From Mark Jones, Reading, Berkshire, UK
In researching infant consciousness, has anyone sought input from people who were themselves recently babies? I no longer have direct memories of being a baby, but do recall as a 4- or 5-year-old, reviewing my infancy, including my cot and pram. I would have been a willing interviewee. Moreover, until about age 10, I had recurring nightmares, a synaesthetic melange of rhythm, colours and base emotions, which I later felt might have been a reconstituted recollection of my birth (15 February, p 38).
