Jung's theory on the “collective unconscious”, expanded on by Joseph Campbell's work on mythology and spirituality and the hero's journey were all influences in the concept of "Vision Speak". Are you familiar with these ideas? Did this differentiate Vision Speak abilities versus mind reading or telepathy (which has been depicted in many fictional works) for you when you were reading the book?

Joseph Campbell was a wonderfully wise, humorous and humble scholar. Jung was so courageous and ahead of his time. I appreciate all the others who continue to work towards understanding our humanity and our connection to the divine. The 'concept' of collective unconscious is one thing; the experience is something that I bet every human being has had, whether they realize it or not.
Has anyone else had some weird connection or serendipity that beats the odds? It occurs with people who are close to you mostly, knowing when the phone will ring, or hearing from someone that you haven't heard from in years but were just thinking of. I used to find that when I had dinner ready for my (now-ex) husband, 50% of the time it was what he had ordered for lunch.
The collective unconscious is a connection that goes beyond those who are close to us. It's similar. It may carry ideas that are ripe to many people at the same time, like seeds blown by the wind.
