I also have a sense that this has happened to me before (dying) but I have "forgotten" somehow. There is familiarity about that weightless, calm feeling. I would like to know about my past lives someday, because I have always felt that there is some bleed through from those lives into this one.

In my dreams when I die, I am usually being chased but it is not in the present time. It is either in the mid 1800's or the 1920's. In the 20's dream I am with an exploration party in some far off jungle being chased and shot by an unknown group. In the 1800's dream I am a mother and wife and accidently shot myself alone in my barn. That dream bothers me when I awake because I am worried about my children finding my body in the barn. In this life I have no children.

Its strange how the brain works, but I have always had very lucid dreams. I dream every night and typically remember them very clearly the following evening for some odd reason.
