Hiya WF! (and JoyWriting forum), I've decided to come out of hiding for the time being. lol. Very interesting question, I think this is a question I can answer, (I don't always have the answers to many things or topics :-P) To me, the closest thing I've ever come to time travel was when I was watching a movie, and feeling various scenes of deja vu (which are not too often). I was watching the movie, Whale Rider, a story about a modern Maori village in New Zealand that is in need of a new tribal leader. The current leader of the tribe, Koro, who is old, is in a tough situation because next in line to take over is one his only grandchild, Pai, whom he rejects because it is a girl and a girl cannot lead a village... The legend goes that the original ancestor of the village arrived to New Zealand on the back of a whale after being capsized at sea, thus starting the line of the chiefs in that village. Pai would take that position, were it not the fact that she was a girl. Well, for some reason, I found myself transported back to that time (or the current time and place) of the people, the sea, and the landscape, even the Maori chants that were in the film. I suppose that was the aim of the movie, to reveal the culture of the people as much as possible. For some reason, I identified myself as part of the village in an ancient time, possibly as a warrior (or even as a tribal chief!) partly from seeing the landscape of New Zealand which was beautiful and awesome. It was the only time I felt so close to the sea, near the Pacific Ocean. It's very hard to explain the feeling, but I was there at some point in time. :-P So, I guess that is my time-travel story.
