Before I was in your tummy, I was dead, and before then I was a little girl.

[QuintessentialShadow]

My 4 year old son broke those news during breakfast today.

This was the conversation:

"mummy, what happens after you die"

"not much. you are dead"

"NO you become alive again"

"No sweetheart. you dont, when you die, that is it".

"no, you live, you die, you live again"

"OH,honey, you mean, what were you before you were in my tummy?"

"no mummy, before I was in your tummy, I was ead, and before then, I was a little girl. I had an older brother then also"

I was slightly taken aback. Is this normal?

there was television programme in the 'witness' series, i think called 'children's past lives'. it's not uncommon for people to remember. search jenny cockell.

I got pregnant in October, and before Christmas I asked DS if he thought the baby was a boy or a girl. He said "it's a girl, she's called Freya"
Several times afterwards when the baby was mentioned he said it was a girl, however when asked if he wanted a brother or sister he said brother.

Scan last month confirmed a girl!

"active", obviously!

Children have lovely a rive imaginations, don't they?

[amidaiwish]

my parents used to have a dog, they got him quite soon after our old friend/adopted grandad had died. when the dog looked at me i could see him. i never said anything but after the dog died my younger sister said "i hope 'adopted g'dad' comes to us again"

[piratecat]

ooh this thread.

it was my dd who said she had been following me around!!

Another thing she said when she was 5 was this. Now bare in mind me and her dad weren't together anymore, and i have never spoken of the subject, nor has she seen any pictures.

We were in our car and passed a pickup type truck, which was really muddy with red devon soil.

'Mummy that car looks like the one you went in'

me-'what car dd, when?'

'you know the one you went in with daddy in the hot place'

me-( shivering and beginning to know exactly what she was on about)-what hot place sweetheart?

'you know the place with the people with dark skin'



The year of 1999 when we started to try for a baby, we had gone to Africa on holiday, and had indeed hired a driver one day, in a beaten up pickup with makeshift seats in the back.

dd wasn't born until 2002. gulp.

It was inexplicable, totally, as i have said ex dh and i had been split for 3 yrs and the trip was 3 yrs before she was born.

Hallo everyone

Fantastic to see this thread active - alive and well :)


here is another like minded thread that started some time ago now...
unborn spirit children

Further to the spiritual nature of a child, many readers and posters on this thread may be interested in the Ringing Cedar Series and child led schools which have developed. The importance of a unborn Spirit, once born has a whole multi faceted meaning at these types of schools. I have heard of such schools in England. Personally, knowing the difference in a child from one who is secluded in play experiences alone (5 and under) and a child who experiences the world from a self lead perspective is huge. The child is vastly more self aware, more empathy, and more capable beyond literacy and numeracy.

Fascinating subject!

I also dreamt about my son when I was pregnant, had a shock when he was 2 years old and "saw" him from my dream!

Anyway, here's an interesting article that ties into this thread:

"He is carrying on the pioneering research of his mentor, Dr. Ian Stevenson, who beginning in the 1960s collected more than 2,000 accounts of children between the ages of 2 and 7 who seemed to remember previous lives vividly without the help of hypnosis."

Sorry just marking so I can come back when lo has a nap.

[Joekate]

Oooh, I've just been reminded of a friend's experience. We were talking about early memories (mine was of my Grandad who passed away when I was one) and she said she remembers darkness and saying "where am I" and a voice saying "you are in Govan and you are a baby" and she distinctly remembers thinking "not again" then opening her eyes and seeing little baby legs and just being so upset that she had to do this all over again!

[Joekate]

I've just started a thread on chat (my usual haunt) about my dd (4). She was sobbing in her bed last night because she "really misses her old mummy" She kind of described her and everything. Would you believe, I actually felt a little bit jelous! She was so upset and just wanted her, not me - I'm her new mummy! . Actually quite glad I'm not alone after reading this thread!

[thx1138]

Fascinating thread. When my ds was small he would often tell me about his other mummy - the one he had before me. I might ask him tonight to see if he can still remember.

