I am in a different locale now because I asked God for a transfer to another place. It seemed like it would not materialize; and a friend told me it had been denied. During meditation I saw myself in place X where I had never been and was told the name.I was taken on a tour and noted certain 'markers'.I was given four names. One of the names is the wife of the landlord! Another one of the persons I have seen but not met by introduction. When I share the experience,people ask me if I dreamt it.I was sitting in the sofa meditating when I had the experience. When I pass certain places in the locale where I am, I get the feeling that I have seen it before; and this happens every time. But I cannot identify why I feel that way.During the tour I was told the place is quaint; and that is true.Information I know cannot be found on the internet. How can I tell if it was a dream or vision?I suspect that some people do not want to agree it is a vision because visions are given to prophets.

Relax, you are not a prophet. Anyone can have a vision.

the best answer I have receieved in all my studies is the definition of a vision. A vision is a dream that you can remember in detail. Most of the time when we dream, we forget most if not all of the details, we just wake up remembering we had a great or horrifying dream but not much detail at all. thos edreams that are very vivid are given to you by a higher power for a reason meant for only you. Although some of us have been given the gift to diagnose dreams, sometimes it is not possible as it is just meant for that individual person. As far as who has visions, visions are given to anyone that asks with faith. The best thing to do with people that wan5t to argue with you is to just not discuss it with them as you cannot win an argument about something like that when they did not have the dream/vision and have no clue how vivid it was to you nor how much faith you have in yourself when you asked for a vision. GOOD LUCK

THERE IS A DIFFEENCE BETWEEN A DREAM AND A VISION.YOU DREAM WHEN THERE IS NOT ENOUGH GOD LIGHT AND YOU ARE IN THE THROAT REGION.THAT IS WHY DREAMS ARE NOT VERY CLEAR NOR IMPRINT WELL ON THE MEMORY SYSTEM. BUT YOU SEE A VISION WHEN YOU ARE IN THE HEAD,BETWEEN TWO EYES,WHICH HAS MORE GOD LIGHT AND YOU SEE CLEARLY,WITH DETAIL AND DO NOT FORGET EITHER.VISIONS ARE NOT SEEN BY ONLY PROPHETS RATHER ANY ONE WHO SEES VISIONS BECOMES A PROPHET."PROPHET" MEANS HE WHO CAN TELL PROPHECIES.DREAMS ARE NOT MUCH TRUSTWORTHY BUT VISIONS ARE AND 99% WILL COME TRUE IN LIFE WITH TIME.THERE CAN BE NO HUMAN BEING WHO CAN NOT OR DOES NOT EXPERIENCE DREAMS OR VISIONS.YOU HAVE TOLD YOUR VISION,IF IT WAS A VISION,AND WHEN IT COMES TO PASS,YOU AND OTHERS WILL SAY YES I SAW IT OR YES TOU TOLD US SO. IT MEANS YOU MADE A PROPHECY WHICH MEANS TELLING SOME THING BEFORE IT HAPPENED.BETWEEN PROPHETS OF GOD AND ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO SEE VISIONS THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY GOD FOR LIFE AND WILL ALWAYS BE PROPHETS,TELLINGS THINGS AHEAD OF THEIR HAPPENING,WHATEVER GOD TELLS-REVEAKLS THEM AND ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN NOT ALWAYS HAVE VISIONS TO TELL THEM. FROM AMONG THE REGULAR VISION SEERS GOD SELECTS THOSE AS HIS POPHETS FOR LIFE WHO ARE MOST PURER,MOST OBEDIENT AND LOVE GOD AND FEAR SIN WHICH ORDINARY PEOPLE MAY NOT ALWAYS DO SO.THOSE WHO MEDITATE REGULARLY WILL MOST VERY OFTEN SEE VISIONS.SEEING OF VISIONS DOES NOT MAKE ANY ONE HOLY,LOVE OF GOD AND FEAR OF SIN DOES THAT.THAT IS WHY ALL MAY SEE VISIONS BUT ALL MAY NOT BE GOD APPOINTED PROPHETS. gfr.

We are all capable of clairvoyant visions. In dreams you are dealing with emotional left overs from the conscious state. This type of thing does sound like astral travelling, though.

I don't think it matters how and when god gives you visions.

A dream occurs during REM sleep. If you weren't asleep, then it wasn't a dream.

both are the same thing..... its just that we rarely remmember our dreams.... what makes you think the prophets were any different from you..... you are a child of God .... just as they are..... :)

Oh, darn, I thought you meant as a result of MEDICATION. That would make more sense.
