    Hi, I'm Meagan, I believe that I was Thomas Andrews, the designer on the  Titanic, for many reasons. One, I know a lot about the Titanic and her passengers, well mostly her passengers, but I do know a lot about the actual ship though, another thing is that I feel like the sinking is my fault, every time I watch Titanic, I start crying and feel so much that I was the reason for sinking, when i watch the movie, it always excites me when Titanic's setting out to the see and then get really worried when she's about to hit the iceburg, and I feel like the ship's my baby, and I'm sure that that's how Thomas felt about her, I'm pretty sure I'm Thomas Andrews, I'd be really surprised if I'm not.
*
    I have dug up some information, but not a whole lot.  I remember being on the Titanic and dying on it as part of the team coming from Harland and Wolff as I have memories of seeing the ship under construction and being close to Thomas Andrews, the head designer of Titanic.  I remember falling when the ship split apart and being in a part of the ship that I think I had a broken leg or hip or maybe pelvis on the right side.  I remember thinking I wanted to go home.  I remember the guilt I had as I help create this death trap and remember wanting to get Thomas Andrews off this floating coffin and he didn't.  I remember having an intense dislike for Ismay, I remember working long hours and missing family alot.  I often hear the screams and fear of passangers as it neared the end and I remember seeing blueprints quite often, I read about a man that could be a match, but don't know, a man name Roderick Robert Crispin Chisholm as he was the head draughtsman of Harland and Wolff and he was on the voyage and died on it and his body was never identified if recovered.  This past life memories appears in my dreams and certain stimuli sets me off thinking about it. I often wake up covered in a cold sweat and once took my temperature right after the dream and I was hypothermic even though I was under 3 blankets and in heavy flannel pajamas, I also notice, my breathing was so constricted, like I was drowning too.  It is like an asthma attack, I wheeze quite often from these dreams.  I am ok during the day although I am always stressed about something not being the way it should be.  Thanks for listening.  TTYL Cheerio. From, Anna

    Hello, well, I guess as others, I feel a little apprehensive to send this. I am not sure if this is a Titanic occurance or something else. I do know that I am 39, and at a very, very young age I had a dream about death and the ocean.
     I was raised in California,and it took everything for me to get into the water. I was never afraid of waves, or sharks, but something was always lurking. Something that I could not put two and two together.
     At a very young age (around 4) I had these reocccuring dreams of darkness. I was in water and as I decented I would look down at the bottom of the ocean floor (which was really far down) and see a ship with its lights on in the darkness. It was if it was beckoning me to come down and be there. I remember how pretty it looked, all lighted up, a massive ship, a beautiful ship, something that I have never been on in this lifetime. It use to scare me... I mean to no end. I would wake up with cold shakes.
    My family use to think I was worried about sharks etc., In truth I was very afraid of cold dark water...I never told them that, it was way beyond sharks, that was really nothing. It was more drowning and feeling alone...despair. It was such a big deal to me, that I overcame my fears and now I scuba dive. However, as I scuba dive there are some places that I refuse to go swimming... clastrophobic... or old memories... I will NEVER go into a sunken ship. It is if the ocaen beckons me... but I am afriad of certain things.

