From the early Simpson family on the Tracey Ullman show, we get:
What is the mind? Is it matter?
Professor Severus Snape at Hogwarts:
"The mind is not a book to be examined at leisure."
I consider it to be a movie theater or a library of sorts, only this movie is in 3D. It would be full of detail; like every sense recorded in a prefect state, a memory if you will. I suppose every thought could be recorded to.
I would assume trivial information like the fact there are exactly 13 stairs in my Dad's house from the basement to the first floor, is only recorded once. Unless some traumatic event took place, there is no need to store the 13.586 times I went up and down those stairs.
If this is true, it would make the judgment day easier. I mean having all you sins and, of course, all the good things you have done reveled and played back. That would be nice to relive the good times of mortal life.
But where does it store it? I once thought the idea that only 10% of the brain is being used meant that the rest was used for storage. But when you die, your body lays in the ground or what have you, and your spirit lives on with full recollection of mortal and premarital life.
