We are a soulbond system, hosted by Dragon (he/they) and their soulbond spouse Forest (they/fae) and we made this account to answer soulbond related questions!

Hi, Dragon + Forest! Do you know of any signs of a soulbond forming that isn’t direct communication with your soulbond? Could a feeling of spiritual connection to them, feeling of knowing them in a post life, or dreams of them be possible signs of a connection forming, even though you haven’t formally communicated?
All of those things can definitely be signs! For us often if they don’t form from communication they kinda come on their own and sometimes they have come from other lives and past lives, we believe in fate and sometimes we think certain soulbonds are fated to meet you even if you aren’t searching for them and don’t remember or know who they are straight away. Soulbonds can appear in many different forms; visions, dreams, coming from past lives and alternate lives, even just random memories or experiences that summon a soulbond! Some already know you in some forms and don’t require much communication to connect to them, especially if they’re quite powerful and independent and/or have a super strong connection to you
Uhm, Hello! Uhhh, I have a question... how do you interact with a soulbond? I saw something about it somewhere you can write to them and stuff but yeah... I'm not sure.. what to talk to him about to do that? Also, how do you know if someone might be a soulbond?
Our best advice is to remind yourself you’re speaking and interacting with a real person. How would you interact with a person in front of you? Let that be your guide to how you talk to a soulbond. You can talk to soulbonds about anything, but we would recommend for a beginner to try things relating to the soulbond you’re curious about. As for knowing if someone is a soulbond, if they have a strong connection to you, seem to be almost be ‘spiritual’ (is our best way to describe it to beginners) and may come from another world unlike ours, there’s a start :)
So sorry for not responding until now, we’ve been very busy!
ayo! so i'm not 100% what to call them, but someone suggested they may be soulbonds, so i'd like to ask for your opinion on this- they just showed up one day, said they'd been with me for years, and that we basically shared a childhood. would soulbond(s) be an accurate term, or is there a better one out there? thanksies for answerin :>
Our best guess would be a soulbond! Some soulbonds can hang around for a long time before you realise they’re there
I’ve heard some soulbonders communicate with their bonds via astral projection. Is it possible to do this unintentionally? And how do you know when it happens, what does it feel like? I lay down for a nap earlier today but instead I found myself in a weird state where I was still vaguely aware of my physical body but my mind was somewhere else - that’s not how I usually feel when I fall asleep/have dreams, so I figured something different was going on. I decided to look for my soulbond and when I found him he told me I was astral projecting. I don’t remember much else, I almost accidentally disconnected a few times but managed to come back, but overall we just spent some time together.
Astral projection can absolutely happen accidentally! It’s very common especially in sleepy states, your brain enters a different state when you’re sleepy and sometimes it’ll shift between this world and theirs, even if you’re not sleepy sometimes it can still happen especially if your brain is trying to focus on multiple things at once. Astral projection feels different for everyone, but usually it can feel like your energy hanging around somewhere else and sometimes your main body can feel almost empty or lighter and like it’s floating. When we astral project, it’s like our bodies shift and create a new form from the energy of our bodies help build the form that is projected. We find it usually happens intentionally with us, but it does happen accidentally especially when the brain is unwinding
How do you know if your soulbond is a permanent resident, day tripper, or long distance? I’m not sure which one mine is.
The best first step is to ask! Some of them are able to to tell you themselves, but if not, it’s best to wait and see over time
not a question just excited and wanted to tell someone, me and my soulbond are going on holiday together later this year!
That sounds so awesome, we are so happy for you both! We hope you have an awesome time
thank u for answering :D
Not a problem?
is it possible for a soulbond to never go back to their original body and just keeps going to new ones? i have a guy who sometimes refers to himself as a ghost and talks about previous bodies he's been in, and we don't think he goes back to the original one at all he's just here now
Soulbonds can be basically anything, including a person who changes their bodies they control. Some soulbonds are not always comfortable in their original bodies and prefer to do things like shapeshift or body hop so they can look different
I have a partner who is a soulbond and at times we run into issues where communication is hard, usually because I might be working and be busy and forget to reach out at times or we both might not be feeling the best and can't contact each other because of that. Do you have any advice on this, and how to make communication better in general?
Try to allow some days or hours where you both can interact, maybe find some little activities to do together! We completely understand, sometimes life gets in the way of connecting with your soulbond, but if you’re able to, maybe organise some time to yourselves! We usually spend time together when we’re home and don’t have many people around, even at night time we do a lot together
is it possible to gain a soulbond without either of you having known that term for it or that this is what they are?
I had soulbonds at 12 or younger so it is definitely possible! I didn’t even know what the term was until a few years ago, I coined my own term before then until someone told us about the term
Hello! I have some questions if that’s OK.
Do you have to be plural/a system to experience soulbonding?
How do you know if you have a soulbond?
Thank you for doing this!
Most people class soulbonding as a form of systems and plurality, but not everyone. You don’t have to already be a system to have a soulbond, but it does happen to a lot of people that soulbonds are part of their already existing system.
To know how you have a soulbond, it can be different for everyone, but usually soulbonds have a separate body and world they go to outside of the mind, and they interact with this world in a similar way to a spirit, but are stronger in their own worlds. Soulbonds can be an intentional thing, such as when you astral project to connect to their worlds and see them, but some actually come to you and it’s not always easy to tell straight away whether they’re a soulbond or not. Our best suggestion is to ask them if they know whether they are or not, or if not try to read their aura a bit if possible. They’re very similar to some types of alters, however soulbonds don’t usually front or cause dissociative amnesia, and rather than using your body most of the time, they have their own. Some soulbonds do use the host body to talk, but most of the time that is with the help of the host themselves instead of the soulbond being in control. That’s how it is with us at least