    Hi! My name is Lucretia, I'm Romanian and I'm 23 years old. What I am about to tell is a pretty odd tale. Iím not certain of it being a past life experience but I have always taken into account this possibility. I have never been a believer of the paranormal, that is why I rather trust coincidence, stress and hallucination.
    My father was a ship Captain (and he still is, because he still sails) and as a child, he used to take me sometimes, when he could, on voyages. The experience Iím about to tell, I remember crystal clear but my parents also told me how theyíve seen it from the outside. So, I was only five years old and was with my mother on the cargo ship my father was captain on, as he had obtained the possibility for us to once again travel with him during his voyages. I donít quite remember the whole voyage as I was a pretty small child, but I do remember that experience, that for some time I considered traumatizing. My father was to cross the Atlantic ocean with the ship. I have to mention I never had sea sickness, nor was I ever really scared of water, but I had always had a weird fear for drowning. Anyway, the odd thing was that I was told by my parents that when we got onto a route on the Atlantic, I suddenly became scared, I couldn't look into the water no more, although I always did that when on board a ship. At that time I knew nothing about the Titanic or ships sinking (I was too small, you know). As my parents, especially my dad told me, at a certain place on our route, I ran out on the deck, looked down at the sea and told my father that ran after me I was down there!î. I was sweaty, shivering and after five minutes fainted. As of what I recall, it's far much frightening (so it was for me at that age). I saw images and sequences on fast forward of a woman dressed in a beautiful white with green dress, on a beautiful boat. She was sad, she was standing on a bench in one of those images, in another she was staring at the sea. I felt like I was frustrated and depressed. At that time I didnít quite realize what these feelings were but later, looking back, I understood them better. The ugliest part and the one that mostly frightened and shocked me (and I think was self-induced because of my state, as I was scared to death), was that before waking up again, I saw the pale-white-purplish face of a woman, with white eyes, and ugly reddish hair and with dry, bloody lips, dressed in a white pajama I think (I only saw her face and her shoulders). I seen her in detail and heard her laugh/evil scream, then I suddenly woke up. When I woke up, I heard my father telling my mother Ýthat it was spectacular what just happened as we were close to the site of the wreck of the Titanic. I didnít understand what he meant at that time but years after, I was 12 or 13 I read an article in a magazine my father brought home about the Titanic. As I started thinking intensely about the Titanic, I had weird feeling of drowning, but thatís not the worse part, I had the feeling of practically being drowned, like that evil woman had her hand up on my head and was pushing me into water and I couldnít breathe anymore. To be honest, I never done any research on the Titanic disaster as I was never willing to know much about it, but somehow I was drawn to the subject. I have to mention that I had other visions of that ugly womanís face over the years, identical to the first one.
    Another odd thing about me, about which my parents always thought about was that of me speaking a pretty fluent English from a very small age. As a small child, at the age of 2 or 3 I already knew English. As an adult I mostly blamed it on watching to many cartoons, as at that time, we had Cartoon Network in English. And over the years, Iíve never studied for English and I was always the best in my class, though I never knew anything, the answers just came out, I just spoke. I am really curious about this. I want to know what this was, was it a past life experience or not? Who was the sad woman in the white and green dress, whose feelings I had experienced and who was the other woman, the dead/evil/ugly one who was trying to drown me and that scared me? Please, help me understand all of this.

    I am new to the witch literature but I feel that I have always had some connection, just never knew what. I am 31 years old and bought my first witch book, The Wicca Handbook, and within the first few dozen pages I see clearly why I think the way that I do.Ý I have always had many re-accuring dreams but one that I haven't had in awhile was that I was a passenger on the Titanic. I just remember chaos and then I woke up really cold. That happened twice. Both times I had the same feeling.Thanks, Frank L.

    Lately, I have been having weird feelings and senses that do not fit into my normal life. I firmly believe that I was a passenger on the Titanic. I will be sitting alone in my room or reading and I become overwhelmed with such strong emotion of excitement turned to terror. It feels like those dreams where you fall and then are jolted back into your bed. But I am not sleeping when this happens. Even now while I type this, i have a weird taste in my mouth and a feeling of aphrehension. I also get flashes of scenes...women walking with elaborate hats, admittitally fashionable even for that time.I have the impression that I was a young woman, anywhere from 16-20 years old, and that I died on this ship. I have always had a distinct fear of the ocean, and especially of boats, even though this is irrational, as I have never been more than a couple of feet into the ocean and have never had a bad experence.

