Though mostly intuitive, these changes are certainly noticeable.

25 Signs Of Twin Flame
If you have a twin flame and you meet them, you are most likely to experience some or most of these signs indicating that you have found the other half of your soul.
1. They seem familiar

Once you have met your twin flame, you might bump into them a little too often. You might even start seeing them everywhere. Don’t worry as they are not following you. It is an indication of reunion with your twin flame.
3. They come in your dreams
Signaling that is your twin flame—you might have dreamt of meeting them even before you meet them. You could sense that soon you will be meeting someone who will change your life.However, beware that simply appearing in your dream does not mean the person is your twin flame. Something similar happened with a blogger who writes under the name Intuitive Joy. Sharing her fake twin flame experience, she says, “I had visions of him, dreams where he’d show up and speak to me, and my empathic abilities got stronger after meeting him. A tarot reader even told me we had the same energetic blueprint. More than all that, nothing made sense without him. Something deep within me said that we were meant for each other, that I was supposed to be with him. This was very, very unlike me.”
Eventually, things didn’t work out for them, and she says, “I came to understand that what I’d experienced was likely karma dissolving, being resolved. Karmic attachment — which just means you share history with another soul (past lives and experiences), there’s nothing inherently toxic about it — is sticky (i).”

One glance at you, and your twin flame will understand what is on your mind. For instance, you are in a sticky situation and unable to express, but they will understand and come to your rescue.

This post may have answered your query about what is a twin flame. Finding your twin flame might feel like finding a needle in the haystack, but everything seems to make more sense once you do so. They will bring out the best in you and fight for you until the end. However, even after finding each other, it does not assure that you will not have your share of ups and downs in your relationship. A twin flame relationship can be dynamic as they will not necessarily be all rosy. In a separate blog post, Intuitive Joy says, “I find that even though we often want to box these connections into one type of dynamic — a romantic partner, let’s say — that twins defy categorization. They bring out your inner child but also demand the most discipline from you. They make you angrier than anyone, but they’re the safest place to land (ii).” Therefore, ensure that you resolve your issues and give each other enough time and space to grow in order to keep your relationship on track.
