I believe that a lot of babies remember being adults. I would say, from observing my own 3, that for the most part such memories surface in dreams (and dream like states, like riding in a car) and are carried over into waking state.
My son first spoke of living with his grandma after waking up from a nap, and for a long while every time he was in trouble he'd tell me he wanted to go live with her again.
My daughter seldom speaks of past lives, with her it's more of action, but I've seen several times when she has just woken up that she seems a lot older than 3.
My baby can't speak yet, but usually she wakes up very pleasantly. Asleep one moment, and sitting up quietly looking around the next, to the point that I seldom realize that she is awake unless she comes over to me, but one day she woke up with these heartbreaking cries (according to my husband) when I wasn't home, and nothing he could do would calm her for nearly an hour. When she was exauhsted from crying she sat in his lap and sob/sighed unitl I got home from work and picked her up. She calmed down somewhat, but clung to me for an hour like I was the reason she was crying.
