In my previous life, I was a tree. A lonely tree, a bumble bee. Gray hair, rocking chair, sipping a steaming hot cup of tea.

Boredom?

Assuming that dreams are an indication, I fell off a cliff in about 13 different lives, and in one my sister was eaten by wolves and then I was too...

...
But I think I will die of a heart condition in my early 30's in this life *shrug*

U-Boat captain, went down with my ship.

From dreams and irrational fears, I have died from zombies, a hobo living in my parents greenhouse, bridge catastrophe, plotted against and eaten by roaches, and lastly the dark.

Is your belief that your dreams are factually representing a "past life", or maybe are your minds way of using your sub- conscience as an outlet for concerns and stresses, or simply blowing off steam from your conscious, waking life?

I have had dreams where I was a bird, a larger-than-housecat, and other critters. Dreams where I'm not even there. Dreams where nobody else is there (I call them the "factory tours"). Dreams where narration in a foreign language is played over scenes of villagers speaking another unknown language (I call them the "Discovery channel"), and very often, dreams where I am aware that I am dreaming and will stop and redirect or repeat the sequences at my whim. I don't know what any of them mean, but I know that I would not share them with a shrink who had authority to net me and lock me away, because that may exactly what would happen. :(

I've only died once before in a really bad one car accident. My heart quit in the ER and I was a flatline for 10 or 20 seconds. Then they got my heart beating again, and I haven't died since (knock on wood ;) ).

In the year 21200 BCE, a wooly mammoth decided that the guy throwing a pointy stick at it deserved to be squished like a grape. I was so traumatized that I didn't incarnate again until the 1970's. I spent most of the in-between time playing checkers with Vishnu who would let me take 100 years per turn, but would take no time at all to make his own moves... yet he would win every time... except for that one time, though I think he just let me win that out of pity... bloody gods.

i thought Vishnu was a Sheila

Referred to as male in everything I've ever read, but as he is one of five manifestations of Deity, he can probably do whatever the hell he wants.
