r/Jung (paraphrased)
Posts where someone, often mid-crisis or mid-decision, describes an outer event that matched their inner state so precisely it felt like Jung's scarab at the window.
C. G. Jung (retelling)
During an argument with Freud about parapsychology, Jung felt a hot sensation in his diaphragm. A loud crack came from the bookcase. Jung told Freud "there, that is an example of a so-called catalytic exteriorization phenomenon" and predicted a second crack — which, he said, came moments later.
C. G. Jung (retelling)
Jung's patient was describing a dream of a golden scarab when a real beetle — a rose chafer, the closest thing to a scarab in Europe — tapped at the window. Jung handed it to her, and the moment broke her resistance.

C. G. Jung
Jung's 1952 essay, the text that named the idea. He argues that meaning can connect an inner event and an outer one even when no cause links them.
A synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence: two things line up in time and feel connected, even though one did not cause the other. Carl Jung named the idea in 1952.
