I used to keep a dream diary Liz, and one day when I was looking back through my old dreams, I came across this, from October 1998:
"I am in with a crowd of people in some kind of tall building in what I think is New York. It's one of two similar buildings. We are looking out the window when I see a kind of sliver wave moving across the city, like the ripple left behind by a dorsal fin. When it hits the building, it's like being stabbed with a knife. The building starts to wave from side to side like it's about to fall. I wake up with the words: 'we all must experience terror'". That freaked me out. That's the most powerful example, but I've become convinced of this synchronicity between dreams and the outer world. Although I'm agnostic on the "comp" question, it seems to me to be not at all precluded by comp (though the question might be: what *would be* precluded by comp? It seems to permit much more than it precludes). I think Jung would see in your dream/synchronicity not the intervention of a deity, but an invitation to go beyond your rational self. The numinous is knocking!
