Broadly speaking, Jung used the term to describe "the simultaneous occurrence of a certain psychic state with one or more external events, which appear as meaningful parallels to the momentary subjective state, and, in certain cases, vice versa." Within this framework, Jung included more typical, meaningful coincidence experiences, as well as a range of psychic or "psi" phenomena, such as precognitive dreams, clairvoyance, and telepathy. Jung's interest in these areas stemmed from a number of unusual personal experiences, as well as observations from his clinical work with patients. He was also influenced by relevant scientific research, most notably that of J.B. Rhine, with whom he maintained a long-term correspondence.
