I think my dream posted in the dreams forum called "My Aunt dies in the Revolution" may be a bit precognitive, but then again I may be stretching it to be that way.

But I was looking at it and thinking about it after the fact. Here in the dream you see unprovoked terrorist type attacks. Bombs being laid, and innocent (my aunt as a child) people being killed.

The other thing was before the events that happened on Tuesday, I had been writing a story about a terrorist who was trying to hijack a plane, but in my story there was a magic wielder on the plane (it was a fantasy) who then turned the hijacker's bomb into a inflatable pig. Wierd story I know, but I was writing it.

The next day, I saw a commercial for car insurance where a huge piggy bank was terrorizing the people of New York City. And then the day after that, the events that happened in New York and Washington DC.

I don't know what this is supposed to mean, but, perhaps it says something about being careful what you think about.

Hi,

I think out unconcious thoughts are influenced by other thoughts that are happening elsewhere if they happen to resonate with us. So it's not a case of "be careful what you think about" but more like "Oops, someone out there is thinking dangerous thoughts and I'm hearing them".

Hi Shalie & Lena,

Imagine being a tuning fork, Shalie. Where similar thoughts (conscious or unconscious) overlap, you 'tune in' and experience a shared event or feeling on some level .. be it dream, vision or creative output.

Shalie, your point of resonance, as you have stated, involves a feeling of innocence and attack ... where, in your life, have issues of innocence and attack been felt?

Just a starting point ...

WHAT IS
SYNCHRONICITY?

Jane Teresa's Explanation

Jane Teresa Anderson

WHAT IS SYNCHRONICITY?

________

Synchronicity occurs when you experience a coincidence, or several coincidences, that seem so bizarre that you feel they must be meaningful in some way.

Some people believe that synchronicities are signs to follow, to lead you to where you are 'meant' to be. My understanding, however, is that not all synchronicities are to be followed, because ...

Synchronicities are SYMBOLS of where you're at, not signs to follow.

Synchronicities speak the same symbolic language as dreams.

When you experience a synchronicity, you are witnessing a change within yourself, an insight, a birth of something that has been unconscious bubbling up into consciousness.

At such times of change we see, all around us, symbols that reflect our shift in perception and self-understanding. This is synchronicity.

To understand this fully, and to see why it is not always appropriate to follow synchronicity, you can read my book, THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME. This way you can also discover how to read the synchronicities in your life and how to act on them in positive, life-enhancing ways.

Reality may never feel the same again!

P.S.

In Jungian terms all synchronicities begin with a dream.

The dream comes first, then the symbol from the dream appears in waking life in ways that seem incredibly meaningful - though, classically, it is hard to understand, consciously, what that meaning is.

This is because the dream is painted by your unconscious mind in advance of your conscious mind 'catching up'. When the insight (unconscious shift) is big, synchronicities follow.

What happens is that your incredibly powerful unconscious mind (far more powerful than your conscious mind) manifests its insight physically into your waking life. (You have changed - the world, as you experience it, changes in accordance.)

It usually takes up to a couple of weeks before your conscious mind understands the symbolic dream manifesting in your waking life as synchronicity.

Being human, as we all are, we often forget the original dream but still experience the synchronicities.

There are many excellent reference sources on Jungian synchronicity.

My approach is largely Jungian, but slightly shifted.

Again, if you are seriously in-depth interested, I suggest you read my book "THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME" to understand where I am coming from.

Quite simply, synchronicity is a waking dream and interpreting it as such is immensely enriching.
