Is it possible for someone from a soul group to reincarnate before the others in the group? I was told that a certain someone is my twin flame, but in this life, he is 24 years younger than me. Please help!

Twin Souls, Twin Flames, Soul Mates, and other people from our Karmic Families come and go throughout all our incarnations. Sometimes our others come late; this could be what's happened to you.
Personally, I think this person might be an Angelic Spirit and not a member of your Karmic Family at all. He may not be someone you're destined to have a romantic relationship with, but at the very least, he's someone the Universe has sent to you for some lesson you're supposed to learn this time around.
While this may be difficult to understand, you can figure out what's going on here if you consider the way he behaves in his own life. When you consider his own personal life, does it seem that he is often late
in some way? Did he have a hard time or did it take him forever to get through school? Is he often late to work, dates or appointments?
If that's the case, then he just might be one of those souls who is lazy about returning to a human incarnation no matter what is ahead of him. Is he a reluctant sort of individual in general? That could explain the lateness of his arrival this time around!
Have you considered that he might be an Angelic Spirit? My husband is younger than I am, and he is an Angel - that's why age never came up with us. Once in a while, the Universe will push an Angel off on us so that we straighten up and fly right. If this person came into your life to save you at a time when you were really unhappy, that could be why he's so much younger.
To discover if he is indeed an Angel, ask yourself where you were in your life when he was born. Were you in a big mess 24 years ago? Maybe this angel looked down from Heaven and said, I better get down there, this woman is going to need me!
Was there something or someone in your life who had to be ousted by someone who could take over? If you go over the past 24 years, a pattern will start to emerge, and you might be able to tell from that why he's here.
If he is indeed a romantic Twin Flame, that will begin to develop further later this year. He may resist at first, but he'll come around. If you've been together in your Before Times, there is surely some sort of relationship ahead for you in this life.
Be aware that just because someone told you he is your Twin doesn't mean that it's true. Evaluate this idea for yourself before you take the plunge! Besides, regardless of who he was in any past lives you may have shared together, it's who he is to you now that is important.

My understanding of reincarnation is that we travel in groups or generations and usually end up sharing our lives with the same people over and over. However, it is also common to change the quality of our relationships from one life to another, so if we were married to someone in one life, they may come back as our child, parent or sibling.
Because of this, it wouldn't be unusual to discover that your twin flame is your son or grandson, which would account for the 24-year age difference. You may share a different form of relationship each time you incarnate for different lessons or experiences.
The people you reincarnate with can also be friends, teachers or lovers; in other words, they won't always be blood relations to you. This is normally the case with twin flames, though they can also come into your life as a best friend of the same sex. Since we might enter a life in all sorts of different relationships, it's quite possible for your twin flame to be much younger or much older than you.
You will want to build an important relationship with this person even though the connection won't take the form of a romantic partnership. You will have much to share with one another and teach each other. Because you are older, you can guide and direct him as he most likely did for you in a previous incarnation.
Through each life cycle we experience, we have a tendency to repeat circumstances or repay karma. For example, if you were parented by someone in a past life, you may have the opportunity to parent that person in this life, and if you were unkind to someone in a past life, you will get the chance to make amends in the future.
You definitely have a soul mate coming your way in the future. Though it won't be your twin flame, it will be the ideal person for you to share your life with. It can be captivating to watch the Universe mix and match our lives and the lives of others for the best possible outcome, though it can be hard to appreciate when you're in the midst of it.
If you look around, you may discover many other people you have shared past lives with, especially in your family. If you have lost a loved one in this lifetime, pay attention to the characteristics new babies in your family may share with the person who passed over.
Studying our past lives can be fascinating and illuminating. You may want to obtain a psychic reading to learn more about your twin flame as well as the other people in your life you've known and loved before.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
