>>7985246I was born on July 3rd very close to the Gettysburg battlefield. When I was a kid I used to have dreams, sometimes waking "dreams," where I seemed to be channeling pieces of the battle. Weird details sometimes would stand out, shit that I never saw in a history book or museum. Later in life I would sometimes run across pictures or written accounts and get a strong deja vu from them. It was really spooky, like from about the age of eight or ten, and then they faded about the time I turned 30. I don't usually put much stock in it, I figure there's some other image and info crossover that's going on subconsciously. But, I do remember dying several times, pretty much the exact same way each time. It wasn't painful so much as confusing because the "me" that was dying didn't really understand what had happened, and there wasn't much pain. But me, the person alive today, knew exactly what was going on. Pretty sure "I" was hit by several shots at the same time and just sort of fell, numb, and faded out trying to understand what had happened.
Hadn't thought about that for a while, until this thread. Weird shit.
