Hypoxia and Medicine

Am I remembering what I read or am I remembering an actual event?

A little over 18 months ago, I got out of hospital where I was evidently taken due to a complication with Crohn's disease. I don't know all the details, but I know I had very low blood oxygen saturation. Anyway, I've recently been unable to remember anything prior to waking up in hospital except for my life up to and including my high school graduation. Thanks to my many diaries and my extensive use of social networking sites, the events and emotions of my past have been very well documented, and I've been reading it considerably in order to learn who I was during my missing years. It turns out that I had a very special friend with whom I spent much of my time over most of those years. A short time prior to my hospital visit, she died in a car accident. As a result of the untimeliness of her death, I've had no memory of her until today. My internet connection at home prevents me from being able to use video sites, but today, I'm house-sitting my sister's house while she's away on business. She lives in the city, so she has terrestrial broadband. I decided to use it to see what I've been missing on those video sites. In an effort to find out if I've been involved on any of those sites, I came across a video of my friend's memorial. Until now, reading about her was like reading about somebody I never knew, but suddenly this time, there's much more feeling than there was before, and now in my head I can hear her voice and the way she talked, the way she laughed! I know I have no recordings of her voice, but I feel like I actually know her, like she's a close member of my family I've known all my life. I donno how to explain this feeling. Have I been reading so much about her that my brain has somehow made up all these details, or do I really remember her?

1. Knowledge of past lives can shed light on your strengths, talents, preferences and aversions, sometimes in surprising ways. If you're a talented singer, chances are you developed your skill over many lifetimes of training and practise. Occasionally, people discover talents they didn't know they had -- until they delved into their past lives. With a moderate amount of training to refresh your memory and tune up your new body, it may be possible to revive long-dormant skills. Doesn't make any difference whether hypnotically-induced past-life regression experiences are actually real or whether they are a form of experiential THEATRE. As is the case with other forms of religious experience, You need to remain open to the exploration of memories from a previous lifetime as long as they help you to make sense out of your present existence. Good luck and God Bless you always...
