Have you ever felt like you've had a previous life?

hogwash (good survey though)

I KNOW I have lived past lives. I have often felt them here with me.

Fine question, but the explanation section killed it. My having dreamed of people I've never met or seen before does not translate to my feeling I've had a previous life. And someone feeling better suited to another time period also does not necessarily indicate that they feel they've had a previous life. And what does reading historical books have to do with it?

Have I ever felt like it? Yes. Do I believe that I've had a previous life? No.

Yes I like history, yes I've dreamt of people from the past I have never met, but I am positive time travel is not possible (the old paradox of destroying the universe if you go back in time and kill yourself), and therefore have no interest in it.

i have had a previous life- or my soul has.

There are solutions to the destroy-the-universe paradox, but that doesn't mean time travel is possible.

I do it all the time but the people in my dreams are
usually people I meet at some point and then I remember
them from my dreams, maybe I'm actually from the future
and have gotten stuck in the past

North79, phi - time travel to the past may not be possible, but time travel to the future certainly is (though, it's a one-way ticket).

I have some relationships with people that just don't seem to make sense - there's much more there than can be explained by what we have here and now. I more than halfway believe that I've had relationships with these people before, over and over throughout past lives.

bill..thats true. One-way is so much less fun though!

North: on what experience to you base this declaration?

I've had several people tell me that they think I was Lizzie Borden in a past life because of my almost obsessive interest in her. (She didn't do it by the way ;))

Umm... I presume that you want me to answer the question in the question (so to speak) and not the one in the explanation. I rather consistently dream of people I've never met before, both real and imaginary. But that doesn't mean that I feel like I've had a previous life or that I feel that I don't belong in this time period.

they- my grandmother said she wouldn't have done it, she was really too nice and gentle a person (she knew her); of course it always seems that the ones who go psycho are the ones of whom the neighbors always say that.

topper: Some people can be perfectly sweet and normal and then, snap, they kill someone with an axe. Then they return to their normal and sweet self. Stress builds up, gets released, and your normal again.

**drdt: I wouldn't want to go into the future unless I knew I could come back, thats all.

jjg and topper... this is the way that I've always seen it. To kill someone with a Hatchet would require you to be within very close range. Even if she had been naked like some people have guessed, she would have had blood and fragments of her father's skull caked in her hair when she went running and screaming out of the house when she found them.

Topper.. is your grandmother from Fall River? How did she know Lizzie?

Another reason people have said I might be her reincarnation is that when she died she left a great deal of money to a wildlife fund... I'm not sure which... but I would have done the same.

topper - so if Lizzie didn't do it, who did?

Jody... I've heard a couple different ideas about who killed Lizzie Borden's Father and Stepmother, but there was only one that I found convincing. I read a book written by Arnold R. Brown, called "Lizzie Borden: The Legend, the Truth, the Final Chapter".

The author went back through all of the court documents, and located several other documents. What he found out was that Andrew Borden (the father) had an illegitimate son who he had been in contact with prior to the murders. Apparently the son wanted a cut of Andrew's small fortune and wasn't happy with Andrew's decision on the matter.

If your curious about the murders, it's a very good book to read... It includes photos, pictures of the layout of the house, court documents, and the entire questioning of Lizzie Borden.

I have lived many many times

None of the above.
