bottom of the ocean and is not useful for the intent it was created. All of the baggage inside, crates, corpses, etc., were things I wanted to leave behind. I was curious about the ship, and that could represent my curiosity toward past-life regression. In the end, I ended up going away from the ship after having explored it only for a few minutes. This tells me to look into now. Don't worry about the past, nor the future. Be in the now.
Would I recommend this to anyone else? Yes, but I think you have to be open to interpretation. Don't take things literally. Maybe the life was real or maybe it was fake, but that's not the point. The point is that there are lessons within the stories that you see. Be open enough to grab them.
