AE 575 - visions

AE 575 [2]
Visions, which and from which a person or the spirit of person sees,
are of a twofold kind;
there are real visions and visions that are not real;
real visions are visions of such things as really appear in the spiritual world,
corresponding altogether with the thoughts and affections of angels,
consequently they are real correspondences.
Such were the visions that the prophets had who prophesied truths;
such also were the visions that appeared to John,
and that are described throughout Revelation.
But visions that are not real
have the same appearance in the external form as real visions,
but not in the internal form;
they are produced by spirits by means of fantasies.
Such visions those prophets had who prophesied vain things or lies.
All such visions, because they are not real are fallacies,
and thus they also signify fallacies.
