Hello loverofcreation: I'm afraid the Skeezyks can't be of much help here. I don't believe in reincarnation, past lives, or any of that sort of thing.

I can relate to what you've experienced though. I'm an older person now.

But when I was young, I did believe in such things & had many of the same sorts of thoughts you're having, with the exception that I never thought I had any memory of my birth. In fact I've never had much of any memory of my youth prior to around the age of 8 or so.
I was born in 1948. And for many years I harbored a feeling that I was somehow alive, & probably died, during the Nazi era. I've always been a very anxious person... plus I've been transgender [MtF] all my life (although I never did anything about it.)

So it was not a great leap of imagination to surmise that my high levels of anxiety & "transgenderedness" were the result of my having perhaps lived, & died, as a female somewhere in Nazi occupied Europe.

I never really believed this to be true, mind you. It was more of a feeling that would wash over me from time-to-time. I certainly don't believe it nowadays.

I don't know where these things come from or why.

But it is interesting how these sorts of thoughts can gain a foothold in one's mind & hang on.
Anyway, that's my story. Thanks for posting this.

I enjoyed having the opportunity to share my similar experience.
