The Collective Unconscious is one of The Seven Forces of the Universe— the Alpha Effect-based energies born from The Source and wielded by The Hands. Also known as Mindworld, this realm is actually a higher plane of existence that serves as the power source of all the psychics in the Multiverse, carrying "the echoes of all souls that ever lived".[16] It is also Hecate's place of power, shaped like the Moon itself, where the spirits of her hosts reside while the goddess uses their bodies to carry out her will.
History
Origin
In the beginning, The Source gifted the Hand, Perpetua, seven magical forces that she had to use to create a new Multiverse. After using the Totality of her powers to shape the Creation itself, it was born a new realm, which would be later known as the "Collective Unconscious".[1]
At least 26 billion years later after the defeat of Perpetua, the scraps of Creation, or more commonly known as Magic,[2] formed the first magical being, Hecate. The Goddess of Magic (and original Goddess of the Moon) began using the Collective Unconscious as her domain that she shaped like The Moon itself.[3][4]

Notes
- The Collective Unconscious has been depicted both in the Pre-Flashpoint and Post-Flashpoint continuities as the higher realm of mind–[5] a representation of the world of mind, commonly referred to as mindscape– where psychics can journey into.
- Being a fundamental force of the Creation,[1] the Collective Unconscious exists across the multiverses of the Infinite Frontier[25] and, possibly, Hypertime.
- Each time a character's mindscape appears in a story is technically an appearance of the Collective Unconscious. The mindscapes are commonly shaped like someone's memories.
- This plane of existence was first named in Justice League Dark #24. In the Pre-Flashpoint continuity, this realm was originally known as "Headworld"/"Mindworld", which is a nod to this plane of existence being the etheral dimension of mind, or "The Moon's Road", as a reference to Hecate, the Goddess of Moon.[3]
- The Collective Unconscious has some connection to both the Dreaming[17][26] and The Red.[17]
Trivia
- The Collective Unconscious is named after the philosophic concept of the same name coined by Carl Gustav Jung.
