There;s a pretty good chance this is the answer, but even if the child couldn&#x27;t see the table from above but only reach and see things near the edge, if they could interact with objects on the table at all they&#x27;d still have some kind of mental model of the objects on the table and their positions and orientation. That could be enough to be able to generate an impression of seeing the table from above.<p>When my eldest was about 6 or 7 she woke us up because the was wandering around upstairs opening all the doors. I lead her to the toilet and when she&#x27;d finished took her to bed and tucked her in. The next morning she told me she&#x27;d had a weird dream that she&#x27;d been going around the house opening all the doors looking for something, but had no memory of me or going to the toilet.
