Quotewhat tv has he watched recently?
A few months ago, my youngest and I were having a "camp out" (no not acting gay) in the sitting room for the fun of it and when he finally fell asleep he started to talk in his sleep and kept saying "mint" in a very posh English accent. I took the p outta him for days about it but that was all I thought of it.
Last night, he was sleeping in my bed (has been having nightmares lately) and just as I was about to go to sleep he sat up (still asleep) and said "Doington Doington Doington" again in a posh English accent. He sounded like he was chastising someone. I said "whats that Jake?" and he responded with "Doington, Doington" and lay back down and went to sleep.
Now I am begining to think that he is getting past life memories as a rich posh bloke in England. I googled Doington and there is some link to a family in America in the 1920's and I found a guy on Facebook with the surname Doington so have sent him a message to try find out about his family history.
What do you think? Should I stop letting him eat cheese?
what tv has he watched recently?
He is showing signs of being poscessed , please I implore you to take him to an area of the Gealtacht immediately , the possession of a child by an entity that manifests itself in the child as a posh English accent is getting all too common in this fair isle of ours. I blame the TV and EPL.
Then again it maybe the cheese.

I'll update this next year.
Nothing unusal in his tv diet. He was watching a documentary on WWII yesterday evening before he went to bed but usually its Zac & Cody & Wizards of Waverly and other generic american kids shows.
I find it fascinating that he gets such a perfect posh English accent in his sleep. I know he was here before in the late 70's early 80's and was about 5 yrs old when he got hit by a bus and killed and I think he is a very old soul so may have been around a number of times.
Yes am one of those hippy freaks.
Loads of people talk in their sleep. From my experience (being told what I said in my sleep and hearing people talk in theirs), half of it is dialogue from dreams (you said he's been having nightmares lately) and the other half is replaying stuff from your day, if that's any help.

Yeah am a sleep talker myself and I know he has always talked in his sleep too its just this English accent that is kinda weird!
Not a past life but not weird, the mind is quite powerful after all and can invent entire worlds for people to live in.
Some even think dreams are snippets of what your soul is up to in a different life/galaxy/dimension which, if true, makes me very envious of the Jebus that inhabits the dimension where he goes around saving the universe from the Decepticons with his trusty sidekick Liz Hurley
That's possibly the most barking mad post I've read on here, and that's saying something!Originally Posted by Magicme
Just curious, Magic - How the Hell do you know that??
Quoting years at random since 1975
I was doing some deep healing on him a few years ago and it was like watching a movie of his other life. I have also seen my mothers other life and now know why everything to do with the orient scares the bejaysus outta her.
As for being barking mad, maybe I am but maybe Im not.
You're not mad magicme, just credulous. I don't mean that in a nasty way, but technically. I'd suggest reading the book Trick or Treatment by Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst. It's about alternative medicine but the underlying lesson about evidence-based medicine and evidence-based life in general should put paid to the faith-based things you to tend towards. You can buy it from the official website. Seriously, buy it and read it, you'll be a better person for it.

Middle of September is Magic mushroom season , not implying anything, just making an observation

Hate mushrooms but maybe since they grow in the park behind my house some of their influence is floating in the air to me.
Adam, would be interested in reading that alright but I think I will still believe in the same way some people will never believe and I respect all view points.
If you read it diligently with an open mind, you won't. It presents the argument that facts and science should be our guide to truth and life, which in my opinion is impossible to argue with. (Actually it's not an opinion for me, in somewhat circular fashion it's a fact.) Even I have some silly superstitions, but after reading that book - and Bad Science by Ben Goldacre - well, I just feel foolish when they occur to me. You will too.
I should have mentioned Bad Science earlier, read that too. Do a one-two on them. You won't regret it, they're absolutely fascinating. But read Simon's book first, he's incredibly good at explaining even the most complicated concepts to regular people like you and me.
If anyone reading this thread is into crypto, get Singh's Code Book if you haven't already, probably my favourite non-fiction book of all. If you read it, you'll understand the basics of quantum mechanics. Seriously, he's that good!

I was just about to post that. Halfway through Goldacre's book at the moment and think it should be on the curriculum. I would recommend it to anyone. There's another book in the same vein I read earlier this year but I can't remember the title now, I'll get back to you!

But I like being protected by my angels, talking to the faeries at the bottom of the garden, believing I was abducted by Aliens (thats what my regression was about btw) and knowing that my crystals help me sleep better. Dont want science to interfere with the peace of mind I have!
There are no angels or fairies, you weren't abducted by aliens - or Aliens for that matter - and crystals are just minerals that have organised themselves into pretty patterns. Read Singh's book, then come back and read your own post. You'll probably try to justify it, but you'll feel dirty doing it. Science is science, facts are facts. You can't argue with them.
adam
Yeah you can. And you just killed some Faeries by saying you dont believe in them.
Maybe your son is just a comic genius an gets immense pleasure winding you up by doing this English accent thing when he knows your listening!
My bet is himself and his friends are having a right old laugh about this while they play Pokemon(or whatever weird game kids play now).

Don't worry, they will get him in the dead of night and take them back to their enchanted cave. Simon Singh, the man is intelligent, but he takes everything too seriously, even songs http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/...ereducation.uk
