Sleep (yes, just sleep) with someone and your souls touch
Posted: 11/7/2009 12:19:45 AM
When you sleep with someone, it is much better if you know the person and feel close to them as you are vulnerable when you sleep and there is a sense of companionship there. I would say that is the most comforting thing about sleeping with someone you love is the companionship and waking up with them. It just isn't the same sleeping by yourself or with a stranger or as good as. I don't think i have ever heard of anyone being so sensitive that they are even able to sense when a person is having a nightmare or actually dream the same thing as there partner, you are one extraordinary person OP.

Subtle energy in your bodies merge, when you share the same space with another being.

This is why you tend to feel different hugging different people. Their energy is different to what you are used to.

I can sense when a friend is different just from their subtle energy.

So there is more than just a little in that. It is a whole lot true.

our souls "touch". I know that sounds all new-agey and honestly I"m not really new agey. But I don't know how else to put it.

Seems you're more new-agey than you think Kaylie

Subtle energy in your bodies merge, when you share the same space with another being.

And when your soul is more mature... you dont even need to be in their physical presence, let alone sleeping.

Souls are not bound by concepts of time or space.
Therefore... where they are and when... is irrelevant.
Once they recognize one another though... they connect.
These can be soul mates... or more.

But... the strength and energy of that connection depends on the soul itself. How mature it is.

I dont have to be in someone's physical presence to pick up energy about them... they dont even need to be close.

Some may call that ridiculous... some may call it trippy... I dont call it anything... it just is... what it is. *shrugs*

People will believe... what they want to believe... even in the "presence" of proof when they experience it themselves.

Some people just need to open their eyes to see...others may never be capable.
For others again... seeing it... is frightening... so they run and deny it.
It doesnt make sense... so its scary and unreal... best not to believe it. Turn away.
Thats ok... you'll look if and when you're ready.

And once you're there... once you're capable... you may even find your Twin Flame.

Thats a concept I think you may find particularly interesting OP.
Goes far beyond the realm of mere soulmates and touching souls in your sleep.
See... some... by no means all... but some psychologists actually deal with the impact of Twin Flames.
And no... not in a "mental" way.

And when or if... you meet your Twin Flame... you'll know.
A soulmate is nothing... they're just your soul's friend... in comparison...

souls touching, is a wonderful concept, and yeah, when I think of people who've slept in my bed, I think that there have been souls that my soul has been in touch with.

Sometimes, I will rock and toss and turn all night, and that will generally be when Im sleeping with someone who is a FWB, a person that Im not fully connected with.

But put me in bed with the man Im in love with, and I will sleep like a log, all curled up and fitted in around them, head on their shoulder. After splitting with my lover, for a long time I slept wrapped around my pillow, and would wake up stroking where his chest would be, had he been in the bed.

Funny too, how the man Im in love with NEVER snores, Oh he may make those little man purrs... but not snore. Put me in bed with a FWB and yup, they snore....

^^^ Just wanted to further comment to this.

A soul touch would be more inclined to be a situation like this VVV

And one time we actually co-dreamed - we dreamed the same thing at the same time, then woke up.

This is only my personal opinion... but thats a highly unusual occurance.
And *if* it was a soul touch... it doesnt mean that BOTH are touching... one may be just picking up on the other.
The more mature and intuitive of the two.
Remember this is hypothetical cos people will believe what they want to believe...

However...

Comparatively... something like this VVV

Cosleeping with babies has found that the parents breathing rhythms help to keep the baby's breathing rhythm regular.

I dont find to be quite so astounding.
Id conclude that to be nothing more than pheromones... and good reasoning to if not keep your newborn in bed with you... but atleast in the very same room.
Take any newborn baby.. and you'd likely find the same thing.

Thats possibly why some people bond with others and think its love when its simply pheromones and proximity... whilst others need or know (subconsciously or otherwise)... that soul connection... to fall inlove.

Consider these two examples.
1. Women's menstrual cycles synchronizing.
Its not that they've touched souls... its the pheromones they're exuding that trigger the olfactory nervous system by proximity
Part those women... and they will no longer cycle the same.

2. Hearing the phone ring... and knowing who it is before you answer... even though there is no pattern you're subconsciously distinguishing. Say you know its someone you'd never expect.
Or this... phoning a friend because you know that they need you... even though realistically you have no idea.

See... proximity is no bearing on the connection...
...because you've not "realistically" got a pheromone connection with someone 1000 miles away.
Its intuitive.

One is logically explained IMO. One is not.

So back to this VVV

Subtle energy in your bodies merge, when you share the same space with another being.

Could be explained either way.
Subconsciously picking up on minute changes in pheromones due to stress for example... and body language.
Empathic and mirroring.

But its not so easy to be or easily explained to be empathic... when you're not in the presence of ... or the life of an individual

You just... know

how do we sense when we are next to someone or something while we sleep...


you should google topics like sleep, dreams, stages of sleep and what happens to the brain and body within the different stages..theres too much learned knowledge in what you're asking to try and cover it here...without a consultation fee from a therapist....

