I have vague recollections of a wild mind when I was quite young.

To be sure, the article discusses two year olds and I neither remember being two nor and I suggesting that my imagination when I was young somehow explains away these accounts.

Nonetheless, as I say, wild times for a child mind trying to "form", trying to figure out how to process the world.

I recall some nightmare that would return periodically over a span of years. Or maybe not? Like deja vu, the mind is an unreliable narrator.

The night terrors I am quite sure were real. They finally passed sometime in my teen years. Sadly I had to witness night terrors in a few of my own children. Thankfully for them I knew what they were and would stay up and comfort them in the night until they fell asleep to forget. And I could tell them that these too would pass.

So while still being the skeptic of anything like reincarnation since it would upend the world view I have carefully pieced together from almost sixty years of observation, I did recognize in the children that untamed mind I once had when I was their age.
