When you look at a photo that was taken before you were born, or watch an old movie that was made before you were born, did you ever think to yourself, "Where was my soul at that time?"?

I know it’s a rather silly question, because you didn’t exist yet, physically, but have you ever watched an old movie or looked at an old historical photograph and wondered about your “spiritual existence” or where your soul was at the time? I’ve often wondered about that, especially when I watch an old movie like Charlie Chaplin’s “City Lights” and think “The sun is shining in that outdoor scene, the trees are blowing gently in the wind, there are hundreds of people walking around, etc., yet did I exist in some other world back then?”
