There are many, many souls who exist in the Otherworld who don't realise they have died, as everything they had on the earth is there with them in the Otherworld. It is a state of transition ... they are left to realise it is their own evolution that dictates what state of awareness their consciousness requires.
Their Memory Body remains intact. Thus they still live out the human experiences in The Otherworld with no recollection of death. I've been told to call this 'death amnesia' ... their moments of death are forgotten. They find others who are the same and they spend their conscious awareness in a form identical to what they had on the earth plane ... as if nothing has changed.
This is NOT being Earthbound.
