In Religion , visions comprise Inspiration al renderings, generally of a Future state and/or of a Myth ical being, and are believed (by followers of the religion) to come from a Deity , directly or indirectly via Prophet s, and serve to inspire or prod believers as part of a Revelation or an Epiphany . Many mystics take the word ''vision'' to be synonymous with Apparition . For religious visions as a literary form, see Apocalyptic Literature . Artistic s may transmit the visioning to their loyal followers. Visions generally have more clarity than Dream s, but traditionally fewer psychological connotations. Entheogen s have traditionally assisted in the generation of visions among diverse cultures, as well as in modern western culture. Some could consider visions to be a manifestation of the 'aha' (lightbulb going off) type of learning associated with Picture Thinking or Visual Spatial thinking.
