Of course no one knows for sure if regression does indeed take you back to a past life there are lots of theories to explain what people experience when they are being regressed. Some of which are below.
1) Genetic memory
the theory of genetic memory is that as character traits and even certain illnesses can be passed from one generation to another that so can memories. This could mean that you are actually recalling memories from your ancestors.
2) Metaphor
The metaphor theory is that your are actually just reciting a story from your subconscious to help you make sense of who you are an why you are the way you are. Your sub conscious is a powerful resource that is totally benevolent and is always looking for positive aspects to enable you to live your life productively. Sometimes it does this in a strange way when it links a positive with a negative such as with smokers where it links the harmful act of smoking with the positive gain it perceives as maybe stress relief or relaxation.
3) Collective unconsciousness.
Collective unconscious is a term of analytical psychology, coined by Carl Jung. It is proposed to be a part of the unconscious mind, expressed in humanity and all life forms with nervous systems, and describes how the structure of the psyche autonomously organizes experience. Jung distinguished the collective unconscious from the personal unconscious, in that the personal unconscious is a personal reservoir of experience unique to each individual, while the collective unconscious collects and organizes those personal experiences in a similar way with each member of a particular species In simple terms that we are dipping into this vast pool of memories and experience from all human kind and channelling it out into consciousness.
These are just three of the many alternative theories to explain PLR. But ultimately its up to you,,,,,
