Through visions, Native Americans believed that they could gain knowledge about the future, receive healing and protection, and communicate with deceased relatives and ancestors. Visions could provide individuals with guidance on important life decisions, such as choosing a career, finding a mate, or embarking on a new journey.
In many Native American cultures, visions were highly respected and sought after, often through rituals, spiritual practices, or quests. People who experienced powerful visions were often considered to be gifted or chosen by the spirits and were held in high regard.
