Nostalgia for a home that never existed.

I have the greatest longing to go home. I can picture my home vividly, the house, the land the smell of the fire crackling. Its a simple home in the woods with many windows looking out at the snow falling outside. The fireplace is stone. In my memory I can feel the heat pouring from it. I feel festive in this memory, like maybe its Christmas and people will be coming to be with me soon. In my memory I go outside and feel the coldness enter my lungs I can smell the snow and ice. I feel happy and very content. Thing is..I've never done this and I don't know this house I'm longing for. This isn't a real memory or a dream. But I feel so strongly for this fake place, this false memory I could almost cry. I feel like I want to go home.

    Perhaps you're nostalgic for a place you lived in a former life.

      I kinda wondered that myself. Im very open to the idea of reincarnation. The memory seems very very real. Strange sensation. I've had this memory on and off for a long time but just in the past week or so do I seem to be able to not stop thinking about it. And even though I tell myself its stupid to feel this way I've been borderline depressed over it.

    I feel the same way, except mine doesn't sound quite as much like a Norman Rockwell painting. The home I keep wanting to go back to sucks, to be quite honest, but I can't help wanting to go back. I've actually tried to master the art of lucid dreaming so that I could exist in this fictional place. I don't seem to be very good at that, though, so I'm working on creating that place for real.

      It does kinda sound like a Norman Rockwell painting doesn't it? Ha. I would love to be able to lucid dream. I too would want to spend many nights dreaming of my place. Interesting idea to recreate your place. Never really thought of doing that before. Maybe I can someday. But would be expensive.
