Dream vision {Geoffrey Chaucer}:And in my slepe I mette, as I lay,How African, right in that selfe arayThat Scipioun him saw before that tydeWas comen, and stood right at my beddes sydePoetic vision {Blake}:And by came an angel, who had a bright key, And he opened the coffins, and set them all freeNarcotic vision {Thomas De Quincey}:A theatre seemed suddenly opened and lighted up within my brain, which presented nightly spectacles of more than earthly splendour.Hallucination {Shakespeare}:Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?Epileptic vision {Dostoyevsky}:His brain seemed to catch fire at brief moments...His sensation of being alive and his awareness increased tenfold at those moments which flashed by like lightning. His mind and heart were flooded by a dazzling light.
