I was born on 23 April 1960. I have several vivid memories of what I am sure is a recent past life. Most of these memories involve a woman, a man, and a red headed boy I would say is in his late teens. Because of my surroundings in the memories (the house, car and just the total look), I would date them no earlier that the late 40's. My mother has known of these memories since I was a child, and since she was the only care provider for me and my siblings (two younger brothers and three older sisters), she agrees that these memories could not be from this life.
In one memory, the man and the woman both are bathing me (I am around three or four years old). When they are finished the man pulls the drain plug out and when the bath water stops up he curses. I remember repeating what he said and then being taken to the adjacent bedroom, and spanked.
In another memory, I am in the backyard. They have an old wagon in the yard (it looks like one of those old medicine show wagons). The woman tells me if I go out to the wagon I can get some ice cream. When I go out to the wagon, the red headed boy jumps out from behind it and scares me. Another time, I am sitting in the front passenger seat of what appears to be a late 40's to mid 50's model Ford or Chevy. The red headed boy and three other boys are sitting on the front fenders of the car. The red headed boy is sitting closest to me and he is looking in at me and playfully making faces and laughing.
Another time, the woman and I are on a balcony with a railing in the middle of it. We are both laughing while she chases me around the balcony. In another memory, I am in the backyard again. There's a small cement porch at the back door with a awning over it. The awning has black rod iron supports. There's a black german shepherd with a brown snout tied to one of the rod iron supports. There is another smaller boy with me. I feel like the woman, man and the red headed boy are my family, but this smaller boy is a friend. The smaller boy goes up to the dog to pet it, but the dog bites his hand and he begins to cry uncontrollably.
As I said, my mother believes these memories are real, but my wife on the other hand, is very skeptical. I've always wanted to somehow investigate these memories further, but I don't know how to go about it. Because of the time period, I believe that some of these people could still be alive, particularly the red headed boy. I look forward to hearing from you.

Recurring dreams or memories are common with people who have had past lives. Like they have been there and experienced it realtime. Some people have had several episodes of past lives. We (of Otherplane), receive readers accounts regularly and the request is the same...can you check and see if I really did experience a past life or is it all just a dream turned so real that I actually believe I lived it.
Some of our return readers are also gifted, however, you are not. For what it's worth, in your past life, you died of sickness when you were 13 years old.
