Synchronicity.. Is it just a coincidence.?? An intuitive mind rarely thinks so.
Before I was really aware of what Typology was and I certainly had little education as far as the functions go..
I described it as having access to your subconscious.. Everybody does.. or rather your subconscious has access to your conscious mind.
it's probably a little of both. Your subconscious does not speak a particular language..It's knows the languages you know, and might even know every language ever spoken, but when it speaks, It speaks in metaphor , symbolism and mysticism. Even the words it uses when it does speak in a language, are just symbols. Your Subconscious sees more, feels more, hears more, smells more, processes and KNOWS more than your conscious mind does.
SO what if the bridge between your subconscious , which is a realm of limitless potential, infinite ideas and where anything is possible, can be crossed more easily for some? What if the conscious mind in some people, just has a capacity or is more willing, for more reception to the messages the subconscious is sending, 24/7.. Even when we sleep the subconscious does not.
I feel most Ni is just that; Communication between the conscious and subconscious mind.
Some people just listen, can listen, or are more willing to listen, than others.
One thing for certain, trying to explain or even remembering a dream* can be near impossible. But it has left it's emotional and intellectual impressions on you anyway.
Then one day something triggers that impression and connections start being made.. Often very vague connections. often indescribable connections.
It's at this point for the Ni user that something emerges (AH HA!), while for others, it is dismissed. This itself might not even be a conscious decision.
*Dream, being conscious or unconscious, and just a word I am using to describe a "kind" of communication between the subconscious and conscious minds.
