coincidence or premonition?

For about five years now, I've had this gut feeling that one of my old friends is actually my soulmate. I've been having these recurring dreams which involve me going out and looking for her and at the moment I"m about to see her I wake up. I think that if I see her and talk to her face to face, after all this time, it'd change everything.


The dreams seem to be a kind of permonition. I didn't have any contact with her for a year or so and I got back in contact with her, but never actually saw her, only talked to her on the phone and thats when I started to have the recurring dreams which at the time didn't make any sense.Then she had some financial troubles and she had to disconnect her cell phone, and thats when the dreams made sense that I 'd try and find her.

I can't actually go and look her, and I haven't heard from her in a couple of months, it's seems like maybe I was wrong on the idea. Then last week I was listening to the radio and heard the song 'I just called to say I love you' and for some reason this got me thinking about her. I came up with this thought that if the very next song wasn't 'Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree' I would conclude that I was wrong on the whole idea of her being my soulmate. I swear, the very next song was 'Tie yellow ribbon'. and I was completely shocked.
Does this mean I'm right? Was this actually a premonition or a coincidence? How does the whole soulmate idea work? Any advice on this topic?




thanks huckman

Hi, huckman. Welcome aboard.

I seem to be on a Dear Abby binge lately.

I appreciate your predicament. But, the lady appears not to share your confidence that she is your soulmate. If that changes, then she knows how to reach you.

Meanwhile, she has arranged her affairs to prevent you from reaching her (Financial difficulties, no more cell phone? Sure... or she changed her number, huckman, and didn't give you the new one.)

You're not going to stop thinking about her, no more than you would stop thinking about a good friend who died. So, maybe you dream about her, or torture the playlist of the oldies station into a message from God. That's the human thing to do.

Good news, bad news: time heals all wounds, but it's in no hurry to get the job done. You could stew like this for years.

Meanwhile, if you're lucky, you and your real soulmate, if you have one, will find each other. Maybe it'll turn out to be her after all. The smart play, however, is to become open to the possibility that it's someone else.

If the continuation of the species were easy, then the human race would have died out long ago. You suffer for the greater good. Suck it up and ride it out.

It does work the way you described, however I would not suggest that you draw any conclusions from it.

As I see it she wishes your support in some way at this time. If you are happy to do that for her then she can more easily deal with those particular issues she is confronted with. Soulmates do that for one another. It is a different kind of love.
