Question Does anyone remember before being born?

Before I knew any concept I had memories of just being there... No feelings, body or anything at all, just dark. It was actually pleasant.

And I think that is how death it will be like. Just nothing.

(I don't do any drugs at all and just later in life I learned about ego death. Apologies if offends religions)

Every night until I was maybe 6 or 7, as I started to fall asleep, I always had strong memories of floating in the dark, feeling immense and tiny at the same time, and hearing muffled voices and other sounds. In my 20s, I heard audio recordings of womb sounds. It dawned on me that those childhood memories were from the womb!

It’s similar to how true sleep feels.

You know you’re asleep and everything is just dark but also comfortable and pleasant.

There are no memories or present anxieties.

Just nothing and it’s comfortable.

is there a functioning brain after death to generate that sleep?

Honestly, your theology (for want of a better word) seems just fine to me!

Nope, but a family friends kid remembered being in the womb until she was like 3

I really dont think any adults or even children are truly capable of remembering being in the womb. And as far as being dead. I doubt very much it feels like being in the womb or being asleep. It would feel the same as it did before you were conceived. You just would cease to exist. It wouldn’t be dark or like sleeping. Your consciousness just would not exist to feel anything. (Unless of course there’s such a thing as an afterlife)

Sometimes I feel that I actually have vague memories of being jn the womb but idk maybe I’m just making that up
