I had to parse out a great deal of media influences when I looked into my past lives. It's actually very good to analyze the media you have seen (movies, TV, internet, novels, etc.) in order to understand where it may be infiltrating your imagination. There is a great deal of "sifting for gold" in discursive meditation. Discursive meditation is often plodding, methodical, seemingly redundant work. Success, just like in musicianship, comes only from relentless practice.
I think of my past lives as different people because though we all have a common thread, they truly are not me as Kimberly Steele. There are lots of habits from those lives (serial murder, for instance) that I don't choose to do anymore, so I try to make the distinction as clear as possible not just for others, but to remind myself I can grow from experience.
I get flashes from my future lives fairly frequently. For whatever reason, they come as readily as flashes from my past lives.
