Revisiting a "past-life reminiscence" daydream one of us had

This was some time, I think in '20?

I recall one of us, je pense que it was Ellie or Reinhilde, was in an exceptionally heightened emotional state, exceptionally sad, and exceptionally species-dysphoric, when she (I know the relevant party was a she) had a daydream, set in the late 1990s, where she was a fox (Vulpes vulpes). The setting was a forested/brushy (definitely temperate mesic forest) area near the motorway (the English M3) we grew up near in the town of Eastleigh. The notable features were as follows: she had trichromatic vision, so it was clearly not a "videotape" from a fox brain; the whole vision was a whit fleeting (tens of seconds of footage at most); and there was no particular theme, she was just running through the forest, possibly chasing a mouse in order to have a bite to eat.
