I have been told that I am meeting with someone I love dearly on the astral plane. We had a brief relationship but have not seen each other for almost a year. Our connection was intense but unfortunately there was too much baggage and the relationship ended. When I would close my eyes, I would see him in the very far distance, but on other days, he was very close. This went on for months. It was as if I knew he was having struggles of his own and I was feeling all of his pain. Recently upon closing my eyes, I began seeing myself happy and peaceful. I would have white lines painted on my face, then his face appeared with the same. Previously he had different colored lines painted on his face. I often lie down and listen to relaxation music, during which I have visions. I am in beautiful peaceful surroundings with this man. He holds me from behind; we are always both wearing white and the feelings are amazing. Fireflies, butterflies and bubbles are very prominent. I questioned a psychic and she said we were meeting in the astral. Is that possible? If so, might it be that he is having the same wonderful visions? I would love to ask him but I don’t want him to think I’m crazy.

When two people share a powerful connection, no matter how brief, their spirits bond for eternity. Whether we are conscious of these ties or not, our souls will continue to transcend time and space in order to maintain the relationship in another dimension. Your visions are evidence of this other-world relationship.
We tend to think of ourselves and our lives as one-dimensional simply because for the most part, we can’t see what is happening on the astral plane. While we get hints of this activity through meditation, visions and out-of-body experiences, in truth, these experiences are happening all the time.
The powerful connection you experienced could indicate that you are twin flames: two souls that have shared many lifetimes together and will continue to travel as one on the astral plane. The fireflies, butterflies and bubbles in your visions are symbols of your light, free spirits and the magic that surrounds this relationship.
It is possible that your love is having similar visions and experiences, but his memory of them will depend upon how advanced he is spiritually. Because of the manner in which this relationship ended, I would not question him about it unless the two of you are reunited. Your challenge lies in doing nothing and trusting that Spirit will bring the two of you together in the future if it is meant to be. In the meantime, you should fully embrace and experience the wonder of this connection through your visions.
I recall a similar experience in which, after four or five astral visits from a certain man I was interested in, I questioned him about it. He denied knowing anything about it, after which I realized that asking him neither confirmed nor negated what I was experiencing, for I knew from the start that it was very real and very profound for both of us.
From the clothing you wear to the lines you saw painted on your face, the color white appears to be a theme in your visions. White is the color of spirituality and purity, which suggests that your connection is on a deep soul level. You mention that at some point, the lines on his face were different colors before turning white; this may indicate that he is advancing spiritually through his life, and could be eliminating some of the baggage you mention that kept the relationship from growing.
Whether or not you and this man are reunited on a physical level remains to be seen, but there is no denying that metaphysically, the two of you remain as close as ever in heart, mind and spirit.

When a relationship is brief and intense with lots of baggage, it usually means the people involved are pushing each other’s buttons. Such a relationship can be a source of perpetual pain or an opportunity for healing and renewal. For the latter to take place, at least one person must change their behavior and thus invite the other person to rise to the occasion.
Your descriptions provide us with some clues about YOUR baggage. That your ex is either very close or very far away points to a parental figure being inconsistent with their love and availability. You said you knew he was struggling and could feel his pain. While you may have been sensitive to his turmoil as well as to your parent’s when you were a child, for the most part, you’ve been feeling your OWN pain.
Counseling could help you become more aware of your emotional baggage, which would free you to interact with your ex in the present instead of reacting to your triggered past. It could also teach you to detach rather than escalate when you accidentally trigger your ex’s old business. As long as his reactions fall short of abuse, your compassion at such times will help you grow closer.
I suspect you coped with stress during childhood by using denial and fantasy. I don’t think you’ve been meeting with your ex in the astral; I think your powerful imagination has conjured up a comforting Land of Bliss, free from pain and problems, where the two of you can love each other with ease. The white face paint and garments symbolize your whitewashing of the situation.
Your peaceful meeting place is likely the opposite of the Land of Trauma & Drama that the two of you visited during your intense relationship. If you’re going to work as a couple, you’ll have to move to the Land of Reality, where blessings are created and enjoyed, and where challenges are faced and addressed.
I think your curiosity about whether he’s been sharing your euphoric experiences is a diversion from your genuine feelings and the real issue at hand: You miss this man and you’d like to try again. Indirectness may have contributed to the demise of this relationship, so I recommend you try a fresh approach.
You don’t need an excuse to reach out. You might write or say something like: I’ve been thinking about you and hope all is well. I would love to reconnect and do better this time.
If and when he’s open to that, begin by building a solid foundation of friendship based on warmth, caring, sincere interest and respect.
