ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses Jung’s concept of synchronicity, a concept which challenges traditional scientific thinking. In his understanding, beside the triad of the classic physics which explain the events observed in nature (time, space and causality), synchronicity would add a missing dimension. To sustain his assumptions in the concept of synchronicity, Jung searched for support in different areas, such as the experiments of Joseph Banks Rhine. Jung wrote about the events which affected his patients, and which were impossible to explain by the natural laws of causality. As an example, he mentioned the analytical hour with a patient during which a scarab-like insect appeared in the consulting room after the patient had presented a dream with the insect in it. This was the case of Reichstein. The research on her case reveals that it was not the only synchronistic occurrence in her case.
