In a proper past life regression, you are absolutely, positively certain that the memory is not an invention.

I also remember back in my college days an authored Psych Professor, who was a Hypnotist, tested us using the eye-roll test and said some people, albeit only a very small percentage of the population, cannot be 'hypnotized' and cannot be regressed or to do so would be very difficult.
I tried this, and although I'm by myself I don't think mine rolled all the way up. I still could see everything, I was just looking at the ceiling. I strained until my eyes hurt a bit, and could still see everything. I'm kinda disappointed! Seems if all the color was gone and only the whites visible, you wouldn't be able to see anything because the pupil would be covered by the eyelid.
I seem to be able to listen to just the right relaxation music with my eyes closed and take all kinds of mental journeys. I've never been hypnotized, but I always thought I'd be an easy one because of that. I'm anxious to hear the reply to this question as well. When you did this eye-roll test, were you able to see anything, or did everything go dark?

I remember Dr Weiss saying something about "the eye-roll test", where one looks up, as far up as they can, and if only the white of their eyes show (no color/iris/pupil) they are easier to hypnotize and can regress, and if not, then they aren't able to regress or to be hypnotized.

Can you comment or clarify this and is the eye-roll test accurate? According to Dr Weiss I think he said that it is an accurate indicator. Thanks - JANA
The eye roll sign (ERS) is a good determiner of the Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP). I don't employ it unless I find a significantly difficult client who fails to be hypnotized. I don't find but a rare percentage that cannot be assisted to the trance state.
This is my opinion keeping in mind that my clients are looking for past life, life between lives or future life experiences. This is a different group of people who may be looking to hypnosis without regression for the resolution of addiction and a myriad of other issues.
The issue here is intent. Intent is paramount.
I apologize if this answer is vague.

Perhaps I could try to accomplish PLR by way of "zoning out" with binaural tracks instead, since they are void of speech. They help me sleep better, perhaps they could be of use for this as well.
The issue you may have is that you will end up asleep, not in trance. It is possible for you to slip into a PLR. I have clients who have inadvertently slipped into a past life memory while in a relaxed state, fully awake!
I am of the opinion that our subconscious must survive death, otherwise we would not be able to recall past life events in subsequent lives where these would emerge from the subconscious level.

How is this? I have had amazing experiences; but how could anyone be sure of such a thing? How could anyone know their own subconscious did not weave the "memory"??

However, I once had a psychic/medium tell me that I had lived back in the days of Jesus.
I had always "felt" this even before it was told to me.
I always visualize scenes when being told a story, and I always did this in Sunday school when I was growing up.
So, how can I know if the flashes I see are really my own memory, or memories I've conjured up from my "church going days"?
You did say we will know without a shadow of a doubt when it is our own memory, so if this past-life continues to pop up, I'll continue and see where it leads.
Inside your subconscious lies the events recorded and purposefully veiled from you. You are being allowed to access these events for the purpose of your spiritual advancement. Not like a ride on a roller coaster which is fleeting.

You make the assumption that your subconscious can create vivid scenarios. I haven't seen any data that sets this into fact but...

The eternal subconscious (soul) does store past life memories. We are talking about two different memory modules, btw. Memory creation is a function of the brain neurons. In PLR, we are working with the subconscious or superconsciousness (LBL), not a brain function.
Your spirit guide is responsible for your past life journey. I trust them and have never related with a guide who did not have all the best intentions for the soul he oversees. He is part of the process of insuring that you are being given past life instruction from stored memories not creations of your mind.

You know what, I had come across this earlier, and tried it. I found myself recalling being a young girl on a mountain plateau pasture - all by myself; like my family had died and I was the only one left to care for the sheep. I fell off the cliff, and the last thing I saw was a group of what I think were Native Americans looking down at me.????
It was kinda cool - I've had one session of hypnosis, but I didn't really feel "hypnotized" - it wasn't for past-life, it was more for discovering what I was concerned/sad about -
