Synchronicity – What is this PHENOMENON

A fascinating synchronicity story related by Carl Jung described a dream of a student friend that came true. His friend’s father had promised him a trip to Spain if he passed his final examination. His friend was so excited about his upcoming trip that he began to dream about being in Spain. He saw himself walking through a Spanish city in a street that led to a square with a Gothic cathedral. He then turned a corner, into another street where he saw an elegant carriage drawn by two cream-coloured horses. When Jung’s friend woke up, he told a group of companions at dinner about the dream. Shortly afterwards, he successfully passed his examinations, and went to Spain. While he stood on one of the streets, he recognized the city of his dream. He was astonished to find the square, the cathedral, and the carriage with the two cream-coloured horses. Everything he saw in real life exactly corresponded to the dream images.
