Feroluce: that wasn't excactly what I meant...I was a bit unclear up there. What I meant by 'collective memory' wasn't the ability to poke into other peoples minds, but more a thought that all minds are linked together into a sort of cosmic conciousness. By tapping into this conciousness, you can access the knowledge and experiences of every man ever born...A bit far-fetched for my simple mind, but still an acknowldged theory among certain groups of new agers.

I've tried entering anothers mind, voluntarily on both parts, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. There are some things you'd rather not know...
