"Covered by the mode of ignorance in material nature, the living entity is sometimes a male, sometimes a female, sometimes a eunuch, sometimes a human being, sometimes a demigod, sometimes a bird, an animal, and so on.

His acceptance of different types of bodies is brought about by his activities under the influence of the modes of nature." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/29

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.58-59

"The results of whatever a living entity does in this life are enjoyed in the next life." "The expert knowers of the Vedic conclusions say that one enjoys or suffers the results of his past activities.

So how is it possible to enjoy or suffer the reactions of that work in a different body?" https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/58 & https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/59

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.60

"The great sage Nārada continued: The living entity acts in a gross body in this life. This body is forced to act by the subtle body, composed of mind, intelligence and ego.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.61

"The living entity, while dreaming, gives up the actual living body. Through the activities of his mind and intelligence, he acts in another body, either as a god or a dog. After giving up this gross body, the living entity enters either an animal body or a demigod’s body on this planet or on another planet. He thus enjoys the results of the actions of his past life." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/61

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.62

"The living entity labors under the bodily conception of “I am this, I am that. My duty is this, and therefore I shall do it.” These are all mental impressions, and all these activities are temporary; nonetheless, by the grace of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the living entity gets a chance to execute all his mental concoctions. Thus he gets another body." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/62

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.29.64-65

"Sometimes we suddenly experience something that was never experienced in the present body by sight or hearing. Sometimes we see such things suddenly in dreams."

There is no possibility of concocting anything mentally without having perceived it in the previous body." https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/64 & https://vedy.online/en/sb4/29/65
