I am the poorest amateur Latin fan you will ever find, but I'm trying to figure out a word or phrase, either by just learning the actual Latin word or synthesizing one someone who knows better Latin than I do would recognize.
I need a word for "visions," or "waking dreams." Just "seeing" or just "dreams" isn't enough. I mean, like, the psychic / messages from God kind of visions, but not specifically sacred.
The best I could figure out was dream = somnium and to wake = expergiscor but I'm stumped on combining the two.
Please help if there is a real word or in coming up with a new one.

You were there and didn't know it.
Somnia = dreams, visions; fantasies, day-dreams. This is the nominative plural of 'somnium'
You could also use:
Visa = visions; things which are seen, appearances, sights; visual/mental images. This is plural of the 2nd declension neuter noun 'visum'.

Lucid dreams may be of some help...lucidus?
