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?

I remember knowing as a 4 year old that I used to be a man, quite knowledgeable and somehow important.
i was very annoyed that noone listen to me as I knew i had some kind of knowledge to offer.

DD once pointed out of a bus window when we were going somewhere and said 'I used to take my niece there for ice creams when she was little. It was a nice park.' I did ask, but no more details were offered.

I used the live in Australia in the 90's. 2 months before I met my husband, I had a strong sensation, continually, of a presence of a child. Shortly after we met, circumstances led to a move back to Europe. I'd lost a lot of weight - but packed all my 'fat clothes' as I 'knew' that in exactly a year I would give birth to a child.

Once we were in Europe - only a few months after having met, for the very first time we 'forgot' contraception. It only happened once - and I remember straight afterwords feeling panic and saying, "it's too soon to have a baby" So we resumed contraception again.

Afterwords I had several extremely intuitive moments including a dream where a boy came in from a dark stormy place and found shelter in our room. Afterwords I found out I was pregnant.

I am a practicing Buddhist and one of the foremost Tibetan lamas has said that sometimes the karma is just so powerful between certain beings, that they will come to you (as children) no matter what.

Our son is now 9. A pretty normal boy, although he does make interesting comments from time to time. The last one was "mum - life feels both dreamlike and real at the same time"

What a lovely story SWImmes Your son sounds divine. My dss also come out with interesting things. DS1 sees spirit, always has done. Ds2 didn't seem to show any spiritual gifts but lately comes out with things like 'I haven't seen a blue sky in ages' for their to be one that day And he was right, it'd been dull for months. Was dull when he said it. He's 10 and comes out with things an old man would say Lovely.

WHen my daughter was 3 years old we were driving through a part of town that I was not familiar with. My husband was calling on a client and we were going along for the ride. Suddenly my daughter said 'I used to live here when I was a nurse' I asked her when that was and she said 'before I was your girl,.. the hospital is down that road' and she pointed to the left. I just laughed but my husband said there was a hospital down the road where my daughter had pointed. The houses on the road we were on were old and large and divided into flats. My daughter said she lived there with other nurses !

[maltesers]

My 6 yr old said, "I'm talking to my friend (?), he makes me laugh"
"Oh, I said who is he?"
"His name is Rufus Reilly, and he died in 1964, he was murdered/stabbed"



My Ds also said, "I've just seen God back there in the street with a blue circle of light all around him". AND "I've seen him b4, in assembly. He is standing through the wall with blue light all around him !"

WWHHOOAA !!

[maltesers]

Children are very psychic and intuitive and know if they have been here before and connect with spirit forms..
I do believe we have all been here before.
Re-incarnation does exist.

[SilveryMoon]

I just asked my 3.5yo ds where he lived before he was in mummy's tummy.
He laughed and told me in a playground and he was like Buzz Lightyear
I'm guessing he doesn't remember or doesn't fully understand the question.

I've just started getting into spirituality, auras, energy and so on.
I have been doing some relaxation exercises and think I have seen the first layer of some people's auras

[ProfYaffle]

Not read the whole thread but my dd2 comes out with a lot of stuff like this. She drew and a circle and said "That's the pond where I drowned" She used to tell me all kinds of stuff from 'when she was a grown up' she lived on a farm and there was a day when the wind blew all the trees down and they couldn't find the baby.

A few weeks ago she was calling out for me in the night, when I went up to see her she had her head in her hands and said to me "I had an awful dream Mummy, I dreamt my life started all over again"

As she gets older (almost 4) she talks about it less and less.

My mum, DDs nana, died when she was 6months old.

My daughter was making biscuits with me the other day and I said to her 'you are really good at stirring this mixture' and she said 'i know, i watched nana do it in her kitchen' 'did you? when was that?' 'oh long before you were born mama'.

She has also said stuff like 'grandpa can come ice skating now, can you ask him to come back, his leg isn't poorly any more' (he had a club foot, DD would never have known this!).

It is all rather casual, just like normal. She also says things like 'why is grand-dad standing outside in the cold?' or 'nana misses you mama'

I try to dismiss it as childish imagination, but well sometimes it is stuff that does mean something.

[PavlovtheCat]

oh yes, dreams - DD has a bad dream once and woke up screaming, when I asked what it was about she said she was being born.

[ProfYaffle]

Just realised this is an old thread! And I posted on it before

[SilveryMoon]

Sorry Prof I was reading this thread yesterday

[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.

[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!

[MsKLo]

What a lovely thread

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

[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 :)

[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 :)

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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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!

[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!

[mamjo]

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