Fighter plane memory

I am new to this forum and not quite sure of myself in this area, but I had a vivid dream about 3 yrs. ago that has stuck with me to this day and I can't shake it. I was in a fighter plane over Europe, I had been hit and was in an uncontrollable spin and could not bail out. I watched the ground coming up into my cockpit and felt and heard the front end of the plane smash into the ground but felt no pain.

Upon impact I saw only total blackness for a few moments is seemed then the next recollection is that of light coming in and brightening up and being a small toddler just able to stand in a baby bed circa mid 1940's in my hometown. I recall the location of the building and I could see through my bed rails out the window into the town square, the buildings and the old cars driving back and forth with people walking about. After that the dream ended.

I have another I don't know what to call it dream or feeling of being in the Edwardian era and being a politician in a southern state. This is all quite new to me, still dealing with it.
 
Welcome oldman,


I have not been on this forum long enough to be on any official welcoming committee, but feel free to discuss what you initiated here. That truly seems to fit with the concept of remembering past-lives.

Welcome to the forum. Vivid dreams like this are likely past life memories. You felt no pain because your soul left your body a split second before impact. There are many people here who were killed during WWII. What kind of plane was it? Can you describe the view from the cockpit better? What did the cockpit look like? See if you can find a picture on google that looks sort of like what you saw in the dream. If you were born in the 40's in the current life then you came back very quickly. That's not unusual if you were killed suddenly at a young age.
 
Thanks for the welcome. I can't recall a lot of the details of the cockpit but the nose of the plane was sleek and narrow, I think a P51 because I recall a silver color.

P-51's were used late in the war, beginning in late 1943. They were used as B-17 escorts over Germany.
 
My "Chariot of the Sky!!!"


Not trying to "hijack" this thread, but clues gleaned from my memories and dreams of my most recent Past Life has led me to become more and more convinced that my "Charioit of the Sky" was a well known British aircraft called the "Spitfire".


Maybe I have not looked well enough or in the right places, but I have not found any reference to Spitfires having wide spread problems with jammed canopy's (the main reason for my departure in that Past Lifetime!!!) but I will keep on "Googling".


Here's to more fruitful and fertile "Googling" ;) LOL

Jammed canopies were common with most propeller fighter planes. It's how James Leninger was killed in his last life as James Huston over Iwo Jima. The problem was solved when the Germans invented the "ejection seat" to be used with the new jets.

As a piece of interest, several years ago, I saw a British warplane with directions (on the outside surface) for how to open the canopy and rescue the pilot. Seems to indicate the RAF was aware of the problem?

Was this a jet? That is standard now on all modern military planes.
 
Thanks everyone for checking about the jammed canopy problem.


The aircraft damage to the Spitfire I was flying in my Past Life as a RAF pilot may have led to the canopy being damaged and jammed, also this particular Spitfire may have been a "Loaner" while the Spitfire I usually flew was being serviced.


Both factors may have led to the rare jammed canopy problem.


Lately I seem to be having more snippets of dreams about my most recent Past Life as a RAF pilot than my other Past Life as a young Shepard boy guarding sheep who was killed by a wild animal.


Yet the Shepard PL is far more revealing as far as validating a PL whereas the RAF PL is more exciting which leads me to the real reason why I am having more dreams about my RAF PL.


The Past Life involving the young Shepard boy provided a stronger validation than the RAF Past Life because as a young Shepard boy I had an Out Of Body Experience (OOBE) as I laid dying on the ground whereas in this life, as a young child, I knew nothing at all about OOBE's, to me that is a strong personal validation.
 
It got a little strange the other day; I was scanning and creating copies of typewritten pages of a "book" by a friend of my father-in-law who told of his army air force experience flying a P-51. His name is Bob Planck; I was also reading other threads here talking about Max Planck and it seemed a little strange. Bob ended up being a German prisoner-of-war after being shot down.


As I recall, the canopy on the P-51 was changed from one made of separate panels to a one-piece one that they called a "bubble" that increased visibility, no mention was made about difficulty of one type or the other trapping the pilot in what I read. The bubble canopy was probably used on newer versions of the plane after Bob was shot down.

I wonder how POW's with German surnames were treated by the Germans? I went to junior high and high school with a guy named Mehrtens. He joined the army about 1970 and was stationed in West Germany. He said everywhere he went there the locals asked him if he spoke German. But like most 2nd and 3rd generation German-Americans he didn't.
 
My father-in-law's friend was stationed in England and did not mention anything concerning his name in the 105 pages of his early life, training, flights, capture, release, and reunions with others. It was an interesting read; I'm not sure what he intended to do with what he wrote, probably just recording something for his family. He certainly did not receive special treatment by his captors.
 
My own Father had a German last name and it would have been more German had Immigration not messed with it to make it more English.


He was in the US Army Air Corps and then the Air Force from 1943 to 1963 and was in fact stationed in Germany just shortly after the end of WWII.


In spite of his ancestry and his last name, he did not speak a word of German, but I, his oldest Son, learned German as a very young child from a German speaking relative/Nanny.


As far as I know, none of HIS living relatives (Brother and children) spoke German, but I learned and spoke it with such gusto as a young child that strangers would ask my Mother if I had been born in Germany.


Perhaps my speaking German was a "throwback" to an earlier life in German, and perhaps one of the Past Lives I do remember, a young Shepard boy attacked by a Wolf and killed was in fact in Germany.


Auf Wiedersehen, haben Sie ein guten Tag!!! (Till we meet again, have a good day!!!) :)

Maybe the family changed it during WWI? There was so much anti-German prejudice at that time that many changed the name so it didn't sound German. German Jews changed it so it didn't sound Jewish. If you think about people you know or have known it's easy to imagine what the original name was. The largest sub groups of whites in the U.S. are German and Irish. Have you known anyone with a last name of Martin? I think Martin was probably Mehrten. Sometimes they would drop a letter where there was a double letter such as xxmann became xxman. Little things like that. My parents had a family friend whose last name was Stymans. That was probably something like Steinmetz, which would have been a Jewish name. In my city there was a prominent family 100 years ago named Einstein. They were wealthy and among other things they owned a bank. About 1917 they changed the name to Eaton.