[CaptainNancy]

I don't believe in any religion, woo, re-incarnation, spirits, ghosts or anything of a supernatural or paranormal nature... but these stories are fascinating!

My DD is one of those babies with an 'old soul'- it has always been commented on, and she acts like a 40yo rather than a 5yo. She has never mentioned anything about before she was born, but sometimes talks about shadows that are real which I find a little disturbing.

[chicaguapa]

Interesting stories! DD used to talk about DH's grandma as if she knew who she was (she died before DD was born) and this started after a trip to the cemetry where the grandma was buried. A DD of a friend of mine waved at someone in a graveyard once and there was no-one there.

DS always used to talk about his 'other daddy' who flew planes. I would joke that it was a pilot who would come round when DH was staying away with work. But DS would talk about his other daddy a lot.

[BamBam21]

Just read this thread and love all the amazing stories. My DS is 7 and talks all the time about "nanni", which was the name my DB and I called our gran. DS was only 3 weeks old when she passed away, but she was absolutely besotted with him, and I love to think she comes to see him.

My mum is very psychic, and can tell people so much about themselves, and how situations will turn out. I have had a couple of experiences, which frightened me, but I do remember just after my grandad died feeling his hand on my shoulder. I was very close to him, and it was truly comforting to feel him there.

Also, DP and I have both sensed a little girl in our flat. We sometimes feel her climbing up on the bed. It isn't frightening though.

Barbie if you find your local spiritualist church, they often do development classes etc.

[barbieisaskinnybitch]

I too have enjoyed this thread very very much. I find it comforting.

My dh calls me a white witch (he says it with love!) as I often sense things, see things, feel things & they happen. For example, when I was 16wks pg with ds1 I dreamt I was in a car accident, and sure enough when dh was driving us to work we had a car accident. I was comforted as my dream had already told me unborn ds1 would be OK.

I also dreamt of ds1's face - so exactly, in such detail, that when he finally reached the age in my dream (approx 4m) it was like a photo in my head.

Also with ds1, the moment we'd had sex I knew we'd concieved - I literally felt a soul come to me.

With both ds2 & ds3 I have known straight away that I'm expecting (though not as quickly as with ds1).

I 'smell' my Grandad sometimes - he used to smoke a pipe & had a distinctive musky aftershave too. When we moved last July into our new house I smelt him & knew all would be well.

Similiarly, I told dh our new house would have a certain type of plant by the front window. This was before we had started looking at properties. Sure enough, 3months later as we drove up the driveway here, we could see the grasses exactly as I'd described.

I regularly reference things that then come true & have known in advance if my babies are unwell.

I love this part of me & I feel very lucky to have these abilities.

Does anyone know how I can develop them?

Thanks for reading :)

[freerangeeggs]

When I was little I used to tell my mum that I had been a boy before. I used to point at houses and say "that's where I lived when I was a little boy."

I remember doing it, and I remember making it all up. It was utter nonsense, of course. I just liked telling stories :)

[MsKLo]

What a lovely thread

I would recommend reading 'many lives, many masters' by Brian Weiss

[thinkoutofthetoybox]

This is a great thread!
Brings to mind 2 things for me.
Firstly, I can distinctly remember feeling a man's face superimposed over mine (can still sense it now) when I was young. I know he had a moustache and would be quite freaked out when I felt 'the face'. I'm convinced this was me in a past life. Anyone else had this physical feeling?
Secondly, the night I met my DH, it was like I'd met an old friend. We spent that whole night 'catching up' telling each other about our lives to date. We both felt that we'd known each other before and were so happy to have found each other again.

Can't wait til my DS is old enough to ask him about his prior lives!

[asdx2]

Dd used to talk of her "other mummy" and her grannie and two brothers and baby sister. Her description of the clothes they wore and the poverty they experienced couldn't have come from books or TV because she was only three and I had monitored closely what she had watched experienced.
She described how she had died as a child and later came to me a kind mummy because her "other mummy" wasn't kind. She talked about being hit and there not being enough food so she was hungry.
She doesn't remember any of it now she is seven though.
