mystical vision

Divine sight experienced

A mystical vision is an experience of direct perception of divine reality, spiritual truth, or transcendent realms—typically intense, transformative, and beyond ordinary sensory experience.

The term appears in religious and spiritual contexts: The saint's mystical vision convinced her of God's presence.

Such visions may involve seeing divine figures, receiving revelations, or experiencing unity with the cosmos.
