Dear Judy,
Sometimes when you dream of a person you want as a soul mate, it's just wishful thinking - unless you're also using positive affirmations to bring love into your life, like you are. You're doing just the right thing by paying attention to your dreams.
While I'm sure it's possible to dream of a person who will come into your life before he actually does, it's not likely that you'll dream of the exact individual you're seeking.
What your mind is doing is taking your affirmations and CREATING that person for you in your dreams. People in our dreams are often representatives of other people or things. These men you dream about represent men who have all the qualities you are hoping your soul mate will have. The actual person isn't appearing in your dreams; instead, these men represent the kind of guy you're looking for.
As your affirmations become more refined, the man who appears in your dreams naturally changes in appearance and behavior. This is wonderful because when you meet someone in real life, you'll be more apt look for what you really want in that person.
These dreams will make your selection process a lot easier. I'm sure that sometimes the person is NOT perfect in your dream, and that will help you eliminate anyone you meet who doesn't have the kind of personality you are really seeking.
The affirmations you're doing are also great because you're building your own self-esteem in the process, and becoming a more complete person in your own harmony. You're learning a lot about yourself from the dreams you're having about these men too.
Your reactions to the men in your dreams are very important, as they teach you what to do in order to create the love you want in your waking life. You're learning how to have a relationship before it even happens through meditation and dreaming. I think that's super!
Doing affirmations to attract love is powerful because it helps you to refine what you want from a person in real life. This will reduce the number of mullets that you agree to date because you'll be clear on what it is you're looking for in a person.
Finding a partner can be so difficult, but if more people did what you're doing now, fewer mistakes would be made in relationships. Keep going - that person you've been seeking will show up very soon!

Dear Judy,
Many people do have dreams about their soul mates, but they will tell you that these dreams normally reveal glimpses of the character of the person they are destined to meet as opposed to the actual person.
As we search for the person who will fulfill our dreams for love, it's natural to be curious and even anxious about how and when they will appear. The fact that you are dreaming about many different romantic partners simply indicates that you are still formulating in your mind and heart how you will recognize this person once he comes along.
Of course, you could also be dreaming about loves from past lives. If so, that could explain why there are a number of them, and why they appear to be men you neither know nor recognize in your current life.
We often recall our past lives through our dreams, and these dreams may be triggered by simple experiences or encounters we have while awake. You may want to do some past-life research with a psychic who has the ability to help you identify these romantic partners you are dreaming about.
It's possible that once you encounter your true soul mate, you may recall having had a specific dream about him, but until that time comes, you'll only be able to speculate on whether or not that is what's happening now.
One ritual that might help you to gain a clearer, more conscious picture of your soul mate in your head is to make a Soul Mate wish list or poster. On this list, start writing down all the attributes you'd like your partner to have. Divide it into three headings: physical, spiritual, and emotional, and make it an ongoing project so you can add new ideas and attributes to it as they occur to you.
If you decide to create a poster, you can cut pictures and words from magazines, or draw your own images to illustrate the type of personality you feel drawn to. Meditating on this list or poster will provide a clearer picture of your future partner, which in turn may infiltrate your dreams and provide you with new direction as you continue your search for your soul mate.
As you travel your life journey, you may have more dreams of different partners. When you encounter your true soul mate, those images and ideas will merge into one, and there will be no doubt in your mind that you have finally crossed paths with the one you're looking for. |
