| Paka and Dintay |
| My mother told me that I had two "imaginary" playmates whom I spoke with, pretty much from my crib, until I was about 5-years old. She said that I would seclude myself behind furniture and in closets, then sit there and talk to "Paka and Dintay." I remember these names, they resonate within me as something familiar. But I have no conscious memory of Paka and Dintay or of what we talked about. I do remember going into closets though. I have always believed that there was more to this than having "imaginary playmates." For one thing, their uusual names. I called them by name almost from the time that I could speak. Where does a two-year old kid come up with names like this? If they were named "George and Suzie" I might forget about it. But, "Paka and Dintay?" During this same period, mom said that I befriended a squirrel who hung-out in my back yard. I fed him crackers with peanut butter everyday. I called him "Herman," and he got so that he would come when he heard his name. I was also always catching frogs and I called them all the same name---Mildred. Seems wierd that I would give the "imaginary" playmates odd names, but not the animals. What brought this to my mind was that, as an adult, I was once in a public place when this woman walked up to me and identified herself as a psychic. She told me that I had two guides with me, a male and a female, and that both of them had always been with me. The moment she said this, I thought of my "imaginary" friends, and I wonderd if they were my guides................. |
