The idea for God makes sense that people attributed things they didn't understand to something magical and powerful that was both destructive and protective. Clouds, rain, lightening, etc. Bad things seen as punishment. Good as being saved. It's normal for children to think that way about parents. God is like an imaginary parent to punish bad things and provide comfort when a person is afraid and suffering. People can hallucinate when they are under extreme distress (like war or torture). Parents tell stories to encourage children to behave. It's comfort for dealing with the fear of death and punishment to try and control behavior or even to label something as bad when it isn't actually bad (like sex).
My point of it was maybe we all have a soulmate maybe we were made in pairs when we die our souls/subconscious gets reincarnated/recycled to a different body with no recollection of the past maybe that's where all these ideas comes from and every now and then we get to cross paths with our other half idk it's just a thought I know it's sounds like a fairytale or silly figured I'll throw it out there
I don't think its silly. Thats why I put the link to this movie "Cloud Atlas" in my earlier post. And quite a few people believe this to be true.
So the part you were asking about aliens.... Don't laugh but. When I was a really little kid about 5 years old. I had a dream one night. It wasn't a scarey dream.
The dream was.... the light bulb people (heads that looked like big light bulbs with funny looking eyes)
They took my brother and I to the beach. Then into the ocean. Then into a underwater cave. Even though we were under water, we had no problem with breathing. We were just fine without air to breathe. Laying on a table under the water in the cave. We weren't really in any fear either. I can't remember the rest. Thats all I can remember of the dream. Why did I have this dream? Why do I still remember it 45 years later? I never heard of aliens at that age. But when I hear of some peoples alien encounters I kinda laugh. And then I see their pictures of what their alien looked like. Then I think, that looks alot like the lightbulb people from my dream when I was a kid.
Some people mistake near death experiences, as being dreams; which is why you might be able to still remember it. People of all ages, do die; in their sleep. I believe that you were able, to breathe underwater because you ceased breathing, while sleeping & thus that would've caused your death, if you didn't exit; the dream.
My Mother has a dream frequently, in which she's climbing the stairs; to heaven but turns around & begins walking down them, then awakens.
I've had dreams, in which I am falling but then awaken before, I crash land.3 -
I'm pretty sure Natalie Portman has been my soulmate for the last 20 years.6

I don't believe in "soulmates", in fact I despise that term. I also hate the "you complete me" phrase. UGH...so corny.0

I think soul mates are a real thing, and don't have to be your husband or wife. I've had a few in my life. My first was my best friend...we knew within moments that our friendship would last forever, and it did, until she died two years ago, and took a huge piece of me with her. I've never met another friend like her in my 47 years on this planet.
My second one is my honey. We never got married, but we have been living in sin for 23 crazy years. We feel each other's feelings, read each others minds, without even realizing we're doing it. He's got my back, and I've got his, always. In 23 years, it hasn't always been perfect, there have been a few rough patches. But I wouldn't change a thing, and wouldn't have ever wished it to have been with anyone else.
The last one is my 7 year old granddaughter. Without knowing it was going to happen, her heart and mine bonded in such a way that will stay with us forever. I wake up thinking about her, and go to sleep thinking about her. She's my "little love".
Maybe I'll meet another person who becomes another soul mate, but if I don't, these three people are in my head and heart forever, their souls melded to my soul.4 -

Your welcome!1 -
Awww @JustMissTracy that's sweet
I think we often confuse romantic love with this sort of thing. I suppose my brother is my soulmate since we've always been really close.
I've had two husbands and I'd never describe either as a soulmate.2 -

There is a term for this. Pressure on certain parts of the brain results in the same dream for everyone and I think it's linked to disturbed REM? . There is a very vivid dream where you are paralysed and assaulted by a demon/alien and scientists have replicated it in sleep subjects by stimulating certain areas of the brain.

One person trying to get the other not to leave them because "we belong together" rather than "we can work through this". I think it also gives people who believe it unrealistic expectations of how much work they may have to put into their relationship (i.e., soulmates = easy). Personally, I'd rather be chosen than fated.
BTW I'm also happily married.
Same with me, there's no such thing as ''The One''. If it were true then marriage rates around the world would have been 1% and there wouldn't be such a thing as moving on from a failed relationship & meeting someone new. I had few relationships & loved all my exes & my current guy equally.0 -
Really not a fan of the term: soulmate
There's only been two people in my life where I thought: I could spend the rest of my life with this person.
I'm married to one of them.
The other one... it was just a matter of poor timing.0 -
My outlook on love has changed. I used to believe in soulmates... not anymore.0
