AE 575 - What are real visions?

AE 575 [3]
As the prophets, by whom the Word was written, had real visions,
and others who were also called prophets had visions that were not real,
but their visions were vain and are called "lies,"
it is important that it should be known what visions are.
All things that really appear in the spiritual world are correspondences,
for they correspond to the interiors of angels,
which are the things of their minds,
that is, of their affection and of their thought therefrom,
and therefore such things are signified by them.
For the spiritual,
which is of the affection and the consequent thought of the angels,
clothes itself with such forms
as appear in the three kingdoms of the natural world,
the animal, the vegetable, and the mineral,
and all these forms are correspondences,
such as appeared to the prophets,
and which signify the things to which they corresponded.
But in the spiritual world there can be appearances also
that are not correspondences;
and these are produced by spirits, especially evil spirits,
by means of fantasies,
for by means of fantasies such spirits can present to the view palaces,
and houses full of decorations, also decorated garments;
they can also induce upon themselves beautiful faces,
and other like appearances;
but as soon as the fantasy ceases all these things vanish,
because they are external in which there is nothing internal.
As such visions are from fantasies they signify fallacies
because they deceive the senses
and fallaciously present to view things like real things.
