hallucinomemories?
yes
get ready to remember a life you never lived

[lostapprentice]

[Oh. Those things.]

of course. should i assume those will come quickly, or will i have time to prepare before i have to question my reality all over again?

[parodeity]

it seems to be an answer of "it depends"
for me personally they hit fast
and i still get them frequently
other people get them more intermittently
some havent gotten them at all
theres no real way to judge a specific speed that is universal since there isnt in fact a speed like that

[lostapprentice]

so things continue to make no sense. noted. maybe i'll be one of the lucky ones and get nothing.

[haha yeah right]

[parodeity]

i wish you all the luck in the world with that
and i mean that genuinely without sarcasm for the record?
because like
its unpleasant depending on the kind of person you are
and no one should really have to remember a life they didnt have at all
but especially if they dont want to

[lostapprentice]

i'm afraid that if i type what i'm thinking that i'm going to jinx myself, so instead i'll just say thanks.

i imagine yours haven't been that nice, then. not expecting you to share any details.

[parodeity]

they vary
nbd
some are a little vividly violent for my tastes but nothing i cant handle

[lostapprentice]

i would be more surprised if there wasn't any violence involved in these things.

[parodeity]

well prepare your shocker face
some people have basically just memories about singing and dancing as far as i can tell

[lostapprentice]

hold on.

[He's googling for a good one.]

Σ(゜ロ゜;)

[nailed it.]

that sounds completely pointless, as far as hallucinations go. i'd almost prefer the violence. [He might actually genuinely prefer the violence.]

[parodeity]

that probably says a lot about you as a person
though im not sure what it is that is being said as of yet

[lostapprentice]

i'm sure it does, no matter what this other set of memories ends up being. but i wouldn't wish it on anyone else.

[He's screwed up, but he at least has some compassion.]

[parodeity]

well thats cool
im sure some people would
as long as you can say you wouldnt thats a good thing

[lostapprentice]

[It's probably only because he hasn't met enough people to hate them to that extent yet...]

like everything else, i assume these memories come randomly?

[parodeity]

not entirely
i think most of them have a trigger
in something you do or say or something that happens
but theres no way to really predict those
so it in effect feels random?

[lostapprentice]

of course not. if you knew what would bring them forward, you'd already have an idea of this other life.

do you think that's what it is? or do you think this has been engineered somehow?

[He doesn't expect evidence or anything, but some other opinions outside his own head will at least help him get his bearings.]

[parodeity]

i think its past life shit
if youre asking for my gut feeling
even though the past life seems semi insane

[lostapprentice]

i suppose it's a more comforting thought than having our strings pulled in every way. but it just brings up even more questions.

[parodeity]

like how the fuck did we all get our asses killed
or
@universe: why tho?

[lostapprentice]

presumably the same way everyone else dies. i was thinking more of the latter. especially if we had such varied past lives, why we're all here at the same time.

[parodeity]

someone went on a soul collecting spree?

[lostapprentice]

which just brings it back to "why."

it's good to know there are others wondering the same, at least. even if we might not get those answers any time soon.

[parodeity]

maybe our souls taste really good in particular
and we are being raised for our souls to be harvested
like a soulfarm

[lostapprentice]

we'd only be so lucky. the confusion and anxiety would only add to that, too, i'm sure.

[parodeity]

thats like salt
or pepper
or some more exotic spice whose name currently escapes me
