Have you seen Pompeiiyet? Wolfldy and I saw it about a week after it premiered and it did ring bells. I won't spoil it but the end is something else...not really expected. At least Wolfldy and I didn't expect it. Although a fictional depiction, it gives me some idea of what my parents went through in Pompeii (my wife and I were in Herculaneum so experienced the eruption differently from people in Pompeii--very little ashfall, if any. Really not a whole lot until the pyroclastic flow.ChrisR said:As a former victim of eruption, I'm quite intrigued to 'experience' this forthcoming movie on the big screen. It's released in the UK this week, and even the trailer is pretty intense, and just a little bit more 'dramatic' than the scenes from my memories, but that 'morbid fascination' still draws me in to go and see it, i'm a sucker for punishment and hope I can sit and watch it to the end! - anyone else seen it, or going to see it?
Yes I did see it and reacted rather badly to it, more than I was expecting.
The scene where the couple were on horseback just after they escaped and they were in the open countryside, with the volcano in the background, and then all of a sudden, a long rumbling tremor, that made me feel very anxious to the pit of my stomach, more so than the eruption itself. The ash cloud at the end wasn't easy to watch, but it didn't really match anything that I have in my memories, not on that scale anyway. Overall, I thought the movie was highly unbelievable, almost laughable at the end, too much 'Hollywood' and not enough realism. It was, however, enough to give me nightmares for two nights in a row after watching it.

Responding to Aged Gypsy memory
I think I could be considered a skeptic when it comes to "past lives" and related memories. I have a master's degree in clinical-counseling psychology, and we were taught that past life memories were unequivocally patients' attempts to find meaning in their own lives. However, when I was a child I had a terrible repetitive nightmare. I was a young girl in my dream, tall enough to be 12-13 years old. I was in charge of a baby who was around a year old. I remember having big bracelets on my wrists and I had darker skin. In the dream I am very frightened and the whole dream is dark. I keep thinking I have to get to the baby. I am running from room to room and finally enter through a doorway that felt short compared to today. I grab the baby who is crying. I can hear rocks pelting the ceiling and I take the baby outside and I am hurting my feet on rocks all over the ground. I am rushing as fast as I can and there are rocks coming down all around me and people are all around me screaming. I can barely see and my eyes burn and my lungs burn. I think about running to a water pool to clean my face. But when I get to the hole that should have water it is filled with ash and rocks. I am holding the baby as tight as I can. I turn to look at people running behind me and everything goes black. I had this nightmare through out childhood and have been terrified of anything smothering me. I still will not put my face in the shower or even go swimming because it panics me. My father swears that when I was six years old my father was watching a documentary about Pompeii and I looked up and said, "They're lying. That's not what happened."
This nightmare has bothered me my entire life. It feels so real and frightening. I have never joined a forum. I have fought the idea that this might actually be a memory. But in the last few months I have begun having the dream again only this time I am watching it from above. I am just looking for an explanation. Because I am hoping that whatever part of me needs resolution will get it.
I'm just looking for help, or for someone who can relate. Thanks for reading.

Have you ever heard of Dr. Helen Wambach? She was a psychologist who had her own past life memories and did ground breaking reincarnation research in the 1970's.sicklilwellgirl said:

Watching from above sounds like an "Out of Body" OBE experience. You might want to contact Carol Bowman directly through this forum. She has lots of experience with cases like this. There are people here in the forum who have been helped by her.sicklilwellgirl said:

It really sounds like you were there in the past.Its normal to be disturbed when you hear about an event that tragic..but your reaction sounds more personal,as if it happened to you.
