One thing that is very common in small children, is exactly as per that man’s last example immediately before the clip cut off - for a very young toddler to say “when i was your age, i used to blah blah...”. It’s at the point before the child has learned differentiation by pronoun, and when they’re simultaneously also still learning language by repetition.
I never told stories about past lives, but up until I was about 8 years old, whenever I was alone and perfectly still - like in the bathroom for example - looking down over myself, I would see my arms, leading into my fingers, limbs connecting to my torso, legs leading down to my toes...
And a feeling of total disassociation would completely overwhelm me, because as I saw my limbs, or then looked in the mirror to reconfirm, i was physically spooked by the VERY certain knowledge that I was an “imposter” in my body, for lack of a better word to describe the actual feeling i used to have.
I just knew that inhabiting this body was BRAND new to me, and I was fascinated. Fascinated also that it could even be, that I knew that my inside came from somewhere else, and was just completely unrelated in any way to my outside, physical shell.
And then I was also terrified, when I would realize that I knew that the body was new to me, while *I* was not new, and neither had “I” always been in that exact self.
Years later when I told my parents, they just said to me “thinking dissociative thoughts is dangerous”.
It sounded so dark, and like something that I COULDN’T entirely disagree with, that I shut up and never mentioned any of it again.
But the feeling I used to have when I saw my own body still gives me the creeps now, if I think about it for more than a second.
Because even as child, unnerving wasn’t even the word.
