Synchronicity And Precognitive Dreams
Synchronicity is a term originally coined by psychologist Carl Jung that refers to deeply meaningful coincidences which mysteriously occur in your life. When you experience synchronicity, you’ll have experiences that seem far too significant to be mere day-to-day serendipitous encounters. Some people describe these as ‘freak encounters', ‘miracles', ‘signs from the heavens', guidance from one’s personal spirit guides, or even mystical instances of Soul connection. Synchronicity can manifest in an endless number of forms. For example, those who experience synchronious events usually report seeing or hearing meaningful names, numbers, words, or symbols.
What exactly is synchronicity? Let’s examine some popular world views:
1. Hindus believe synchronicity is a manifestation of Brahman or the fundamental connection of all living things within the universe
2. Behavioral Economists would classify synchronicity as a form of confirmation bias. For example, if you’re told to look for yellow cars, you’ll start seeing a lot more of them than you initially thought existed
3. Quantum physicists attribute synchronicity to the 'non-local' mind (or universal consciousness)
4. Skeptics call synchronicity Apophenia or the practice of seeing connections and patterns in random and/or meaningless data
5. Everyday spiritual folks believe synchronicity is a sign from their Higher Self or Soul
6. Psychologists (particularly those who follow Jungian theories) believe synchronicity comes from the unconscious mind and collective unconscious
Whatever causes it, synchronicity is far too common and too intriguing an experience to overlook or quickly dismiss and forget about.
Will Sharon has been working with dreams since he was a young therapist at the Veterans Administration in Manhattan. Following 13 years of clinical work Will spent some time studying acting and working on NYC soap operas. He then embarked on a 25 year corporate career in which he was fortunate to hold several 'C' level positions. Throughout his life he has experienced the cultural definition of success and failure and the many ways that each can disconnect us from the essence of who we really are. As a coach, Will developed a process for working with dreams in the context of the fundamental tools of coaching; listening and asking powerful questions. Instead of interpretation, which extracts meaning and then discards the dream, Will helps the client animate and add dimension to the creation of their imagination. In keeping the dream alive he believes that it will inform the client over time.
