Water Bear' hibernates in cold or heat and comes back to life in water ...
Tardigrades are interesting from a physiological perspective because of their extraordinary ability to withstand dessication as metabolically inactive, dried up "tuns". Tardigrades in this state can survive droughts as well as extreme cold, heat, and pressure, and are dispersed by the wind. When once again they come into contact with water, they revive and carry on about their business.

... well, if we may reincarnate in a water bear ...
... we can get to travel the universe riding a comet ...
