I'd like to come back as me, and get me right this time.

Bonobo. All they do is fuck.

a fish-sleek and fast, brightly colored-purple and teal

A dolphin because it would be different than a human but I would still retain the possibility of high intelligence.

I was thinking dog too, it seems like an easy life as long as i wasn't in the pound or something.

I wouldn't want to be a tree, that would suck having to stand in one place all the time holding my arms up. That would be tiring.

I over think this kind of stuff. LOL. I'd be scared to come back as a dog because what If I come back as a stray dog or an abused one etc. I do LOVE pandas. So maybe a Panda. Just roll around playing, climbing trees, & eating. I already feel like a Hamster sometimes, so I would hope not to come back as one. LOL. I don't want to be any kind of predator. So I would hope for no lions, bears, eagles or even owls, LOL.

One of my wife's dogs... boy they got it made. Eat and lay around and eat and sleep. Get snacks all the time. A present every time they potty. Cookies at night while watching tv. What A life!

Can I come back as myself?

If I had to come back I'd want to come back as some kind if raptor, probably a golden eagle or a red tail hawk. It would be amazing to just fly around without much of a care in the world.

@silvereyes, if reincarnation was possible I would like to come back as someone with more patience and understanding... Or a wild stallion, to run free on an open range

Well apparently from what I know of this Reincarnation belief (idea) you don't have a choice as to what you come back as. And it could be true ya know. Take Trump for example. He must have been an arsehole in a former life and he's came back as a grub.

I think its true but how can we live a new life if we are obsessed with what happened in our past lives letting go of your attachments is a part of life

I'd want to come back as a cat in a very good home. Nothing is expected of a cat like it is of a dog. I'd get to do what I want when I want. Of course I'd want to be an indoor / outdoor cat. I don't want to poo in a box all the time.

I may come back as a single drop of rain, but I'll be back again, and again, and again, -----------

Something that could fly - maybe a falcon or an eagle?

Okay, you've sold me on it: I want to be reincarnated as your lap dog. It sounds like a wonderful existence.

An old oak tree, thousands of years old.

Under one condition, no Christians cut me down and make me into Bibles.

a bear so I can sleep all winter and stuff myself all summer.

It had better not be but, if so, then I'd come back as a dolphin.

Thor

If I had to choose, it would be nutria rat. I think those rodents are fascinating.

Not necessarily as myself, but definitely human with my memories intact.

Why would I care otherwise?

I sometimes believe that spirits come and go moving from one entity to another as needed or applied... sometimes stay sometimes don't, they break and just not always around on you... spirits are purpose oriented... but the Soul... the soul is another matter... that is what you are and the only one way I can define it is that we are meant to reach a certain level or a mission to be accomplish and we will continue to comeback as humans until we reach that goal or level. Sometimes we may recognize another Soul from the past... or recognize a spirit of the past. As a child I used to have more fun playing by myself and creating stories sometimes pretty long than playing with my friends... I always ended tasking the storyline of the play because seems I was good at it. I could draw without any art education... I started writing poetry and song lyrics at 14 without any musical education. I knew 50 years ago what my mission was but I disregarded it. I still believe I could had been able to create great motion pictures under the different circumstances... I don't see me a director, neither an actor, maybe not a producer but a writer, the script, the scenography, the details, the labour of love involved in pushing the story forward. The Delivery of a Message. I believe I know I will be back and once again I will tell a story of some kind. A historian, documentary or correspondent of some sort witnessing an event or simply an artist pouring his soul on his art but not for glory or money... simply for the urge without any ambition, greed or desire other than creation for the sake of creation. a critic maybe. All Arts Attract Me as an affair of the soul not as a vehicle of fame or glory. My Humble Take. Bring Me Back Like Me and As Me. Regardless of What My Future May Be. My Soul is Still Training.

We don't have choices ..it just happens

One of my kitties! Sweet life!
