Reincarnation is a concept that has been found in almost all the across the world from Japan to Australia. So, whether it's the Wiccans or the new and the old religions every body believes in past lives and their influence on our present ones.

The person you are today; physically, mentally, socially has been a result of your varied past life experiences. This is why you need to actually delve in all your past lives and gather an understanding of why and how you became this self that you are today. You need to understand the weaknesses and the problems and even acknowledge your strength so as to become a better and more equipped person in this life and the future ones.

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:

* An attraction to a different culture or region but you have no idea why you feel compelled to it, since it has no bearing on your present life. If you love a certain kind of period art, or food, yet can't understand the basis for the attraction, it is possible that there is a link from one of your past lives. Some people may try to learn more about the art to see if a distinct time period and region is related, in order to analyze why they feel it is part of their life, yet there is no basis for it.

* Some cultural or historical incidences and significant events have a great impact on you but you are not aware or you cannot explain why. It could be that you were once a part of the influential events in the past and perhaps you became one of the active individuals of that event.

* Certain physical or psychological issues and problems that you cannot explain or give logical reasons for its existence may be linked to what your past life was.

The fact that you have any of these signs may not mean you have been reincarnated, but if you find patterns of things that are attractions for reasons not related to your present life, you could be remembering incidents that occurred in a past life. Similarities in these interests or things from a certain time period could give a glimpse into past life or lives experience that may have happened.

If you really want to uncover the mysteries of your past life there are different possible ways that you can do. Try the assistance of hypnotism. You can use self-hypnosis or you can ask someone expert in hypnotism to hypnotize you so you can explore your past life. There are more hypnotists that specializes in past life regression. This is a special form of hypnotism which applies deep hypnotic techniques to help people like you to remember and recall the past life.

A technique that doubles as a deep relaxation method is the best way to start learning self hypnosis and then you can work into past life regressions, once you have mastered it.

There is nothing to worry about from the safety aspect point of view. In a past life regression you experience the shadows and the feelings of a past life as if you are living that life for that moment.

Depending on whether they were good feelings or bad feelings, you will wake up the same as from a dream or nightmare, whichever the case may be. Be mindful that unpleasant memories are just a part of the regression experience, as much so as the pleasant ones are.

You can move on, once you have brought these thoughts from the subconscious suppression of the memories that could be causing you problems in your present life. By learning the lesson from what happened in the past you can start to live in the moment with a positive outlook.

In relation to this, the theory of Karma says that those people who lived their past lives in such a good and kind way and have done acts of kindness in the past, they will surely have good Karma in this present life as long as they remained kind and good. But this Karma may possibly change if you turned yourself into a bad person. Instead of good karma, bad karma will definitely follow you in this present life even if you were kind and good in the past.

This interpretation causes confusion with many people that believe we are not punished in future lives or destined to live that way forever. They think that each new life is to do the things over again, that we may not have done right before. Memories from a previous life are meant to allow you to live in the present, once you have acknowledged them, recognized them and learned from them.
