I have memories that aren't my own

Sometimes there are stories in my brain that I first regard as my own memories - moments that have happened in the past and whatnot. But they feel strange. Then, when I meet someone (or someone I already know) and they tell me about their lives, I realize that the story I had been passing as my own memories is someone else's life's narrative. I imagine this is what it would feel like to have memories of your past lives; they are stories in your brain that no one else put there, but they were not acquired by you, and that they feel natural to you but at the same time they don't match up with your own life.

I am not remembering my past lives, I keep remembering other people's lives; how they felt at a certain moment, what they feel when they look at their spouse, that time they got rejected, a nanny they once had when they were little. The smell of their mother. A movie they saw when they were twelve. When this happens I can't help but realize that I knew something very intimate about other people before they even told me.

Sometimes I feel like I am everyone all at once.

    Or you have a very great imagination.

    I will say that I believe that we are all. Just manifested energy. Scientifically energy cannot be destroyed, only repurposed. So eventually energy from my body Wil mix with others before me. We breathe the same oxygen as dinosaurs. We drink the same water as people from 1000years ago. Because it never goes away. We drink, per, it evaporates. Naturally cleaned, and rained back on us.

    Nothing goes away.

    So maybe our consciousness is the same. I actually don't believe that a memory can be exchanged. But if that specific atom was active during the memory of another, then that specific atom will remember the vibracptions it made. It will be stored in ITS memory. And if a group of them reflects the remembered waves...then...possibility.

    It's why I believe in reincarnation. But I believe it on a scale of I don't come back as me. My energy will be mixed with another. And sure, my consciousness may come back...but it won't remember my past life. Though the atoms that create me may feel a familiarity in certain situations. And my THEN conciouslness can conjure up thoughts in my imagination to replicate what I think..based howevwr..onky on what I learned through the current lifetime...

    Like a dream.
    You can sense movement around you from the bouncing of particles. Changes in light..even ambient light. Heat and air flow. And your body reacts slightly. And as you sleep, they conjure up dreams based on that plus your own mental state of stress or happiness.
