    That’s really wild. I’ve heard a bunch of stories like that, however not quite as scary haha.

    I have these flashes of memory from my childhood, some go really really far back to 5 years or younger (i’m 34). Memories like my grandfather who passed when I was 5, or an accident I had when I was 1 or 2 involving my finger and a supermarket automatic door. Among those flashes of memory that’s been in my head my whole life is a large theater with large red drapes everywhere, it’s not a very clear picture but I distinctly remember looking up at the domed white ceiling, ornate pillars, amphitheater shaped room with seatrows rising slightly as they go back. I have never been to such a theater, even now, and I have no idea why I have had a memory of one my whole life even as a child who had never been to or seen a theater before. I sometimes wonder if it’s a lingering memory from a past life.

      I have a memory like that. I can remember details going way, way back farther than I should be able to remember (no previous life or anything). One day I decided to delve as deeply as I could to find my earliest memory and I swear I remember an image like you described of my arm with a huge medical bracelet on it from inside an incubator.

      Unfortunately that memory is fading. I’m 45 now and every year it gets worse. I just don’t remember the details I used to and am finding more and more things that I completely forgot happened only a month later. The older members of my mom’s family all suffer with mental decline that almost approached Alzheimer’s like symptoms. They say to take your B vitamins. We will see if that holds.
