Synchronicity? Coincidence?
When I experience such phenomena it’s as though the universe has playfully winked at me.

Golden scarab
CARL JUNG first coined the term synchronicity to describe what he called the “acausal connecting principle” that links mind and matter.
In his book “The Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche” he tells this story . . . “A young woman I was treating had, at a critical moment, a dream in which she was given a golden scarab. While she was telling me this dream I sat with my back to the closed window. Suddenly I heard a noise behind me, like a gentle tapping. I turned round and saw a flying insect knocking against the window-pane from outside. I opened the window and caught the creature in the air as it flew in.
Rose chafer
It was the nearest analogy to the Golden scarab that one finds in our latitudes, a scarabaeid beetle, the common Rose-chafer which contrary to its usual habits had evidently felt an urge to get into a dark room at this particular moment. I must admit that nothing like it ever happened to me before or since, and that the dream of the patient has remained unique in my experience.”
