Question on Identical Twins, and souls

I've always had a fascination of identical twins. My grandmother and great aunt were identical, and there were two sets of identical twins in my class in school.

Some years back I met a women, and we'd "clicked" the moment we met. We never had much chance to get together and learn more about each other because she worked, and had a big family, and little time of her own.

Yet when I'd feel down in the dumps, or other emotions, she'd call and say she felt I needed her. I'd pick up on things and later learn she'd experienced what I'd picked up on. We'd even pick up on each others unexpected physical pains, once when she was in another state, and I believe her husband had punched her. I'd suddenly felt a searing pain in my cheekbone, and up and down the whole side of my face. He'd later explained her absence by telling me she'd ran into an open door and blacked her eye and bruised the whole side of her face.

We were so surprised by all of this and wondered if we'd been twins in another life. She died in '99. I think of her often, and yesterday I had this thought -

When identical twins are born, do they have individual souls, or might it be possible for a soul to split as the egg had, and a half would go to each twin.

And if that were the case, when both twins died, would the half souls then reunite and become one again. I think it's an interesting theory.
 
I'm not big on the idea of souls splitting, although others disagree. In my view we are tripartate entities - we have a mind, body and a soul. Our bodies can be formed by splitting cells and coalescing cells, but the soul is made of different stuff. Our 'mind' is our own identity / thoughts / memories / ego .... there are various words for it. Although we may sometimes be aware of the thoughts and feelings of others, it doesn't require our minds to 'split in two' but maybe to be a bit more open or in tune to another's, if that makes sense?


If you spent a life as identical twins, your souls would feel intertwined I guess, which could explain the sharing of emotions or awareness, or 'vibrations' or whatever you might like to call it, because you are in tune with eachother - a bit like two bells with the same tone - if you ring one, the other will vibrate too. Not a very scientific explanation I guess, but my interpretation.

Did the twins at your school play tricks on the teachers? We had several identical twins at my high school. Sometimes they would switch and attend each others classes to see if the teachers would notice the difference. I don't think the teachers noticed, but the other students realized right away what was going on. Identical twins usually have slightly different voices. I have known kids who were identical twins and I never knew which one I was talking to until they spoke.
