Can it really be possible that my son remember things from his past life?

My son is 5 years old. Since he was very little he has talked a lot about the way he died. He says that he was placed on a grave yard, but he didn't like it there so "he went up". What does that mean? He also says that he doesn't like to dream. Could that be memories from a past life that haunts him? He is normally a very harmonic and sweet child.
He can also "see" things - I remember I could when I was a child, but I have always thourght that this was only my imagination. He could describe his great grandfather totally without ever have seen a picture of him - he was 4 years then.
He also says that he remember when I was an "angel".
I actually find it a bit scarry - Does he really see these things, and have he actually lived before, and do we know eachoter from "after-life"? I hope someone out there can help me out here. I want to believe my child and do the best for him!
 
Well, gosh. What a loaded question to ask on a reincarnation board. Yes, it is possible. Look to your heart. What does it say?

I didn't mean to sound so sharp in my note. I think, yes, it is possible. Also possible you lived before, and will live again. I feel so sad that so many people don't get it. Why would it be so hard to accept? It is as natural as the sun setting and rising, and the change of the seasons.

I feel so angry that people have their heads filled with untruths because others gain political advantage this way. They have used people's personal beleifs as their battleground. As you beleive, so flows your money. There are people who profit from your "not knowing". Shame on them, generations of them.

Confabulation: The more or less unconscious, defensive "filling in" of actual experiences, often complex, that are recounted in a detailed and plausible way as though they were factual.

You have to be sure that hes not confabulating, though. How do we do this?

Thanks!

"One life, many lives."
 
From hundreds of cases like these, Bowman has distilled the signs of a true children's past life memory. These signs are illustrated throughout the stories. They include:

Matter-of-Fact-Tone: When young children speak of past lives, their tone becomes serious, matter-of-fact, and does not resemble the sing-songy, lilting style of fantasy babble. Adults sometimes notice that a child's countenance becomes calm, almost adult-like, as they speak of their other life.

Consistency of Detail: Unlike the stories of a child who is fantasizing, the basic details and facts of the stories remain consistent over time, though the child may fill in more details as his language improves.

Knowledge Beyond Experience: Children speak of events or facts from the past that they had no way of learning normally, or show an uncanny adult understanding of emotions beyond the experience of a very young child.

Memory of Death: To the parent's amazement, a child will matter-of-factly tell them he remembers being shot, or dying in a car accident, or in a war, sometimes in explicit and clinically graphic detail.

Behavior and Phobias: Inexplicable behaviors and fears that bewilder the parents suddenly make perfect sense in the context of the past life-especially the mode of death.

The Age Window: Children speak spontaneously of their past-life memories for only a short time, usually between the ages of two and seven; these episodes of lucidity are brief and appear to be random.


Thoroughly researched and substantiated, Bowman's Return From Heaven draws from the work of scientists like the past lives researcher Dr. Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia, who has spent forty years documenting and verifying over 2,600 cases of children's past life memories. Bowman explains why Stevenson's work "gives level-headed Westerners permission to treat reincarnation as a serious subject, even to accept it as true, without compromising their trust in reason or science."
