I was born in 1949 and as a small child had frequent dreams (memories?) of being shot in the left temple by a Japanese soldier while charging a pillbox on a sandy hill. There was much more to this dream including things that I could not reasonably have known as a toddler, including that skin sloughs off and exudes a whitish fluid as it decays. I stiopped dreaming this sometime in my childhood, but still rememeber it clearly.

The scientific part of me doesn’t believe in reincarnation, but I also believe I could be wrong. I have always had an interest of the past, and objects from the past. There is something about the time period of 1880 to 1910, and especially the 1880′s that seems to draw my attention more so than any other. It’s like an almost subconcious, innate fascination with anything from that era, especially the architecture. I was a movie extra for a scene that took place in 1905 and I could borrow what Elizabutt said about the late 30′s/early 40′s, the clothing and architecture was appealing in a comforting way. If I did have a past life I must have had a good time in 1880′s.

I think this is a wrong view on re-incarnation. Being a practicing Buddhist for 19 years I’ve learned its a difficult subject to talk about intelligently so I will now take this opportunity to shut up.

If there were a such thing as reincarnation, wouldn’t the world population generally remain the same?

Of course, you can always argue that new souls are still regularly born. So 6 billion souls right now. How come everyone that gets reincarnated was either a war hero, famous, or died on the titanic? Why don’t used car salesmen ever get reincarnated?

I am familiar with the writings of both Carol Bowman and Walter Semkiw, Prof. Ian Stevenson, among many others. I encourage everyone to read their works and make your own decisions.

The majority of the earth’s population accepts reincarnation. Besides, it makes sense. If we are all supposed to be recycling, why wouldn’t God recycle souls?

I don’t have any personal past memories to share, but sometimes I get some incredibly deep feelings of deja-vu and the only recall I can get on the feelings is that they happened ‘a long time ago.’

I also have a friend who swears up and down that she once died on the Titanic. She says she was about five years old, was in 3rd class, and that she had a fraternal twin brother who also died.

When I was 3 years old, I told my mother very matter-of-factly that I used to be a man. When she asked me about it, I replied that I had been a doctor, but I died.

When my brother first started to talk in full sentances, every once and a while he would tell us about being in college and how he committed suicide by “jumping out a window”. He’d get into these long rants about having to go back to find his friend because he forgot to tell him goodbye, but when we would ask him the name of the friend or the school, he would get frustrated and stop talking. He’d usually forget a few minutes later and wouldn’t bring it up again for a month or so. It was weird, especially since he used words that a normal 3 year old wouldn’t use. By the age of 6 he stopped talking about it and by 7 he forgot completely.

I just finished reading the book “Audrey Rose” by Frank DeFellita.
It was really good. A little girl has nightmares, a man journeys to India and back to NY after his daughter dies in a horrible car crash and contacts the parents of the girl he believes is his daughters reincarnation. It’s creepy and good.

Now all at once, repeat after me: “I’m cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs”
