How did you die?

assume previous lives.

How have you died? You may have repetitive dreams about it, or maybe an irrational fear of a particular scenario......


I've fallen from a great height. ive been buried alive. that was the worst.

Car crash. When I was younger I had dreams about it.

If I use my dreams as a reference I also fell from a great height.
Into water.
I often dream I am on spindly, ill-made structures above the sea, which are swaying to and fro. Perhaps I was a sailor and fell from a crowsnest?

(Disclaimer - dreaming of falling is a common dream metaphor and not an indication of previous lives.)
