I had this crazy idea and it just popped in my head after listening to Let me Hear (from Parasyte the Maxim)
What if the whole world remembers their past lives? So fresh that almost all your 5 senses can feel it. Your reliving it again in a form of watching a phantom movie through your eyes. No popcorn included sadly.
Like say, my neighbor was once a famous scientist and was smiling with tears of joy knowing that his invention is being used to this day.
Talents you took years in the making, finally came back to you. Memories you used to hold dear in resurfaced back in your mind. Clap, clap, a drastic change.
Would the current You would still be You, now that you remember another part of You?
If I remember my past life, I would go crazy knowing how I died, the FEELING of DYING and had numerous regrets upon my death. I might develop some sort of fear connecting to my death. Maybe, I'll also end up having personality disorder wondering who's the real me that I'm standing as now.
Then what about those who died in the Asylum? Would their mental illnesses come back to them like a flash?
PTSD for everyone I guess? Unless, they have strong mentality to begin with.
Shimi: (- w -) Haha, that's just a crazy thought..
