Line 87:
* In [[Stephen Hunt]]'s ''The Rise of the Iron Moon'', Purity dreams of a longago ancestor.
* The Tholians in the [[Star Trek Novel Verse]]. Encoded in their crystalline molecules is every memory of their people, dating back to the first moment of sapience. Many are buried deep, of course, not generally available to a given individual unless they're brought to the fore by powerful emotional or psychic triggers. Due to the short lifespan of members of many Tholian castes, memories and experience are often "uploaded" to the next generation from the pool of ancestral memories. This is one reason why Tholians hold grudges for an uncomfortably long time - the memories are fresh in their minds for generations.
* In [[The Host (novel)|The Host]], when the aliens (or "souls" what have you) reproduce, the mother allows herself to die to have a bunch of alien babies and they are said to retain the memories of the mother.
