Imagine if you woke up back in the past and had to relive everything from that moment again, how would it make you feel ? I think i couldn't handle if it was as far back as school age but i could live with reliving from age 17//18 again.

How would you know? Or are you saying that the present-day you wakes up as an adult, but back in the days when you were a schoolkid?

Would be the best feeling ever.

I think you're waking up in your present.

Part of me would like to go back to myself in University, I had a fairly dull student-life it would be interesting to see if I could change that, but I don't think I want to be doing all those essays and exams again

Would probably be better to go back to my first day of paid-employment again especially as everyday on my way to work I'd pass by this really gorgeous girl but was always too shy to talk to her. Now with a few years under my belt I'd hope to be able to just talk to her and ask her out

Do you have to relive it just as it was, or can you change it? If you can change it, I'd have more sex.

But that could all go horribly wrong...

While having more sex, you put your back out.
You're hobbling to the shops in search of a tube of Deep Heat, and a bus driver swerves to avoid you as you slowly cross the road, crashing into a lamp post.
The bus driver was going 2mph over the speed limit, and is charged with dangerous driving.
All the other bus drivers come out on strike in support of him, quickly followed by members of all the other professions who are fed up with idiot beaurocracy. Within days, the entire country is in a state of unrest and the government have called in the military.
This leaves our defences seriously weakened when the inhabitants of a small island off the coast of Iceland decide to take advantage of the situation and stage a successful invasion.
We're expected to worship Cod instead of God, Bjork is piped from speakers placed on every street corner and the only nod towards our heritage is a chain of warm beer shops called 'England'.

And all because you decided to go back and have more nookie. Don't do it

Could be all worth it if the nookie was really good.

If I could go back with all the knowledge I have now then sure, why not? It would be interesting to replay everything and be able to make better decisions.

It would be great. A chance to rectify the mistakes I made but even better I'd have knowledge of what was going to happen in certain events. Sports, election results etc. Could make a fortune betting or by posing as the world's most convincing psychic.

Imagine actually knowing for certain that Leicester City were going to win the league last season at odds of 500/1 and also that Trump and Brexit would win which were seen as long shots at varying times. Would of course make sure I got into bitcoin early too.

I misread the thread as "Waking up in your own mess". I'd go back 8 hours before stumbling in the bed paraletic and wetting the sheets

I'm guessing the first poster maybe means waking up the next day as a 17-year-old and knowing that you were much older the day before.

I wouldn't mind reliving certain parts of past.

Brilliant. The old step on a spider and set in play a series of events leading to world war 3.
I think the latest theory goes, if you went back and changed anything, even stepping on a spider, your new reality splits of from the original one.....you would be forever trapped in the new reality. The rest of us would still continue in our reality regardless of what you did in your reality.
*multiverse theory*.

Hmm if you knew about your previous life, and was expected to live your life the same, I would commit suicide rather than deal a second time with becoming disabled in my early 30s, working until retirement, in a lot of pain every day which is still ongoing. Who would want to repeat that?

If I could live my life again without all that baggage - hell yes Especially if I could retain my self confidence and sense of self worth from my old life - not keen to be a teenager full of angst again.

Think how much money you could make by betting on sporting events (assuming you have a half-decent memory for things like that)

Surely you are thinking of the beat of a butterfly's wings in South America

Brilliant idea - as long as you go back with full knowledge. Sooner or later though you'd trip up and let the cat out of the bag in some way. That's not going to end well. You'd end up either sectioned (12 Monkeys, anyone) or topped by a Black Ops assassin because you're seen as a security risk to the Government or more likely the real power brokers working behind the scenes.
