Well now if you will recall, Mat was sick in the first book, because of the tainted dagger. After he was healed at the White Tower, he had all these holes in his memory. Every once in a while he remembers some things, for instance that fox faced lady witht he burning dagger. When Mat went through the Ter'angeral in Rhudiean he asked for all the holes in his memory to fixed or filled or something like that. It is probable that these memories are not his own from past lives, but I think they were. I support the idea that Mat is not one of the heros to be called back by the Horn, but was in past lives a ma/men of great value to these heros. Also if the only hero's to show up at the blowing of the horn were the ones not allready alive, that destroies the theroy of Oliver bieng Cain, as well as my theroy of Uno being Cain...Just some ideas. ***(all typografical errors are intentional and provided for youramusement)***
