Hi Weonsle...

I think it depends on your real life experiences (whether through film, news, etc. of where you are feeling nostalgic about. If they make sense, then there is a more logical explanation that a previous life.

Is it a longing for what you might perceive to be better?

I no longer rule out reincarnation since I had a dream that was entirely in a different language. I understood all of it.

I wonder too about it being thoughts of what you percieve as a better place (although I've been to the Netherlands and I found it beautiful).

I once travelled and experienced an oddly familar place - like deja vu - that I had never been to. I knew where everything was and felt I knew it intimately. Not long after I returned home I felt myself drawn to a novel. It turned out to be set in that very place I had been.
