I feel a strong bond with the Cape Cod/Nantucket whalers. When I first lived in the Boston area I would dive all up and down the coast and everything seemed oddly familiar - I couldn't get lost if I tried.
Years later, working on a pirate screenplay I picked up some mood music - whaling songs and shanties...I'd never heard the songs before, but by the third track I was overwhelmed with emotion and found myself crying. Really odd.
Doesn't mean shit, I know - but it's the closest to feeling like a "past life experience" that I've encountered.
