How to Build a Personal Record Inspired by Real Apps

The idea of past lives appears in many spiritual and self-discovery apps, but most of them rely on personal reflection and symbolic interpretation, not historical proof. If you want to build a serious past lives file, the best approach is to create a structured personal record, similar to what journaling and regression apps use.

Instead of inventing stories, this file works as a long-term record of patterns, impressions, and experiences that you can review and refine over time.

This model is inspired by real tools such as journaling apps, hypnosis regression apps, and structured personal databases.

1. Base Profile

Start with a simple profile. This becomes the foundation of the file.

Name:
Date of birth:
Place of birth:

Early personality traits

List characteristics that have been present since childhood:

• Strong interests
• Cultural affinities
• Unexplained fears
• Sense of familiarity with places
• Recurring dreams

Example:

• Strong interest in history
• Feeling of familiarity with foreign places
• Natural curiosity about travel
• Recurring dreams about cities

This section works like a baseline profile used in many self-discovery apps.

2. Affinity Inventory

Many apps start by identifying natural affinities.

List:

Countries or cultures you feel connected to

Example:

• Italy
• Japan
• Portugal

Historical periods that interest you

Example:

• Middle Ages
• World War II
• Age of exploration

Occupations that feel natural

Example:

• Merchant
• Teacher
• Soldier
• Craftsman

No need to explain. Just record.

3. Dream Log

Dream tracking is commonly used in regression-type apps.

Create a simple log.

Date:
Description:
Emotions:
Recurring elements:

Example:

Date: February 14, 2026
Description: Walking through a narrow stone street.
Emotions: Familiarity.
Elements: Old buildings, historical clothing.

Patterns usually appear over time.

4. Significant Experiences

Record unusual or strong impressions.

Examples include:

• Feeling that you have been somewhere before
• Emotional reactions to certain images
• Strong interest in specific cultures
• Specific fears

Format:

Date:
Situation:
Reaction:

Example:

January 10, 2026
Saw photos of European castles and felt a strong sense of recognition.

5. Past Life Hypotheses

This is the core section of the file.

Each possible past life becomes a small dossier.

Past Life #1

Estimated period:
Example: 1800–1850

Possible location:
Example: Portugal

Possible occupation:

• Sailor
• Merchant

Personal indicators

• Interest in maps
• Interest in travel
• Attraction to maritime history

Associated emotions

• Nostalgia
• Curiosity

Related dreams

Describe any relevant dreams.

Confidence level

Example:

3 out of 10

Past Life #2

Estimated period:
Example: 1900–1940

Possible location:
Example: Europe

Possible occupation

• Teacher
• Worker
• Soldier

Indicators

• Strong interest in war history
• Emotional reaction to historical documentaries

Confidence level

2 out of 10

6. Repeating Patterns

This section is important and is inspired by structured self-analysis apps.

Look for recurring themes.

Repeating themes

Example:

• Travel
• Migration
• Business activities

Repeating traits

Example:

• Leadership
• Organization
• Independence

Possible life lessons

Example:

• Persistence
• Responsibility
• Family

This section helps identify consistency between hypotheses.

7. Discovery Timeline

Create a timeline of when ideas and observations appeared.

Example:

2024
Started recording dreams.

2025
First past life hypotheses.

2026
Identified repeating cultural patterns.

This helps track the evolution of the file.

8. Confidence Scale

This makes the file more grounded and realistic.

Use a simple scale:

0 = Pure curiosity
5 = Several personal indicators
10 = Strong personal conviction

Example:

Past Life #1
Confidence: 3/10

Past Life #2
Confidence: 2/10

9. Ongoing Updates

The file should evolve over time.

Add:

• New dreams
• New impressions
• New hypotheses
• Revisions

The most useful past life files are those updated consistently over the years.

Conclusion

A past lives file works best when treated as a structured personal record rather than a fixed belief system. Real apps follow a similar approach: they help organize experiences and patterns but avoid claiming objective proof.

Over time, this type of file becomes a personal archive of impressions and symbolic connections, allowing you to explore patterns and meanings in a more organized and reflective way.
