Have you ever met anyone that you felt a really strong connection to that was hard to describe? Anyone you met who you felt was a long-running, mortal enemy from a past life? A person who you may not have anything in common with, who was kind to you for no reason?

Question is in title, related to just seeing Cloud Atlas. Just wondering if anyone has / had any similar experiences.

Nice try, Tom Hanks.

I dunno about cloud atlas but i look at older people sometimes and get this strong impression that we were good friends or something, but in the past life i had died and started anew. is that along the same lines?

not really, its usually just strangers, sometimes ill speak with them, but not always. nothing really has stood out from a dialogue. starts with a gut feeling and ends there. the feeling resembles (to me) a shared memory. like i can see it in their eyes, we participated in something together, or know a side that isnt usually displayed in public. for example, if we went to battle together, maybe i died, they didnt. something like that. not always a war feeling. but yeah, hope that elaborates a bit more.
