Joanne, your memory could also appear on the "Life After Death" thread. I do sometimes wonder if we see more as children because we haven't yet learnt that some things "do not exist". Perhaps teaching can limit the mind as well as expand it. One good example is that I used to be good at "intuitive" maths - I could see a problem (some quite complex), and would know the answer, but had no idea how it was achieved. Naturally, even though the answers were correct, this did not sit well with the teachers at the grammar school, and the ability was soon ground out of me. Judith - at last! A memory similar to my own! I wonder if there are others sitting out there, to nervous to admit this strange, subconcious (for want of a better term) memory. Len, your suggestion seems to be a common idea, and it is one that I have thought about, though I do have reservations about submitting myself for hypnosis. I live in Yorkshire, but it is nice to know that there is a town named after me! Rob

Just caught up with this thread. My youngest daughter from learning to speak used to say" when I lived in the orphanage, before I came to live with you" then went on to tell us a story. How can a two year old know about orphanages?

my memory(age 3)...wanting a cabbage patch kid so much..id planned everything down to clothing was gutted when i got one as i'd asked santa for a girl..and it was a boy{yuk}still i learnt to love him dearly and he's now entertaining my own daughter some 24 yrs on.xx

i have so many memories from childhood,probably cos they were some of the happiest,but one ive always rememberd,is when my nan in neath was unwell,and i was sent to stay with my aunt in tewkesbury for two weeks,and her boyfriend was a right misery guts...i should be seen,and not heard etc..when he came home from work,he would eat a big dinner,and then gollop down a massive rice pudding,enough for four people,and i remember asking for some,and he gave me a spoonfull...bloody hated him,big fat pig! bryan.

Interesting one, Maureen. In another thread, Len of the Chilterns mentions that scientists have shown that memory does exist pre-birth, perhaps from as young as 12 weeks after conception. What I postulate (if that is the correct use of that pompous-sounding word) is that I (and perhaps Judith's husband) have a memory that may be days (or even hours!) after conception. Is there anyone doing serious research into memory along these lines, or do scientists only work with people who have lost memory? Rob

i can remember when i was 5 and my brother built a go kart.too frightened to go in it.he promised not to push me too fast even though ther was a big steep hill which i would be hurterling down.i got in and he push me so hard that i had to use my knee as brakes.you could just imagine the state of my knees when i got off!

There is quite a lot of evidence that memories from a previous existence may rarely be recalled. Scoffers read the Life after Death thread, in particular my bit about Socrates. len

Rosemary You don't suggest what age you were when you were staring at your hands, only the inference that you were less than 2. Yes, Len, your Socrates bit was good food for thought. However, as you rightly pointed out on the LAD thread, scoffers just scoff; they do not offer any cogent argument to support their views - to them, the world will always be flat. Rob
