spiritual visions

Sacred mental images

Spiritual visions are experiences of seeing things not physically present—divine beings, prophetic scenes, heavenly realms, or symbolic imagery—perceived as revelations from a higher power or deeper reality.

They may occur during prayer, meditation, dreams, or altered states: The saint reported spiritual visions of angels.

Across traditions, such visions guide, warn, or transform the recipient.
