It's always puzzled me.
Am obviously not a believer in reincarnation, but there are actually some interesting (and difficult to explain) accounts of people remembering previous lives, and not the lives of queens or Napoleon and the like. I recall a documentary of a family accepting a stranger (a child) as their reincarnated grandfather, due to the specific memories and information that child was able to recount.
For the most part though, previous incarnations (it would seem) are not meant to be consciously remembered (rather like dreams) which would explain why I have absolutely no recollection of being a hamster.
The only importance of past life experiences are the lessons learnt therein. Not the personalities or the forms that you took. .. . . . . . . . A light switch is either on or off. There is no such thing as being 99.9% turned on. So either you remember your entire lesson or none of it. One life or many,doesn't matter
