My name is Jessica Jewett and I live part-time in Tennessee and part-time in Georgia, but from 1825 - 1905, my name was Fanny Chamberlain and I lived in Brunswick, Maine. Since I was a toddler, I have had dreams and flashbacks of a life that is not the one I'm living now. Over the years I came to know a separate family underneath the surface of my consciousness. I knew this woman from the inside out -- I knew her thoughts, her feelings, her secret desires, the people in her life, etc. -- but I never got to see her until I was in the third grade when I (in her body) stood in front of a mirror in a dream, yet I never got her whole name. It was terribly frightening for many years and I never told a soul. I was ashamed. I thought I was crazy.
In 1999, a woman by the name of Diane Monroe Smith published a book called Fanny & Joshua, and I happened upon this book in a Borders bookstore in northwest Georgia. As I looked at the woman pictured on the cover, Fanny Chamberlain, my world spun, I got dizzy and my chest constricted. I was looking at the woman in my dreams. I was looking at myself. The blinding light of Fanny's picture right in front of me still did not convince me that reincarnation was in the realm of possibility and I continued to surpress my flashbacks for another three years. It wasn't until the spring of 2002 when I finally gave up and said, "All right, this is my reality. I have to deal with it."
With the support of close friends like Jeffrey Keene, author of Someone Else's Yesterday, and many others in the reincarnationist community, I have taken my story public in the last few years with the hope of helping others who struggle to come to grips with previous lives. Since 2002, I have compiled about 200-300 pages of recorded memories, dreams, parallel expieriences and feelings on Fanny Chamberlain as I know her, which I am now compiling and editing into a book. There are a lot of misconceptions about Fanny and her husband, Civil War Union General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, in addition to the misconceptions about reincarnation and other paranormal occurrences.
