Usually only those who are about 4 years of age and under really remember their past lives in any significant detail. Afterward this life generally tends to take over in this life.
It's likely you just had a dream, based on your thoughts before sleep. Hope you had a good nap either way.

Strange dream. Had you been thinking about Natalie Wood? Have you seen a Natalie Wood movie recently?

Scripture teaches that "it is appointed that men die once, and after this comes judgment" (Heb. 9:27). There is no biblical evidence for reincarnation.
Sometimes people try to find biblical warrant for reincarnation in Christ's words about John the Baptist. In Matthew 17:12 Christ says, "I tell you Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him." Matthew adds, "Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist" (Matt. 17:13).
Is Jesus saying that John was the reincarnation of Elijah? No. Here's the simple reason. According to 2 Kings 2:9-18, Elijah was taken up bodily into heaven without seeing death. Thus, he wasn't a candidate for reincarnation because he was still in his original incarnation.
In Matthew 17:1-8 Moses and Elijah appear to Christ and some of his disciples at the Transfiguration. This occurs after John the Baptist has been executed by Herod Antipas. Why is it, then, that Moses and Elijah appear to Christ and his disciples, and not Moses and John the Baptist?
If Christ doesn't mean John the Baptist is the reincarnation of Elijah, what does he mean? Jesus is speaking figuratively in Matthew17:12. He's comparing the prophetic ministry of John in the New Testament to that of Elijah in the Old. Similarly, Luke 1:17 says John "will go before him [the Lord] in the spirit and power of Elijah."
So there's no biblical basis for reincarnation. A person who is considering reincarnation is faced with a choice of believing other alleged sources of religious truth or believing the biblical witness. To accept the former in this instance is to reject the latter.

if you think hard about things before sleeping, you often dream about them.
last night, for example, i was thinking about math for a while and then later about golfing, and i actually dreamt about writing equations for how the putt was going to break on the green. (i know that's really dumb)

Natalie's real name was Natalia. Do some research on past life regression and see if its for you.

Resurrection, not reincarnation. We dont' come back as a lama, we remain human and go to HEAVEN, in HEAVEN we get a new body.
LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.
