A Jungian psychiatrist questions an analysand about her dreamlike visions of other people's lives. The doctor believes this is the Collective Unconscious connecting this woman to greater humanity. She sends a notice about "waking dreams" in a Jung Journal. This clarifies for her teacher in London that her analysand, a Russian dissident, isn't delusional. He claims to have "seen" Vladimir Putin telling cronies that he would create a crisis to keep him in office. This information comes to the attention of MI-5/6.At DARPA a program to detect "Black Swan" episodes is triggered by a boy's daydream of another child's misshapen. In Novosibirsk, Russia, a young girl warns her teacher about a car accident, one of many "daydreams" that come to the attention of an FSB officer.

At a London Jung Symposium, against the backdrop of a growing world crisis, doctors wonder if the "Collective Unconscious is orchestrating a kind of group therapy on the human race."As government security agencies try to contain this "psychic virus," it pushes humanity toward Pierre de Chardin's "Omega Point" and the possible spiritual unification of the human species.
