Poll question: Did you have a past life/lives?
Edited on Wed Mar-10-04 03:08 PM by elfwitch
Do you think you might have lived before?
Are you reincarnated?

(note: not being serious AT ALL!!! Tougue firmly in cheek!)

1. I used to dream that I was on a B-29 crew...
...repeatedly. Often. Vividly. :shrug:

Not so much anymore...but if there is reincarnation, I'm sure I was just an average person like I am now.

18. Ah ha!
That might help explain why I dreamed I was a French Chef in a past life. Last night I fell asleep watching FoodTV. :D

8. Sometimes I feel that in another life..
Edited on Wed Mar-10-04 03:18 PM by mvd
Philly's pro teams won a championship while I lived in the Philly area. So far, no luck, though. Sometimes events feel familiar, like I was myself before - but outcomes are often quite different.

It's funny because these other lives don't really feel in the past.

The great Hoosier Socialist.

Or I could have been a cocker spaniel.

13. I Think I Must Have Been A Bear
or some other animal that hibernates during winter. I hate winter! Cold weather makes my joints ache, and the lack of sun light causes depression.

If I wasn't a bear, I must have been a tropical plant or something.

16. As a child I did
Edited on Wed Mar-10-04 07:00 PM by Nikia
Even though I remember talking about it as recently as nine years old, I have no memories of the alleged past life now at all, which is rather strange considering how much I remember from that age and younger. I don't know if I just made it up or not.
For some reason, in dreams I've been living in Prague as I've seen it in historical documentaries even though I've never been there.
I also spoke a language which I still can now without knowing what it means. I don't know if it is a real language or not.
Of all the religious/spiritual beliefs that I have, I am least certain on the afterlife. I won't rule out the possibility but I think of it as less of a possibility than other possibilities.

23. Do you have a sense of the time-period in your Prague dreams?
Here's a site you might like: http://www.reincarnationforum.com . There are some interesting people there--some who I know to be sane and level-headed*, and others who oughta be taken with a grain of salt.

33. Thanks for the website
I am not sure of the time exactly. It must be during the twentieth century because there are bicycles. I suppose if it really is a memory of a past life, I could have lived most of the century. I was born in 1977.

24. I was Ghengis Khan
I was Aristophanese
I was a guy named URG in 50,000 BC
I was Rasputin
And all the chicks he had
I was Katherine the Great
I was my mom and dad

I've been a butcher
I've been a baker
I have been a book maker
I have skippered clipper ships
and dug for undertakers
I've lived to be 98
I have died when I was 4
I have lived through war and peace
and war and war and war and war

I could write a book about my past lives
I died three times at Waterloo
I could write a book about my past lives
This life's not the best life, but at least I'm not you
I could write a book about my past lives

I was Abe Lincoln
I was all the slaves he freed
This life's not the best life
but at least you're not me

I've been French noblemen
and I've been Russian Peasants
I've been somebodys and nobodys
Once I was a pheasant

I was there when Caesar bled
I followed where Moses led
I wrote the words Mohammed said
I kissed the ground where St. Paul tread
I was best man when Henry wed
I put the crown on George's head
I once slept in Washington's bed
I shot John F. Kennedy dead

I could write a book about my past lives
I should write a book about my past lives

I watched Atlantic sink below
Hung out with Bowie at the Alamo
I didn't like being Edgar Alan Poe
I was sick alot when I was Rimbauld
I helped the druids build Stonehenge
Me and Buddha invented Zen
Once I borrowed Shakespear's pen
Joan of Arc was my best friend

I was there when Caesar bled
And I followed where Moses led
I wrote the words Mohammed said
I kissed the ground where St. Paul tread
I was best man when Henry wed
I put the crown on George's head
I once slept in Washington's bed
I shot John F. Kennedy dead

I watched his head
the blood was red
I shot him dead, dead, dead

I could write a book about my past lives
I should write a book about my past lives

Lyrics: Too Much Joy

Edited on Thu Mar-11-04 06:18 PM by Beaker
does that mean that your parental heritage is pretty much insignifigant & meaningless, and that i was living with total strangers all those years?