    Hey! My name is Marie and I am 15 years old! I am pretty sure that I was on the Titanic in a past life. My Birthday, strangely enough, is on April 15th. Ever since I was four years old, I am 15 now, I would run all over the library looking for books. One time, my mother told me, I was walking through the history section. I pulled the book out and ran to show my mother. I open the page that had a full view of the Titanic and showed her and told her how scary it was to sink on the ship but it was beautiful before I had gone under the water.
Now about a month or so ago I was doing a book report on a diary with a girl who was on the Titanic. I had just finished and was washing my hair in the shower. I had stiff muscles and was slowly relaxing. My eyes were closed and that's when it happened. My vision behind my eyes changed,I could slightly make out wood standing beneath my boot covered feet. I was freezing cold, even though the water was warm, my body was rocking back and forth and right in front of my vision was water. I could hear screams of panic and fright of people around me and one voice I got a sentence out, "don't save your luggage save your lives." or something like that. Then I was rocking forward and I felt a hand grab my shoulder in a vice grip. The voice that belonged to the hand shouted "YOU!" and then I fell forward.
    Right after I open my eyes and just started bawling hysterically. I got out of the shower and asked my mother if anyone had shouted "you." she told me no. She asked if I was alight and I looked extremely pale. I ran back to my room and just started crying again screaming threw my sobs that I wanted to go 'home' and why are we here? Why can't I go home. (I was in my house at the time)
    A week passed and during that week I was terrified of water and my claustrophobia affected me even more. The one thing that got to me the most was that I refused to look at my reflection in the mirror. I never glanced at a mirror the whole time. I had the strangest feeling that I wouldn't see myself in that mirror. I'm probably crazy but I just was letting this off my shoulders. Even right now as I think about the memory I'm crying. Which is rare for me because I didn't even cry at my Uncle's funeral.
*
    I found your site through a web search, and decided I had to write. I've never just written this all down or talked about it with anyone for very long for fear that they'll think I'm crazy, making it up, or a combination of both. Particularly because my connections come fromn such a famous historical event.
    I truly believe that I was a passenger on the Titanic. Since I was a child I have had an intense fear of drowning, and a particular fear of the Atlantic ocean. To this day, I will not go into the water there if I can't stand comfortably, even if there is a boat or something floating right next to me, I just can't do it. When I was very little one of my favorite books was a picture book about a boy and his teddy bear who survived the Titanic sinking, and I remember one particular incident when I was young and visiting my grandparents who lived near the ocean: I was wading in the ocean about up to my waist when a wave pushed me over. I was only under the water for a few seconds... but I distinctly remember a moment of extreme panic and thought going through my head of "Oh god, not again, not again."
    I always think it sounds stupid when I say the movie Titanic was what brought the most of it out of me. I first saw it when it was in theaters while I was in middle school. Now, the thing you have to understand about me is that movies don't generally scare me (except for being terrified of the Sea Witch from the Little Mermaid when I was two). Disaster movies, horror movies, creepy stuff. It doesn't generally get to me, and when it does it's usually more of an "oh, that was scary" moment, and then the next day I've forgotten all about it. But when I saw Titanic it was totally different. All I felt through the entire second half of the movie was a powerful, deep-seated, and unnervingly familiar feeling of utter terror. All my friends saw it, and none of them, even the ones usually creeped out by stuff, thought it was all that scary. I wondered what was wrong with me and why I felt the way I did. For the next month I couldn't sleep well. When I could sleep I'd have nightmares. I was always alone, looking for someone, I don't know who, and I'd always end up (or be) in a room. I figure it must have been someplace on the upper decks, because there were windows (real windows, not portholes). I don't know exactly where I am, but there is water in the room and more water pouring in through broken windows, and everything's tilting and I'm at the dry end of the room. But the doors are locked and I'm pounding on the doors and screaming for help. And that's always when I woke up (and usually couldn't get to sleep again for
the rest of the night).
    I don't have the nightmares anymore, and I now actually own the film on DVD (partially because of my profound love for Kate Winslet), but to this day, even though I love the film, I still get and odd cold feeling in my stomach whenever I watch it. And I often find that if I watch it at night when I'm alone, I have to turn it off and can't finish it. -Mariah

    This may sound strange, but I believe that I was on board the Titanic in a past life, and that I died there. I have a recurring dream about going onto the ship, and I also believe that I was in first class, as I seem to remember conversing with the captain. Also, in the film of the Titanic, there is original footage from the launch, and there is a young woman, that looks extremely similiar to me in this life, waving from the boat. I believe that this is me. I have vivid nightmares of water, and I am now scared of drowning, and this is a fear I have had for many years. Fatally yours, Shadow

    I know this is already a large topic but I have something to add to 'Titanic' When I was about seven,(I'm now nineteen) I used to have a recurring dream about being on a boat. It had a glass dome above me and it was shaking. I was screaming because I couldn't find my parents. I would then be in the sea and there would be icebergs around me, and I was freezing. I've always been obsessed with the Titanic, long before the film came out - my primary school had a book on it and I secretly stole it when I was eight so I could keep it and look at it all the time. Please don't think this is just a weird obession for the film - but when I watched it I spotted the glass dome that I had been dreaming about, it was above the grand staircase, wasn't it?

