The only
evidence of the
existence of a collective unconscious that all
humans share, that I have experienced personally, was one day when I fell
asleep playing
Mario Kart with my then
boyfriend. I woke up, turned to him and asked: "Ji dian le?" (What time is it?) He glances at me with his
sleepy green eyes, not comprehending. I shake him a little and I ask again: "xian zai ji dian le?" (What time is it now?) He looks down at his
watch and tells me that it's 5.
A few moments later, we both realize I was speaking to him in
Mandarin and that he had no idea what I was saying, yet he somehow
understood.
Concidence? Or proof of
Jung's theory?
