When a Stranger Sang my Song: A Dream About Synchronicity and Soul Alignment
Let's do some dreamwork, shall we? Last night, I dreamed I was listening to a song—an obscure one I’d never heard before—when a total stranger began singing the exact same lyrics at the exact same moment. He couldn’t hear the phone. He just felt compelled. I believe it was a message from the Universe/God/Source. A sign of alignment. A soul song passed through generations.Text Vanessa Your Thoughts!Support the showMusic by Katie Coughran.📩 Substack Newsletter📚 Vanessa’s Books🖥️ Website🎥 YouTube👥 Facebook Group📸 Instagram