    The second life is very blurry.  I know I was on a boat (Titanic?) that sank and I was in 3rd class/or the bottom part of the boat.  I remember that awful hopeless feeling that my children were going to die and they were begging me to help them, but I was powerless to do anything but hold them as the water rose.  I still cry when I think of this.  It haunts me.  My whole life (even before I had these dreams) I've been terrified of water and incredibly clausterphobic. - Cynthia J Puglia

    Hi, I've never told anyone this for fear of them thinking that it is silly, but I have thought for
quite a few years now that I was a passengar on the Titanic (I am 19 now).
    It started when I was about 4 or 5 when my Dad told me the story of the unsinkable ship Titanic. It had a familiar ring to it and I became obsessed with the story by the time I was 9. I had no idea how to find out about the ship at that time so my only information came from the odd book I might come across every year or so. One day when I was about 12 I saw a picture of the A-Deck stairwell and that night I had a shockingly realistic dream. I felt the grooves of the railing in my hand as I decended the stairs and I remember explicitely how clean and untarnished the gold plating on the front of the stairs was. It wasn't until later that I realized from a picture that there really was gold plating on the stair edges. Since then, I've found I can recall that
dream/memory perfectly whenever I like.
    I also used to have very short flashes of a beautiful room with lovely furnighings that I later discovered to be the first class writing room when I saw a picture several years ago. I once also had a daydream where I could hear my boots clicking against the wood of the deck but the noise was mostly drowned out by water splashing. I find that I am severly uncomfortable when cold and cold water in particular is overly shocking to me.
    I visited the Titanic exibition when it was in my city a few years ago and I found myself drawn to certain items and almost brought to tears at times (that is very unusual for me). I believe that I must have survived the sinking (although I have no memory yet of having been in a lifeboat), because I have had one or two dreams of wearing a green dress and throwing a flower off a pier in New York. The dreams are starting to occur again and I am sure that I was a young lady at that time, so I am wondering if possibly I was 19 or 20ish at the time. I also, oddly enough, find myself comforted by the thoughts and when I am distressed I find myself trying to get back there. Furthermore, I've always had an affinity for victorian style houses, furnishings and clothing
and have always found myself drawn to antiques from those times almost as if I was trying to collect pieces of the past for emotional reasons.
    Thanks for reading, I've been an avid fan of your site since early 1999 and my copy of The Wicca Handbook is so dog-eared now that I may have to buy a new one! - Rachel.

    When I was a very small girl (I am now 62 years of age) I used to have a recurring nightmare and would wake up terrified and crying.  I dreamed that I was on a small boat and I was watching a great ship, it was all lit up and seemed to me to be as big as a city.  I watched and I could hear people screaming and I was terrified.  Then, the boat went dark and it vanished beneath the water.  There were other people in the boat with me, one of them was wearing a uniform that had a dark jacket and pants with brass buttons and he had a neatly clipped gray beard.  He told me not to be afraid because it was the people onboard the ship's "time."  I would wake up with tears streaming down my face and would never go near water at all.  It was not until years later in school that I learned about the Titanic and I will forever remember that moment because I had this knot in the pit of my stomach and I wondered why I had this nightmare over and over. As an adult, it still frightens me a bit.

    Hello, I am 17. For as long as i can remember, i have had strange dreams. Every 8 or 9 months, i would have one of these dreams. I didnt understand them at all, until i sat through the movie Titanic in 1998. When watching the film, i realised what i had been dreaming were the events surrounding the sinking of the great ship. I only ever have told my current girlfriend, she encouraged me to try and rememebr my dreams, as when i wake from them, i am in a bit of a state.
    Well, one night i woke up, and i could rememeber quite a lot. I watched the movie also, which jogged memories, gave me a feeling of deja vue. i wrote everything down, and at one point, call to a woman, Edith, who shouts back Tom. She is being put into a lifeboat. I had a feeling it was near the front of the ship, on the left side. i guessed that the lifeboat would be either 4,7 or 8 depending on how they were numbered. My girlfriend phoned me up one night, very confused, and sounding quite angry. She had done some research by herself, and found that Thomas Pears had perished, and that his wife, Edith Pears had survived, escaping on lifeboat no. 8.
    these dreams last a while, around an hour. i often wake up at 2:20am, the time i know that the ship sank. It is all very strange, and very disturbing. My dream ends with me drowning, which as you can imagine is not pleasant. Anyway, just wanted to share all this.  I guess the comfort is that if it is memories from a past life, at least im not going nuts.

