How many people (say, out of 1000) do you think have had a vision?

By "vision" I mean not a goal, an orientation, or a purpose. What I mean by "vision" is an mystical experience, a kind of dreamlike (but awake, conscious) experience of seeing things that are "objectively" not there.

I just don't see this being talked about, at least outside of religious conversations. No, my visions were/are not religious.

Nor are they a kind of "forced", "sudden", "violent" visions you see in the movies. They come in slowly and calmly, and I (usually) accept their lead. They are almost like dreams, but while awake.

Day dreams?

They say visions are part of a neurological disturbance a visual representation of a physical property and they don't really mean anything, but the person that experiences them will afterwards put meaning to them.

@Lostpoet As much as I would agree with the neurological disturbance part (I lean towards agreeing for it makes sense, but remain skeptical, as I'm not too lettered in neurology), the meaning part I'd have to disagree with. If a vision truly come from a supernatural source, science can hardly prove it "doesn't mean anything."

No, not daydreams. What I'm speaking of here basically amounts to dreaming, while being awake and conscious of your surroundings.

@Boallods I still think it's just weird neural activity and instead of you having a physical seizure you are having a visual one and then applying meaning to it.

We agree on the literal sense, but disagree on a more fundamental one. Let's but agree to disagree.

@Boallods I was just talking out of my butt, dude. ✌
