Yeah, I know that feeling. My grandmother passed in the fall of '15 and when i was at her funeral, I didn't really feel much sadness for her. Not that i didn't like her (not that i was all that close with her either) but it was that feeling of knowing she lived a pretty full life. Well I don't know about full, but long... whereas my dad passed when i was 7 and i still think about him every now and then wondering what my life would be like if he were alive right now... and wondering what his life would be like if he really got to know me well into my adulthood. We do have a photograph of him hanging in our house sometimes and i look at it to give myself that visual reminder of him as i also often wonder what he'd looked like if he were alive today.

Is this what you're talking about?

I can understand but I didn't mean it that' way.Ive never seen the dead person before until last month. and before that
t I've seen someone who looks a lot like him in a dream before .then when i saw him I remmember the dream and how similar they look.
.the person im talking about would be 120 year old now and that's for mé is just downright creepy.it weird to feel strong feelings and connected to a dead person

Yes, I have experienced that very recently. I was flipping through podcasts and I stopped at a murder victim's picture. The immediate feeling was 'oh my God, I know you!' I never met or knew them, but something about them struck a cord in me. I haven't made the connection but something about them just hit hard.

I've had something like this. Someone who has died a long time ago. A few years ago, when I stumbled upon that guy, the thought of when and how he died suddenly made me cry. Nothing romantic either. Got some flashbacks later. Looks like I lived at the time and met this person.
Glad to meet someone else with a similar experience.
