Do any of you keep having memories of someone who's never been in your life?

I keep seeing visions of someone that I can tell is really important to my memory/past/alternate universe self, but I don't know anything about them. I've never had anyone like that. But even though I've never met them, every weird memory I've gotten seems to be about this person, so I think they must be really important.

Am I supposed to feel like something's missing? I figured this is a pretty common thing, so...

Thanks. Sorry if this doesn't make sense.

His pen name was Osamu Dazai. His real name was the same as mine.

[sunnyspot]

And you have one of his books? That's really cool. I'd be interested in reading it sometime.

I'm guessing it's not something I could check out at the library, though.

[thesettingsun]

I looked already, no dice. If you want I'll let you read my copy.

Warning in advance: it's depressing as hell.

[sunnyspot]

Are you sure? If it's a one of a kind item, I'd be afraid of accidentally damaging it or something.

Depressing... Some depressing literature is interesting, though.

[thesettingsun]

I mean, I'm not going to let you take it out of my sight, but you can read it.

It's interesting, but sometimes you don't want to open up a book and get smacked on the first page with hopelessness or death without warning, you know?

[sunnyspot]

Then maybe if you're there, I'll take you up on that offer sometime... Maybe.

But you should probably read something too, it'll be awkward if I'm reading and you just stare me down, unless you wanted me to translate it.

Yeah, you have a point. That kind of thing can hit hard.

[thesettingsun]

I don't want an entire translation, and I've got books I meant to read anyway. I'll just bring something else.

[sunnyspot]

Sure, that sounds good.

This doesn't have to be anytime soon, by the way. Whenever is fine.

[thesettingsun]

I can send you a message when/if I get more books of his, since I have a general idea what this one is about.

[sunnyspot]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I'll talk to you then.

thread wrapup just in time for tag freeze

[thesettingsun]

No problem. See you later.
