A vision is when something is seen
in a dreamlike state, or a trance of some kind that comes over a person, or
perhaps in a state of religious ecstasy, especially when it includes a supernatural appearance
that usually conveys some sort of revelation to the one having the vision…often,
it will suddenly ‘come over’ a person…it is said that visions generally have
more clarity than dreams, and are recalled quite vividly in some cases...visions
are known to emerge from spiritual traditions and that is was possible that
they could provide insight into human nature, reality, and the future…often
times visions are closely aligned with prophecy…some believe visions are
strictly religious in nature, but that is a mistake for many people have had
visions that had nothing to do with any religious influence or matter…it would
also be wrong to merely dismiss visions as hallucinations as thought the person
having the vision is having some sort of mental issue, for that is not usually
the case…they are in many cases, ordinarily rational people who are having
something more than dreams…and many of these ‘dreams’ or visions do come true…sometimes
one may think they see something, but when they try to look closer, it
disappears…leaving the person wondering if they saw anything at all…sometimes
it’s an actual vision that is clear and appears before them, and sometimes…the
person experiencing the phenomenon doesn’t even know what it is…is it something
that can be developed as some claim?...I think not…I believe it to be a God
given or something given ability…this subject is close to me because I have had
visions…visions of good and visions of bad…visions that I told my friends about
and that came true shortly thereafter…I cannot explain these visions either…they
were either odd feelings that came over me, actual visions of something
occurring, or remembering a vision that I didn’t remember ever having…they are
sporadic, uncontrollable, and most mysterious.
