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?

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."

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.

hi papillon nice to see you again
('tis i, fransmom!)

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.

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"

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

"active", obviously!

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!

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.
