I study such dreams, because I've been doing both often for the last many years. This doesn't mean that past lives aren't a thing, but I'm quite confident that we wouldn't be able to relate in any way to such lives. Your quote above looks to me like you're projecting your current mindset onto the caricatures within such dreams. Of course, then, they wouldn't seem that different because they're an extension of your current self. Our dream lives are truly profound, they do stuff that seems "other" because they come from the unconscious, the real things of past lives would be uncomfortably different. Our current sense-oriented mind has no context for such other-life knowings.

OB, with all due respect, when it comes to this area, you can only speak for yourself and no more.
Likewise, I will ask you with all due courtesy to respect my right to my own incarnated experiences of individuated consciousness.
I will not debate the validity of your experiences regardless of how similar or different they may appear to my own, and nor will I engage in debating the validity my own with you.
Peace & blessings
