Given the premise as I believe that dimension jumping is caused by the shifting of consciousness from one version of oneself and another to better fit with your needs (and to a lesser extent desires) at any given period of time reincarnation seems to me a more logical form of postmortem survival than an after life.
Since in any form of time or dimensional travel a vessel or receptacle ie. a body with a preexisting set of instincts and memory capacity is necessary, the idea of non corporeal existence seems an anathema.
Therefore at the moment of mortal death, the idea of one's consciousness jumping to a dimension where there is a free receptacle, seems far more possible.
This new body if an infant will have course have a more limited brain capacity as the body has not yet achieved optimum potential, therefore a percentage of knowledge is necessarily lost, traumatic events, bad experiences, but conversely skills and passions, important memories carry across and either surface naturally or can be explored using therapy and hypnosis.
There are of course other instance of people suddenly finding themselves in an unfamiliar adult body of a totally different person, with only limited access to the host bodies memories, but carrying the vast majority of their own previous life experience with them.
In such cases, I can only assume either the new host has dimension jumped accidently (under trauma or fear of death, and an alternate version has not moved in to fill the vacuum either because there is not one or for some other unknown reason) or has disembodied and perished. In such a case it is possible that an extradimensional dying person with no other like host to jump to has filled the gap for the sake of post mortem survival. It is of course also possible that the two version of one person have diverged so far in their separate lives that they are unrecognisable to one another.
Thoughts?
