So, this isn’t news, nor is it science, per se. But I wanted to share here because I was one of those kids from about 2 to 4. As mentioned in the story, it of course all faded thereafter, but I could talk at length about my life in Texas even though I had never been. My parents found it odd but not entirely outside expectations.
Appreciated your post very much. Thank you! In a society and Internet where rational thinking is extremely common, it is, at least for me, unusual to come across these kind of public posts. I can, to some extent, relate to the actual content and it does remind me of an old friend (RIP) who told me a memorable anecdote about his moments of clairvoyance. It also reminds me what I’ve read in several books : Children grow up and almost always parents tell them to shut up about their imaginary friends or the colors around persons they see. And that is actually not that very bad because in order to “survive” in society and to cope with all the impulses that our senses have to deal with it is useful to be able to filter some of the input. It should however imho not make the world even more rational than we need to.
