Vision (spirituality)

Vision (spirituality)

In spirituality, a vision is something seen in a dream, trance, or ecstasy, especially a supernatural appearance that conveys a revelation.

Visions generally have more clarity than dreams, but traditionally fewer psychological connotations.

Entheogens (such as peyote) have traditionally assisted in the generation of visions among diverse cultures, as well as in modern western culture.

Prophecy is often associated with visions, though this is a very controversial topic. Examples of prophets who were believed to have visions are Ellen G. White (of Christianity) and Muhammad (of Islam).