     I have always had this memory of being on a huge ship, more than likely the Titanic. All I remember was reaching out to a man, probably my lover, and being swept away in a current. I remember being in a red dress, modern for the time, with a red feather in my dark hair.  Until I saw the movie, I had no idea that women wore feathers in their hair like I remember.

    Hi, my name is Elli and my mum is a witch too. She was born on april the 15th 1959. The tianic sunk on the 14th of april 1912? Anyway when she was little (and she still does) she had dreams about the titanic. Here is one of them :
    I was a woman in the lower class area of the ship. It was a cold night and I was suffering of sea-sickness. My shawl was wafting around my face, the breeze was cool and the night air was foggy. About then I turned around and there was a sudden jolt when the whole boat moved. I was running along the deck screaming "Jenny, Angeline" I was fraught. The next moment I was wading in water banging on  a door screaming.  The next bit was muddled and strange but I was in cold, cold water and thousands around me were screaming and blue-faced.
    She also has dreams about stuff about to happen ie. the fire down the road. blessed be - Elli

    Hi my name is Meagan and i had a dream about the titanic. I don't know if it means anything but i will tell you anyway. It started off that i had just woken up and was lying on a bed in a very old looking room. i slowly got up trying to work out where I was when i heard a knock on the door. I opened the door to a formal looking man in a uniform of maroon and gold. he told me that i was welcome to have dinner with the captain and i agreed. He took me to a large hall with a very long oak table and many people where already sitting at the table. the man who lead me there showed me to a seat beside an important person.
    the table filled up and the meal was served. the important lady beside me turned and started talking to me! it seamed she knew who i was. after the meal I went back to my room and lay restless in my room. there was a huge banging noise as if an explosion had gone off under me and i fell of my bed. the room was plunged into darkness. I felt very afraid and tried to find my way somewhere but had no luck. when the lights came back on, i ran to the door and out into the hall and found that both ends had been sealed off with some sort of metal grate. there was a very loud crunching noise behind me and i realised that the ship was splitting in two. i was very scared but realised finally what was happening. the boat was sinking. for some strange reason i jumped out of the end of the ship where it had split in two. i was in the water and then i woke up.
    it was scary and i woke up with a cold sweat and i was shaking. i havent seen any of the titanic movies or documentaries. i told my friend who has seen all of those things and she told me that I described it excatly as in the documentaries. also i am very interested in the craft and i constantly wear a silver pentacle on a chain it seems to have protected me many times. - meagan, age 15

    I first learned about the titanic in 3rd grade.  I was amazed but concerned at what the teacher said because something told me it some of it wasn't right.  After school I told my mom and she checked out many books about the Titanic... sure enough i had located the exact problem with what the teacher had said.
    I am also known to talk in my sleep.  One night my mother heard me talking as clear as a bell and went into listen.  She told me i was saying names...First and last...10 names to be exact, over and over.  she wrote them down and in the morning without telling me the names of the people asked me what i had dreamt about.  I told her the titanic.  Later that day she pulled up a list of names from the titanic.  She found 9 of the 10 names on that list.  blessed be  *Flame*
*
    I finally firmly believe that I have a soul within me looking for something.  I never could figure out why I have such a passion for the year 1912.  One of my friends who I was discussing this with said maybe you were reincarnated from the year 1912.  I also have a deep passion for the Titanic.  I have autographs from RMS Titanic's owner and founder.  I have many books and signs, but was never really sure why I had such an extreme interest in this year and the Titanic. One night when I was watching one of my favorite movies, Somewhere in Time (which deals with a reincarnation of Christopher Reeves back into 1912), I had this sudden rush come over me, and all of a sudden the a thought came into my mind: it was that someone is inside of me from that time and I'm looking for someone; more specifically a lost love. Prior to this I was always wondering why I was always so dissatisfied with my past relationships, and I could never answer anyone's question: what am I looking for? I'm hoping in my heart you may be able to shed some light on this.  I've never been on this site before, but was excited when I  found it.  I wish I could find  someone who firmly believed in seances, so I could possibly find out who it is that's inside of me.  I firmly believe she's a beautiful, calm, caring person. Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me. - Sincerely, Michaela
