Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which are causally unrelated. In order to be synchronous, the events must be related to one another conceptually, and the chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small. In Jungian psychology, Coincidences that seem to be meaningfully related; supposedly the result of "universal forces".
