Well they try and make it realistic. They give you a card and you are then "one of the passengers" The card has their specific history on it and what they were like at the time. I think i was some sort of maid to a rich family, if i remember correctly, then you go through and see a bunch of dinnerware and clothes and suitcases and all sorts of things from the ship.

At the end you find out if you lived or died.

I died...i think.

It was so very sad BUT a great experience and very fascinating.

She has a strange obsession with Will Rogers too. Who knows? But I believe she is an "old" soul so no telling what's behind it all. I guess she could be obsessed about worse things right?

yes there could be a lot worse things in life. it's good she has an interest in something historical.

before you enter the museum, they offer a radio type deal, ... rent. some exhibits tell a story about the things (like, a life jacket from the titanic) found in the titanic. rent the radio, you'll enjoy more so with it.

the same niece i went with to the museum, she did a storyboard for school about the titanic. there seems to be a big interest with young girls.

Gaea, I think you and I are long lost relatives. I have always had a fascination with everything Titanic. I have had nightmares involving water but learned how to swim at a very early age so I am not scared of water.

I once had someone do a past life reading on me and everything she touched on is something that I am fascinated with. Titanic, Japanese culture related to the time period of the Geisha etc.

So, perhaps my intrigue is based on memory. It is hard to say. It could be that the last moments of Titanic, the last time Titanic and many of those aboard saw life happened on my birthday (although 61 years prior).

Whatever the reason, that connection does seem to exist.

Reading this gave me chills. Ive never met anyone else who suffers water based nightmares..

I too believe in the "soul" memories

I
I'm no expert on dreams but I'm pretty sure that water-related dreams and nightmares are relatively common and that has been the case long before The Titanic was ever thought of (think of Shakespeare's The Tempest for references to water-related dreams).

I experience water-related nightmares regularly but these are tsunami / wall of water related, sometimes terrifying and totally unrelated to The Titanic in anyway.
