yeah its a bitch
i took the 'big plunge' when i first found synchronicity playing around my existence
not a good couple of years, it became all i existed for. i hurt myself, listening to the unpleasant things when they synched up, signing my own warrant in psycho-spiritual condemnation because i offered myself the chance to hear the negativity, its so enticing...
there was a kind of love in there, sometimes it would all seem beautiful, but that was a product of delusion and ultimately debilitating for my psyche and spirit.
your lucky to know the Jungian terms for it, if id have heard it those choice words to the intellect would have really helped clear it up sooner, or prevent me falling to it in the 'fallen angel' sense...
things are cool now, but its a dangerous game to listen to, as the darker side of your imagination is the one that ends up listening, the most of the time. i still half think people can read my mind... fuck!!!   
edit: lol and to answer the question better it began at a time when id been on the shrooms, coke, weed constantly for years which must have finally taken a toll. i was hanging with some people who were probably engaged in mind games/consciousness experimentation which is... fine i guess but they were part of a bit of a esoteric group, with a mutual youth organisation thing, in the first place so i had an outsider role to play, and i played it like a motherfucker, ended up having paranoic episodes and so on all accompanied by the tune of your own psyches 'heroic fallen' song. i saw some shit too that just cant be denied as otherworldly, part of a different reality that I existed in, as something else, someone new... but yeah i kinda got over it, took my opened mind (always open, but i liken some of the experiences to that of a crowbar) soothed it, learnt a little and recovered. learnt a lot about life, creation and my mind, lucky im a powerful son of a bitch  to be honest

They give me a sense of connectedness. A feeling of being on the right path. One might also call it being in touch with the Tao.
I think it has to do with living a symbolic life, where everything that you experience is considered meaningful. The implication being that everything is synchronicity.
Take this quote from Jung, a few days before he died:
"To this day God is the name by which I designate all things which cross my willful path violently and recklessly, all things which upset my subjective views, plans and intentions and change the course of my life for better or worse."
I love it. Learning to "be" in that place is the work of a lifetime, and I think the way into that is to basically trust the synchronicities. Each one is a peek into the greater mystery, it's beautiful.

i think might be surprised how many people understand what you've been through, and are going through
dude ive had the shit when i think everyone can hear my thoughts, i remember an early example that was not good for me. i was at the store and this ginger checkout guy had a funny look in his eye that i didnt like (due to delusion... i can say that now im 3 years down the line  ) so my MIND says 'you fucking ginger cunt you can fucking hear me cant you?' and the guy says the appropriate 'thanks' after he's served me but with such a tone in his voice and look in his eye... was it my eyes or just some crazy shit?
listen to what the response above me says, its the tao, perhaps, but its definitely that of symbolic meaning. this kind of stuff might not help you at this early stage.
things go on and the mindstage (erm i just coined that one...) is a weird place, radiant and dark in equal measure. for me it was learning to witness the former more than i did the latter, which is not necessarily easy at first, in its newness
sting and the police even did a song called synchronicity and the video is a version of exactly the stuff you/i/we sometimes see ('the police' the mind police, right? writing songs about it only they have written a song about it there must be something going on...) thats the sort of thing idve thought.
something going on: there is and there isnt and that is a sincere truth of it. its all in the mind, learn to follow it as best it can be (again the guy above)
most of all, just chill. and realise that anything your mind suggests to you, the most universal and unwieldy concepts, that seem so compelling maybe and implacable... its all up to you. dont let it grab you by the balls, because its all up to you bro. peace it together.

deja vu and the sense of synchronicity are very closely related.
both involve re-experiencing the present moment after processing it.
in deja vu one is astonished that everything is proceeding exactly as it was known to have happenned, and often it continues even after expressing this astonishment... then it trails off.
synchronicity usually relates to just some part of the re-experiencing with some other part being cued up to match most excellently.
both are like having a second chance.
both are due to time having become layered in the inebriated mind.

I like this explanation.
You have to remember that even if things are connecting explosively all over the place, your choices remain your own. That is, you don't have to follow negative energy just because it seems to connect to where you are.
Once you realize what sort of experiences you are attracting, you can make lucid decisions - and stop following the dark. . .
Or cultivate it, write about it, and make millions on the movie rights.

