Soul Mate- What is the best definition?

[Kookaburra]

5. Interesting experience I had

When my older brother was dying in the hospital, it was the wee hours of the morning, and I was alone with him holding his hand. He had already slipped into a coma, so I wasn't sure if he could hear me or not, but anyway, I suddenly had a vision or possibly a dream of the two of us as sisters, and the roles were changed -- I was the sick one and he (she) was caring for me in a hospital (although this looked more like a mental facility). The feeling I got from the dream was that we were extremely religious, and I couldn't handle the fact that I was psychic, and had let everyone convince me I was insane. This soul was the only one who understood I was not crazy, and devoted her (his) life to caring for me.

Also, in a past life regression I saw myself as a young child, and the soul who is my younger brother in this lifetime was my father in that lifetime. I died quite young (5 or 6) from asthma, and he was inconsolable over it. Here's the thing, though, he was my adoptive father, which makes me believe that we end up together whether we start out that way or not.

My point is, the concept of soul groups with whom we play out these 3D dramas feels right to me. It also explains why we recognize people we've only met for the first time.
