In school a while ago we were watching a video of the Pompeii eruption and I felt like I knew what was happening. It was like I had heard the confusion and noise before and it was very strange.
Maybe you just like that era, but i belive in past lives so maybe you were there. But i dont know, it depends on your point of view.

There can be a lot of emotional connections with times and places. Whether or not those affinities mean anything significant is open to interpretation. Your tentative query hints that you're thinking reincarnation, which could be an explanation. So could a latent memory of a trip to the museum when you were too young to consciously recall, or just plain old imagination - or even more plain just liking something for the sake of liking it!

I am not dismissing any ideas you have. They're as valid as mine. I just think the best way to answer your own questions is to go looking not only to other people, but also inside yourself.

I posted on this very thing in another catagory. I literally break down and weep whenever I see a picture, video, documentary, etcetera of/on Avalon, and I become extremely emotional toward Ireland. Neither place mentioned have I ever been in this lifetime, I assure you. However, I am emotionally attached to the Medieval era and can relate to most things Medieval, and believe that I was a dancer for men in that era in another lifetime. Now, I don't have any proof of this, but, yes, the emotions and the knowings and the relatings are indeed a part of me.

I do too, get the connections with eras from the past. I like you have a not really hatred really but a dislike to things from the 50s, 60s and 70s. I get odd connections of pride from things from the past or the country of Scotland (especially before and during the Medieval era). I can not explain it at all I'm from the US and have never even been to Scotland (nobody in my family really ever talks about Scotland or Scottish things), but yet I have a since of pride for it. I also have been drawn to the Elizabethan era and during her father's reign also (it interests me I guess, not so much pride but just interest). I'm also intrigued by the Nazi Germany time frame all sorts of interesting not to mention horrible things happened. Hitler has forever intrigued me, what made him tick, what happened in his life to make him do what he did (there are many theories out there)? I also have been interested in the Jews at this time what they went through and such. When I was younger I also had memories or daydreams/dreams that I was at one time an American Indian, but I never felt a big draw to that type of life only pride there too.
If I really had to guess I would think that I once lived in a past life in Scotland (before or during the Medieval era or both who knows) that I really loved my country at that time and that my life was a good one then. As for the English one I have always held a odd sense of fear but was oddly drawn to it maybe I had a past life there too although maybe not a happy one and that I lived in constant fear. The intrigue that has come from the Nazi Germany era I think was just natural intrigue since I have never felt anything for it but questions and curiosity. The Amer. Indian one I feel that I might have had a past life as an Indian but that I may have been pretty young when I died then.
As for the 50s, 60s and 70s I'm not too sure they have just never interested me in fact they disgust me at times I'm really not sure why. Maybe I had another past life at that time and it was a horrible one who knows.

Europe, mainly the UK. I am particularly interested in the 1300s-1800s. Other than that, I could really care less. I especially could care less about American history even though I live here. Its just not interesting to me. I am very attached to London and I don't know why.

The 1910's give me a bittersweet feeling too, so I know how you feel. I LOVE the art and furniture from the 1700s and 1800s also, it is absolutely beautiful. I wish I could have lived back then.

I'm drawn towards the late 1800s here (europe/norway).
Don't know why, but I think we have these fascinations because certain eras represent certain traits within ourselves.
For example when I say late 1800s I think of the "gentleman-era", with men in hats, a suit and possibly a cane, woman with big dressed and kids running around in the streets pestering the grown-ups
It just seems like a more quiet time than what we have today.

Maybe it has to do with reincarnation.

1973 I was watching OJ, Bob MacAdoo, and The French Connection play for my local sports teams.

Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, FLoyd, Eagles, Bowie, Stones.....

I have a strange obsession with the 1920's New England. The Latchis Theatre to be exact. The first time I went there I felt like i knew every inch of the place and feel incredibly drawn to it.
I also have a strange fascination with 1300s Ireland, County Cork is the modern name of the area i seem drawn to.
There are a few other times and places as well but I will not leave a long list.

I feel a strong connection to medieval Europe and in particlar the Celts. If you ask this question of my wife though, she would say with my uncanny resemblance and behaviour of a caveman, i would fit right in with all my bros in the stoneage.

Personally, the Edo Period in Japan was extremely fascinating to me. So much was going on.

I have always had a connection to Native Americans and early American history. In my case, it could be explained by many vacations spent in Minnesota with Sioux indians. Although my father was Irish, he held strong the beliefs of Native Americans and passed these on to me and my sisters.

I have read that this type of connection could be an indication of a past life. I would really like to believe this (I like to think I was a Native American in a past life), but I have no personal experience to back it up.



I'm the one holding the chief's hand and smiling really big.

Me too. I would love to be living in the time of the Renaissance and I really love sword fighting. I just love learning everything about the Roman Empire and Italy. My Great Great Grandparents were living in a small town in the mid 1800s on the "heel" of Italy's Boot across from Albania before they came to America. Whenever I hear about the Roman Empire I feel a great sense of pride. I just would really like to be there and be a warrior. I am not satisfied with civilized life. There is no excitement nothing. Living back then life was an adventure. I just always loved Rome. I feel the same way about Greek too. When ever I hear the story of the Battle at Thermopylae I feel a sense of pride and feel like that is where I belong back in the past.

I feel an emotional connection with the Puritan Ages as well as the Roman Empire.

HEhe this is so mysterious.......i can't feel anything about the past
but whenever i see japan with greenish environment ang good houses with samurais around i feel like crying..

I can tell I feel nostalgic walking in a ancient forest and goes angry when someone cuts a three.
*Don't wanna tell memories*

Well, if you don't like sharing your memories out in public I would like to hear them, if you don't mind.

Everyone has different connections and feelings

Based off of their beliefs, accounts, natural feelngs or likings towards, certain memories, flashbacks, history of thier family itself,possession/obession, certain values, enivio. situation, economic...the list goes on and on...random to

...
The most nostalgic thing that mus be, is to float betwen the stars always watching them... because no mater what they alweys are there, newer changing, never gone.. no mater how the worlds change. It the most peacefull thing that must be. *long to be peacfully floating there*

I feel a connection to ancient Chinese/Japanese cultures in general.
