ABSTRACT
The psychoanalytic process has become, a serendipitous process or journey which arrives, unexpectedly and unpremeditatedly, at a new knowledge, a new possibility. As of the 1970s, the subject of telepathy in the psychoanalytic context largely disappeared. It seems that a major reason was the shift in psychoanalytic thinking towards feeling-transfer and emotional influence between patient and analyst in the analytic process. The chapter explores the enigma of patients’ telepathic dreams, especially from the analytic experiences with them, in which the telepathic dreams embody an enigmatic “impossible” extreme of patient–analyst deep interconnectedness or analytic oneness, and unconscious communication in the analytic process. It explains the telepathic phenomena based on Carl Jung’s idea of “synchronicity,” which arises from his notions of archetypes, the collective unconscious and unus mundus or “unitary world.” Synchronicity means “an acausal connecting principle of meaningful coincidence”.
