AIBU to feel unsettled by DH telling me about his soulmate dream?

Feeling a bit odd.

Came home this evening and getting dinner ready in the kitchen and Dh came into the kitchen with a weird look on his face and said he had a really weird dream last night. He started to say it, then kept looking hesitant and stopped saying it, so I said ‘Go on, what was it?’ (thinking please just get on with it, whilst putting food in the oven and rushing around.
He said that he dreamt that someone or something was saying they’d found him his soulmate and the person he’s connected to and that then this man a woman (I think) then started hitting him really hard with shoes and all sorts with really nasty faces
It was just a really odd thing to come and tell me…literally straight away, not after other conversations and then ‘Oh god yeah I had this awful dream last night’ and also talking about a soul mate? What am I, chopped liver?!
I said (a bit angrily) why was he dreaming about a soul mate and he stormed off saying it was a dream

Is this weird? Feels very weird!

Why come to tell me straight away

Because he was unsettled by it?
What is it you’re worried about? That he’s going to go off searching for his soulmate?

He's sat on that all day as well

Were you huffing and puffing whilst making the dinner? Maybe he was just on the wind up

Well i would be put out by this because I believe that there is always a reason for our dreams. That they are triggered by something that has happened or something that we are thinking about when we are awake.

Yes…It doesn’t sit right with me, why is he dreaming that and why telling me?!

Just sounds like a weird random dream (as they are so often). Soul mates is a nonsense concept, I think you both just need to drop this tbh. It was a stupid dream and probably didn't need to be shared with anyone.

Total over reaction on Your part

Do you think? He kept going on and on about this soulmate they’d found for him, just felt very strange

Sole mate maybe? Hence the shoes?

I think it was obviously a very frightening dream as seemed to really worry him, feeling strange right now though
