As a child, Anya repeatedly dreamed the same story. She was a young girl living in a wooden house, always accompanied by two women, neither of whom was her mother. She would fall asleep here and wake up there, then fall asleep there and wake up here. One day, she did not wake up there again.

Remembers four lives. In one, she was the wife of a priest in 17th–18th-century France and lost a child during pregnancy. In another, she was a doctor treating children during an epidemic, most of whom died. In this life, she lived with a strong fear of losing a child; she now has four children.

Remembers five lives, in most of which she was a man: a warrior, a gardener, a sailor. Her most vivid memory comes from the last of these lives: Tatiana still feels the grief of losing her beloved wife.

Remembers three lives in detail. In each of them, she worked with her hands: drawing, playing the piano, working with clay. In this life, she makes dolls.

Remembers six lives: as a boy who became a chief, a healer, an archaeologist, a woman executed by the Inquisition, an enslaved woman, and a surgeon. She connects the last of these lives with her present-day fear of making mistakes.

Remembers fourteen incarnations. In her accounts, the same relationships continue from one life to another: eras, circumstances, and roles change, while the connection between people remains.

Remembers twelve incarnations. She describes lives in which she was a witch and died in fire more than once. She also recalls the past lives of other people and instances in which they appeared to recognize one another.

Remembers more than twenty lives. She says that she can see the stories of other people, even those she has never encountered before. Among her own memories is a life as a Spanish nun who lost her child and died by suicide.

She says that memories of other lives began coming to her spontaneously at the age of seven. They include lives in Egypt, Germany, England in the 1920s, and Tsarskoye Selo. In one, she remembers being a young girl who lost her hearing and sight but continued to play the violin.

Remembers living among women in a great tree and being able to control fire, wind, and water.

He describes worlds in which space, time, and lifespan function differently: in some, a life could last for hundreds of years; in others, no more than two.
