Past lives, comes from ancient cultures that believed in reincarnation such as Japanese, Africans, Australian tribes, and other newer religions, that look at reasons why your past lives influence what your life is like today and dreams or feelings you have towards certain aspects.

Your past life is believed to have been influencing your health, your mental well being, and your social interactions at this present life. And because of this, it will be better for you if you will be able to make yourself stronger and better now by knowing your past life, whether what you were before or settling what you haven?t settled before.

When you have disturbing dreams that seem like real life, but don't fit into any experiences you have ever had, it could be from a buried subconscious memory of a past life. People who think reincarnation is possible also believe that everybody is a reincarnated soul, but that some are older souls, while some are newer souls that are just recycled into new bodies. Other signs of possible reincarnation dreams:

* You may be fascinated or strongly attracted to a culture which you have had no exposure to and which does not feature anywhere in your present life. For example if you are unreasonably attracted to the Mesopotamian era and fascinated by the art in that period then there may be a possibility that you have a connection with that place. Try to learn more about the culture to know specifically what attracts you. If you can narrow down the time period then you may get a good hint.

* You may be unreasonably passionate about some happenings in history. For example you may be drawn to a battle in history where you feel passionately about one party. This may indicate that you have a connection.

* Fears which are irrational and not connected to your present life childhood. Allergies, psychological problems which don?t have a cause in the present life time may have a link in the past.

The fact that you have experienced any of these doesn't necessarily mean you are remembering a past life, it is usually indicated by patterns, attractions, tastes, incidents in your life that are put together to indicate the possibility they may be coming from a past life because they have no basis in your childhood or present life.

Self hypnosis or hypnosis by a past life regression therapist may also yield great results in past life regression. These regression therapists hypnotize you to help you delve into your deep subconscious memories.

Self hypnosis can be accomplished by many techniques like relaxation methods. Practice relaxing before using self hypnosis for past life regression.

The safety aspect has no cause of concern. Past life regression is more like watching a movie or looking back in time. You will feel the emotions but not as intensely. You may also feel the shadows and the feelings associated.

As you begin to recall the past life memories, you will be able to distinguish the good ones from the bad ones through the after-results. Good memories usually trigger good feelings while bad memories irritate your feelings causing you to feel bad. When you wake up, you will notice that it feels like you just had a bad dream. This means that you had a bad life in the past. Do not think that recalling unpleasant memories are bad for you; this is actually your key to know your past life.

You also have to realize that you have to undergo this kind of experience for you to be able to start your life positively. The recollection of negative incidences of your past life is only a small portion of the process. Once you are through with this life regression and you have learned to accept and understand the life you have been through in the past, you will be free to move on and make your current life better.

'Karma'says that, what goes around comes around, if we were good people in one life, we will have good Karma and receive good things in future lives. Karma changes and negative events come about if a reversion is made to being a 'bad soul', and we no longer receive good until we have made amends for the past life that the bad occurred in, however long ago that was. Once the punishment has been served, you are once again in good graces and you move from that life into the next to learn the next lesson or receive that Karma.

But there are also some people who are confused with the interpretation. Some people thought that because of the bad past life they are going to suffer bad life as well in the present life. The truth is that people in their new life have their choice of what kind of life they will live now. When you realize that you are bad in the past life but good in the current life, you can proceed with your life the good way as long as you want.
