[Error: unknown template qotd]Yep.  I can't say I have any conclusive proof, but I've had different time periods "speak to me."  If I'm watching a show or movie about a certain event or time period, I get a strong sensation of having been there before.  I remember the first time I saw a preview of "Titantic" that it felt bizarrely real to me.  It felt like it was happening to me, that I was drowning.  The emotion was really strong.  I practically started crying over a damn preview.  Then again, I could have just been PMSing. :)

Haha. I know the feeling you're talking about though.

It happens to me with a few different time periods too. Like the 30s for instance. And being a warrior...or maybe that's just from watching too much Xena?

LOL!! Yeah, I found that happening with Xena some too, or maybe it was just wishful thinking, wishing I was the "warrior" type. :)

Same here. I am fascinated by the sea. I devour books, fictional and otherwise, about seafaring centuries ago (The Caliban Shore, Batavia's Graveyard, Before the Wind...), and it is so vivid and real a world I do wonder if I once lived in it.

Of course, the chances of getting me anywhere near a ship of any real size in this life is bugger all :)

Augh, your comment didn't come through my email! I would have responded. *sheepish smile* Sorry!

I have this thing for the sea too. That could just be because I'm a water sign and grew up close to the ocean. You know what I feel connected to? Piracy...seriously. I love pirate stories and movies. I always stop to watch "Pirates of the Carribean" when it's on or maybe it's just because of Kiera Knightly. *wg*

THPT! No apologies necessary :).

See, I'm a Taurus who didn't see the ocean until I was 16. So there you go.

There's a real element of daredevilness to piracy, isn't there? I mean, with navies and merchant ships, people tended to have some idea where they were going, where they were meant to be and when. Merchants especially followed fixed routes. But once you were a pirate, if the shit hit the fan you really were on your own.

But I suppose if Keira was there you wouldn't mind, you cheeky monkey ;)