Chronic deja vu - check.
Synchronicity all over - check.
Following negative motions - check.
Believing that people can a) read my mind or b) is allready a part of it - big check on both.
Believing in "signs" - Check.
Believing in punishments from God - Check.
Believing in rewards from God - check.
Believing that I infact am God - check.
Being afraid of telling my friends - check.
Wondering, and worrying, how many that allready know about this - check.
Learning how to relax, by being presented with an overwhelming amount of shit you can't stand, isn't easy.
But this isn't the easy way. Being the easy rider isn't something reserved for us at all.
Its not easy to take it easy. It takes a great deal of effort, atleast on my part. I can really relate to everything in this thread. Its also very synchronized with the rest of my life, in terms of Jung and synchronicity. I first heard about Jungian synchronicity the other day. And this is another proof of once you learn something new, it pops up all over the place. The blind spot is removed.
I'm 22.

For me, intuition guides me and synchronicity assures me that ive read intuition correctly.
Example: i get a sudden urge in my gut to take a path down an alley ive never walked down before. i follow this inuition. At the end of this alley way someone has painted a beautifull yin yang symbol on a wall, and written the words "I love you" underneath.
To me this is a synchronous event which illuminates why i was urged down that alley at that time.
countless examples of this. Another thing i notice is that frequently profound occurences will happen at the time 11:11, or in association with the number 11.
Telepathy, esp, synchronicity... all appear when looked for.

uhuh
update: i dont think anyone has really experienced synchronicity until they have been taking a shit (context also: post illness with diarrea, sorry) and suddenly become aware that there is a cat mewing outside in absolute harmony with the strains of your glutamous maximus... then when i became too aware, and consciously strained my final push... another cat joined in and they had a fucking fight! This actually happened! A few days ago!
lol... if only every synchronicity was built on toilet humour
and moonshoe... i might have to do that, paint a big Love You Ying Yang somewhere...

Sometimes the tao or the matrix or the collective unconscious or whatever you want to name it just finds you.
Twenty-five years ago I was in a restaurant with a friend who happened to be a paramedic when another diner had a seizure and began choking on the food in her mouth when it got caught in the airway. I watched as he kept her from hurting herself on the floor, and reached in and cleared her airway.
Two days later I was on the highway and in the car right in front of me, the driver arched his back and began shaking uncontrollably. I could tell he was having a seizure. He ran off the road and rolled the car. When I got to him, his airway was blocked by his own tongue, and he was still having the seizure. The knowledge I gained 48 hours earlier saved the guys life. Those are the only two times I've been exposed to people having a seizure in my fifty plus years.
Such has happened many times since, but not that dramatic. I think these things happen to all of us if we just allow ourselves to take notice.

Most definitely. Everything is synchronized, it just may not be with us yet

Nothing is a coincidence. Everything is in synch is you're aware of it. Many of us just live blindly and write this off. We're all connected, all of our emotions, thoughts, actions all form our collective experience. What you experienece in your reality is a reflection of your mindset.
A few weeks ago I was really wanting a rural place to go be alone so I could go write my book. Had no idea how to make it happen as I'm broke, but... A few days later I'm hitching rides up I-5 and get a ride from a guy saying he just bought a ranch up in the rural northern cascades with a nice house, he's looking for someone to look after it for a few months. Funny how it all works out.
Watch your thoughts, they become your reality. Our minds are much more powerful than we know. You are creating whatever you experience. You aren't crazy.

we are very complex creatures
the cerebellum has within it several million timing circuits that can be latched onto.
some we use to coordinate physical movement (muscular coordination) others we use to anticipate events - such as with music, or when an approaching bus will stop and open it's door.
anticipation of something that has happenned once before (especially if it has been rewarding in any way) is nothing to be ashamed of, but many of these events with numbers, numerological or numerocitic, are made up of the world as it is, a little anticipation, and natural coordination or timing.
synchronicity, on the other hand, and how it plays into serendipity, on a much larger scale, is a very beautiful thing: it is like a vast symphony orchestral jam session. An honor to be a tiny part of, and a thrill to witness, especially if you are at a really good part of a trip.
