my mind is If this collective unconscious does exist, why are there no
animals that have perfected this comunication. After all surely such an
animal would have little problem surviving, finding food would be easy, just
read the mind of a fellow animal of your species that has found food and go
to where they are. You would know where the preditors were etc etc. Perhaps
this ability is only a recent evolutionary event and only becoming minutely
apparent in the most complex brains on the planet. Maybe it has contributed
to the success of mankind ?.
Of course as you can see my belief in this link is based on very little
evidence and can easily be argued, but I still think there is something in
it
and to be honest the more I learn and think about it , the more I tend to
re-enforce my belief.

Alex, expect em' to buts your chops on this list for holding such an opinion.
I am not sure I personally buy into it because to quote American Engineer,
Vanevar Bush, the validity of a science is its ability to predict. I am not
sure how you'd be able to predict anything that is to come. On the other
hand the notion of uncovering hidden things, patterns, ideas, and the like
can, at least, be traced back to Plato. Carl Jung also dealt with this as
you're well aware of, but despite his brilliance, his involvement with Nordic
Mysticism, seems a bit 'round the bend' for me. Biologist Rupert Sheldrake
has taken a lot of heat for his 'morphic patterning' he claims to have
discovered in nature. So you might want to look up his works to see if it
fits what you are experiencing.
Best of Luck, Mitch
