The Power of Synchronicity: How to Embrace Meaningful Coincidences in Your Life

The Power of Synchronicity: How to Embrace Meaningful Coincidences in Your Life

Have you ever experienced a moment where you randomly bumped into an old friend you were just thinking about? Or received a phone call from someone you were just thinking of calling? These types of events are often called coincidences or synchronicities, and they can have a profound impact on our lives.

Synchronicity is a concept that was first introduced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. He defined it as a meaningful coincidence that occurs without any apparent cause. Essentially, it's when two or more events happen in a way that seems to defy the laws of probability and suggests a deeper connection.

What Do Dreams Mean and the Symbols in them?

What Do Dreams Mean and the Symbols in them?

Symbols can be found everywhere in movies, books, and in our dreams. I have been following Jared Chan's video on Carl Jung's nine rules of dream interpretation, which have helped me to understand my unconscious realm better. These rules are not dogmatic, but flexible, and have been helpful clues in understanding the symbols within my dreams.

One of the most crucial rules is to take dreams seriously and as fact. We must not dismiss them as meaningless or try to impose our own interpretations on them. It is also essential to establish the context of the dream by keeping close to the dream images and to take a dream series over a single dream. By tracking your dreams in a journal over a period, you will notice common themes and symbols. Still, it's crucial to remain open to constructing new dream theories and to consider new information and knowledge.
