Did she dream their names, or just what they looked like, or some events that happened to them? And why did she think they were "past relatives"? -She describes as a child giving a description of Uncle Eddie's living room. Uncle Eddie died before she was born. She never saw a picture of that room, but her parents told her what she was describing.-When her paternal grandfather came home from the war (WWII)in the 1940's she described him walking in a white jacket and baggy white pants. She was born in 1958, and knew her grandfather but had never seen those clothes on him. Her parents confirmed the clothing he wore at that time. These are two of the most vivid ones.-And you will remember she can tell me where to look for things, and is most often correct. At my age I can sure forget where I put something down. She also 'knew' a person jumped off the corner wall of a tall building. It was on television a few minutes later. I watched the television, she did not at that moment. Subjective, certainly, but verifiable, just as the NDE patients have had verifiable knowledge of events they could not have known about except during the episode. I've heard a physician from a hospice describe this as occuring any number of times in his experience.-You may not want to accept this, but it is hard to explain by materialism alone.
