I've had a few people write to me about their experiences with their twin when sometimes it seems the connection is fully there, then when other times the connection seems to be non existent.
My dear mentor and friend, Maurie D Pressman, described these relationships best when he said "these are relationships of the soul". A soul relationship takes place in that vehicle. It's not in the conscious mind all the time because the conscious mind may be busy doing other things.
When you dream you often will either remember your dreams vividly, or you won't remember them at all. Sometimes you're just not in alignment with your higher self to bring that information back into the conscious state.
Dreams are sometimes mirrors of the soul. They are the symbols, pictures and feelings of what's going on in our lives on a subconscious level. They are the vehicle in which our soul can best communicate with us.
Twins, because they are relationships of the soul, operate in a similar fashion. Sometimes our twin seems readily available to us. We consciously are aware of their presence and don't doubt the connection. When the connection isn't there, we doubt the experience and go back to wondering if it was ever real to begin with.
Deepak Chopra, a great author and spiritual teacher, once said our true reality lies behind a veil of disbelief. Here is a quote from his book "The Book of Secrets":
"THE LIFE YOU KNOW is a thin layer of events covering a deeper reality. In the deeper reality, you are part of every event that is happening now, has ever happened, or ever will happen.

"THE LIFE YOU KNOW is a thin layer of events covering a deeper reality. In the deeper reality, you are part of every event that is happening now, has ever happened, or ever will happen.
In the deeper reality, you know absolutely who you are and what your purpose is. There is no confusion or conflict with any other person on earth. Your purpose in life is to help creation to expand and grow. When you look at yourself, you see only love.
The mystery of life isn’t any of these things, however. It’s how to bring them to the surface. If someone asked me how to prove that there really is a mystery of life, the simplest proof would be just this enormous separation between deep reality and everyday existence.
Ever since you and I were born, we’ve had a constant stream of clues hinting at another world inside ourselves. Haven’t you ever fallen into a moment of wonder? Such moments may come in the presence of beautiful music, or at the sight of natural beauty that sends a shiver up your spine. Or you may have looked out of the corner of your eye at something familiar—morning sunlight, a tree swaying in the wind, the face of someone you love as he or she sleeps—knowing in that moment that life was more than it appears to be.
Countless clues have come your way, only to be overlooked because they didn’t form a clear message. I have met an astonishing number of people whose spiritual beginnings were nothing short of amazing: As children, they may have seen a grandmother’s soul leave at the moment of her death, witnessed beings of light surrounding on a birthday, traveled beyond their physical bodies, or come home from school to see a beloved family member standing in the hallway, even though the person had just died in a terrible auto accident. (One man told me he was a “bubble boy” for the first ten years of his life, journeying in his bubble high over the city and away to unknown lands.)
Millions of people—this is no exaggeration but testimony from public polls—have seen themselves bathed in a pearlescent white light at times. Or they heard a voice they knew came from God. Or they had invisible guardians in childhood, secret friends who protected them while they slept. Eventually, it became clear to me that more people have had such experiences—truly secret voyages into a reality separated from this one by a flimsy veil of disbelief—than not. Parting the veil means changing your own perception. This is a personal, totally subjective, yet very real shift."
The veil of disbelief he speaks of is the conditioned thinking and beliefs we all have. It may be your current understanding of how the world "is". What you currently believe to be "truth". However, when you begin to experience another state of reality, you now question the old. This is the shift in perception and the shift into our deeper and more unified state of reality.
