That Katarina Witt was her skating teacher. They had just seen her on a segment of Sesame Street. Katarina was not skating in the segment.

The child didn’t even take skate lessons, and was far too young to know who the skater was. It freaked her parents right out.

After meeting with some guy in a Navy uniform at a bar and grille, I asked my mom who he was. She said he was my cousin. I responded immediately that he was there at the hospital with us. She replied that I had never been in a hospital except at my birth. I told her that he was there with my dad and a friend, whom I named, and what they were wearing, who held me, the time of day that all happened as well as whet could be seen from the window, what the interior of the room looked like and what the nurses uniforms looked like.

She was terrified and from that point on, for about forty years, she thought I was some kind of demon child. This went on until she got too old to remember why she was supposed to hate me.

I had prophetic dreams too, like the ones where I was sure she would leave me and my siblings alone with our dad, she actually did when I was nine.

Thousands... many books out there... but probably such experiences weren't well-known when you were a kid.

to not share them because of the way I was treated when I did. I still have them and sometimes write them down even though I still recall most of them in detail no matter how many years have passed. They happen whether I'm awake or sleeping. Babies and very young children often look at me as though I have a small entourage of unseen beings with me. I often feel like I have others nearby that cannot be seen but felt. It's weird.

I'm sure there are many who do this, children are so open and have yet to find that our society frowns on such happenings because they can't be explained away very easily.

Discouraged. The cases which have been investigated I would love to see turned into a children's book!

Always used to say to me, “Remember when I was the mommy and you were the baby?”

Also, when her older half-brother was around 4, we were eating dinner and he was telling his dad, “Remember the time we did so and so?”(don’t remember what it was). His dad kept saying, “No. We never did that.” But he was adamant, “Yes, we did! Remember, when I was your grandpa?”

Pretty weird stuff.

It’s a very heavy philosophical thing made when his mom was dying of cancer. She’s in it, I believe, in the last episode or two (which kind of resemble your story).

It’s pretty cool. Famous thinkers talking meaning of life and death and such.

I’m not doing it justice.

Netflix has it.

All he investigated), he explains his methodology. The cases are fascinating! Everyone's favorite has to be the toddler in LA who gave so many clues as to a WWII identity. To dismiss that case is to simply refuse to consider any view other than what one wants to believe. However, my favorite is the kid in OK who remembered another identity and his mother made the effort to prove or disprove. But, I always laugh to myself when I picture that middle class kid in OK one day shouting to his mother that "he just wasn't supposed to live like this!!!" He'd been complaining about the loss of all the things he used to have in Hollywood in the Twenties!

Stevenson was a psychiatrist at U. VA., who was eventually funded his own chair by the CEO of Xerox. So, now all the naysayers here can scream that all Stevenson's research is useless because it was tainted by a donor.

Please be advised that if you are absolutely compelled to insist via a reply here that all survival of memory and a consciousness beyond death is pure fantasy, you are within your rights to do so. It would be nice if you could try to not come off as a stubborn mule, but that might be expecting way too much. For those who have experienced paranormal events, I advise you to totally ignore the rude replies. It's not our job nor is it needed to convince anyone of our opinion, just as it's not their place to invade our minds.

Have a great day!

if they were going to have roast beef for dinner on Sunday like always. Since they never had roast beef on Sunday, he asked what she was talking about. She said she was talking about Sundays in the other house. With the other mommy. Before the fire.

That wouldn’t be remarkable except for something else. One night she went upstairs to the bathroom. Her mother followed, and found her standing in the dark in the hall. She looked at her mother and said it reminded her of how dark it was before she was born. When asked if she remembered anything else, she said she had a rope around her neck, and that she had told her mother not to sit on Daddy’s bed.

Her parents had a waterbed. Her mother found it difficult to get out of it as her pregnancy advanced, and began sleeping on the conventional bed in the guest room. As she neared the end of her pregnancy her parents came to help, and she moved back into the master bedroom. Her water broke when she sat down on the waterbed. Her daughter was born with the umbilical cord around her neck. No one had ever told her these things, and our friends had never told anyone about the circumstances of how her water broke.

What they need, substantiation.

She would not want to be involved in a study.

Point. There aren't enough such cases to warrant research. Oh, well, it opened my eyes to possibilities I wouldn't have otherwise thought of!

Even those of us who care about others and this earth have some things that we will not let go of and we all need to let go of everything in order to truly move on. You, me, we, they are still learning and for some reason there are those who need to remember their previous life to help them work out what they need to learn in this life.

I have my own memories but do not share with most because people would teas me and think I am nuts.

Read it...you'd love it! Extremely reputable author and in his position, he stood to lose a lot by letting this experience out of the bag!

I will definitely get that. Thanks

and got very upset when people told her she didn’t have one because she didn’t have a brother. She insisted she did and would talk about things they had done together. I told her “That was before” and she was like “not now?” and I was “nope, not this time.” Seemed to make perfect sense to her.

It just came out. He took over the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia from its founder, Dr. Ian Stevenson. Both are pediatric psychiatrists who became deeply interested in researching seeming past life memories of children due to cases that parents brought to them. Both have researched such stories all over the world. Stevenson began his research in 1960 and in time he received funding to continue the research from one of the inventors of the Xerox process. Stevenson's initial groundbreaking book detailed 20 such cases. Tucker's book expands on the research, which he took over in 1996. While the preponderance of cases in Stevenson's time were in cultures that believe in reincarnation, Tucker has received thousands of stories from American parents, many of whose religious beliefs condemn the idea. The stories are amazing.

You can look up Tucker and the Division of Perceptual Studies online. He believes that consciousness can survive the death of a physical body and that aspects of quantum mechanics regarding consciousness will eventually explain the mechanism.

Had a difficult relationship. I did a past life regression to find out where it started. We were both servants at this castle. She was the head female servant. She was jealous of me because I was prettier and smarter than she was. Plus, I think I was schtupping either the Lord or some other important man to steal her position. This was sometime in the Middle Ages.

I have also had a lifetime in Ancient Greece, where I was a priestess. My current husband was my brother, but we were very close. One of my current friends was a student of mine, that eventually went on to train at Delphi. She and I were at Delphi together when we had this shared memory.

His theory is that human conscience emerges between the Iliad and the Odyssey (or that you can see it there).

Before consciousness, humans hear the gods directing what to do. After, there’s “I” thought or decided to do whatever.

He thinks the oracles at Delphi had the vestiges of the old school bicameral brain.

We stopped for lunch at an old mansion in the countryside that had been converted into a restaurant and I KNEW I had been in that very house before; I was sure of it. While we were waiting to be seated and my father was talking to the proprietor of the restaurant, I pointed to a closet door under the stairs and told both my father and the owner, "There is a switchboard in that closet." The owner looked very surprised and said that there wasn't a switchboard in the closet now, but there was originally when he bought the property. The house had been used during the war as a headquarters for the military.

I've been through Europe a few times, although not recently, and I got deja vu frequently.

admit this kind of phenomena is hard to explain away.
