first of all i have dreams of seeing other peoples deaths! but that might be just a information download.
secondly, I have had at least one dream where I looked in the mirror and saw someone elses face and had to tell some coworkers that it was me, and not another. a homeless person.
to me transmigration is different than reincarnation
as for looking into joseph smiths personal writings, it is different than Mormon Doctrine.

He was a very strange man and devious as all hell.
Read up on the Mountain Meadows Massacre it is a bit of Mormon history that they try to supress.http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/mountainmeadows/leeaccount.html

I am not familiar with any writings about this topic. The fact that it is not in the D&C is the most relevant point. Joseph considered a lot of things that he could have mentioned in passing. We all engage in idle speculation about topics like Heavenly Mother. Since not even the prophets have been given much information on this, there is no complete doctrine. Any revealed doctrine was usually phrased as being spoken by the Lord.

The only thing I've heard about this was on my mission. I was talking with another missionary and he mentioned that Joseph Smith had been heard wondering out loud "I wonder what I did in my previous lives." The missionary pointed out that Joseph said lives. I don't know the source of that quote or anything, so I've never really accepted it.

I believe Joseph Smith was a prophet, but that doesn't mean I have to believe everything he thought or said was inspired or that his choice of breakfast or shirt color was divine.
If you're talking about reincarnation in the eastern sense, what Mormons believe is quite different.

Actually, he's dead on with his translations ---- the Hebrew word used in the OT that is translated to "soul" is just another word for a living creature.
There no eternal everliving afterlife vessel associated with it.
The current Judeo/Christian concept of a soul has more in common with Greek culture.

Could you reference this -- which collected work where.
As I understand "transmigrations of the soul" it means reincarnation.
We believe in a literal Resurrection where we will all be resurrected and restored to our bodies (and will then live forever and never die again).
But reincarnation where one is literally born again and again in different forms and bodies -- we believe to be false.
No offense to those who believe it is true.

“I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. . . . When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” ( Joseph Smith—History 1:16–17).
