Is it normal to miss something/someone you've never known?

..memories of past lives..

You know this happens to me once in a while. I dont know how i remember this, but when i was like 3 or 4 i kept on getting an image in my head of like a foggy/swampy river... very greenish like and i remember seeing kinda like a wooden canoe with 1 person in the front and one in the far back. In between those 2 people there was a baby, It was covered with some clothing. I was seeing this from a tree on the right side of the river, i felt like i was a bird or some sort of animal and i was on top of a tree just watching everything. Weird as fuck, but its prolly from a past life. The wonders of life eh....

Oh gawd I get de ja vu all the time its so freak

I understand that feeling. Sometimes I feel like I "miss" Japan even though I've never been there. I think it has a lot more to do with what it represents for me than what it actually is, though. (for me, Japan reminds me of anime, anime reminds me of childhood and childhood friends)
I also get a "missing" feeling towards certain actors and actresses that I've obviously never met before, but again - more to do with what they represent than who they actually are.

i agree with aussiewolf

no its not normal. you are nuts.. nuts i tells ya.. :)

^ This

maybe you are confusing "missing" with "wanting". you can want something so bad that it "hurts". do you know what i mean?

Deja Vu maybe?