I hear you OP and I agree. There is something special in the disarmed state of sleep that is comforting, if you feel guarded, no matter how good the sex was in some situations, it won’t work, there is something that is not right. I almost wish you could sleep with people before you entered into anything else as a gauge for what my subconscious finds comforting and not what my ego does. The sharing in quiet unpretentious silence is sometimes loudest connection.

Agree that the intimacy of sleeping and spooning and hugging in the night is just about one of the most intimate and special experiences ever. Pets in bed? My dog has always slept on the floor beside me, it would never occur to her to climb in my bed. Had a relationship with a guy with 2 dogs who were constantly in his bed, one of them not happy unless between us usually and I found it annoying, even if I adored that little dog...that was my spot.

Good point on the pheremones... more than 1 force at work I suppose.

It's amazing just how little we don't know or understand about ourselves.

And there are many cultures where kids sleep together in one bed. Or sleep with their parents.

It's interesting to me that my kids love sharing a room, and love sleeping together. They've slept together the past 3 nights and have slept great. Of course they woke up bickering.... but still.

Last night my big dog Belle slept beside me, with her head by mine and feet by my feet. LOL Taking up the "man's" spot. Rosie moved around thruought the night, first by my feet (she likes to sleep w/her head on my feet) and eventuallythis morning by my back or chest.

Also I remember when my marriage was fallign apart and I was begging my ex to sleep in our bed rather than on the couch. The couch wasn't to get away from me. He found it comfy and it meant he didn't have to bother w/the stairs. Still...it was a sign of how little he was willing to do to work on "us", esp when he knew I felt it was important for our bonding. And now he's alone 24/7 except when he visits the kids...so there you go, he doesn't have to put up with me wanting to sleep w/him anymore. LOL (and I cant' stand him now...I can't even stand to be in the same room with him awake)

You shouldn't wake someone from a nightmare is my understanding...

I haven't slept well with most guys, I preferred my own bed to myself. I have known sleep to be disturbed by snoring. I have known men to give off heat and start sweating if you slept next to them.

Snuggling is one thing, sleep, nah don't see any bonding with sleep.

It's great when you are "tangled" up and you knock off that way. Not so great when that person snores and has you in a death lock that is so tight you might as well pee in the bed.

I have to believe...

12 years ago I had twins (fraternal twins) one past 4 days before, one little miracle was born at 1 lb 11oz...
At the age of 4.5 through signing he was talk (signing) away in he room...when I asked who he was talking to he said his brother. I mentioned his brother is in school.
He says "Not that brother the one I slept with when I was a baby"...he never was told he was a twin.

I once wrote in one of the forums "What you miss most about being in a relationship"

Sleeping beside someone...The Spirtual Bond
I always knew I felt it...thanks op...great thoughts from this thread.

Touching story, and extremely believable.

Bout them fermoans, the only ones I been able to pick up on is, once, I took in a stray cat that also slept with me, and before I had her spayed, why, them fermoans was running ever which way but loose.

It wasn't pretty.

Krebby,


Must have something to do with all of us being connected to some type of universal reality or something to that effect.


I believe you are correct, although many will disagree with you vehemently. It is my personal belief that when we sleep, we reconnect to that universal consciousness because it is only when our ego is quiet that our "individuality" is also silenced. Some people are able to connect to that while conscious (but usually deep in meditation)...it is something I have tried and succeeded at times but for only moments....it is quite hard to silence one's ego....

Very interesting post, OP. I agree that there is something special about sleping with someone you care about... including a pet.

To Krebby... my cat does the same thing! I can never find the heart to disturb him, either!

I wouldn’t disagree with this at all. Egos get in the way of far too much and I find in the quiet of sleep, some real connections take place. When we start naming those connections is where we get in trouble. They're have only been two people in my life life that I have ever slept with soundly, it's something to pat attention to for me.

Yeah, them cats get to thinkin' it's their bed. I had a cat once, Maynard, who took it upon himself to wake me up ever morning by trying to pry my eyes open. Seein' as how I don't declaw any of them, I shore nuff woke up whenever I sensed him gettin' up around my pillow.

When my brother went to visit, he slept on the couch and I warned him about ol Maynard. But to no avail. He came around after that, but so long as Maynard lived, refused to spend the night at the house.

About the universal connection thing, that itsallinthesoul refers to, there's been too many times in this ol man's life when it seemed that someone else trying to warn me about something. Paying heed to that feeling spared me from some major hurt in the military (viet nam era) and later when I was employed for a police department. Call it intuition, gut feeling, or some other thing, I got faith enough to think that it was my grandma, brother, or some other loved one still gazing down now and then.

At another level, from my heritage, listening to elders, it seems that there's more to this world than what can be observed by one's physical sensitivities. I reckon it makes sense that the best time to develop a connection to a universal energy is when we're asleep, and the frontal lobe brain activity, which tends to filter and cloud our perceptions to heck and back, why those are deactivated to an extent when we're asleep. By extension, if it's the "soul" that has more of a presence when we're asleep, because our defensive mechanisms are lowered, then it makes sense that our soul can "connect" to other souls of like experience and character.

Course now, that's only one person's opinion.
