holy visions
Sacred spiritual sightings
Holy visions are supernatural experiences in which a person sees divine beings, sacred imagery, or revelations from God.
Religious traditions are full of accounts: prophets receiving commands, saints witnessing heaven, mystics beholding light.
The phrase can be used skeptically: She claims to have holy visions, but I think she's just sleep-deprived.
Whether interpreted as genuine divine contact or psychological phenomenon depends on the believer.
