Did you or your wife have a dog like that when you were 16? Or maybe one of your parents? Some scientists believe that it may be possible to pass on memories via DNA. He could be recalling the memory of a family member that's been passed down, which would also explain some of the other similar incidents mentioned in the thread.

From the article: "A Nature Neuroscience study shows mice trained to avoid a smell passed their aversion on to their "grandchildren"."

Doesn't that more or less explain the "natural instinct" of animals? Memories of eating that poison berry or getting killed by that predator that are passed down from generation to generation, in turn leading future generations to avoid that threat instinctively? Since humans are animals as well, isn't it possible this phenomena also applies to us?
