An appearance or vision, particularly one that is experienced as an objective or prophetic display.

The term conveys both ordinary seeing as well as the concept of a supernatural manifestation perceived by the seer.

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in a vision
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed to 'in a vision' for naturalness and to reflect the indefinite sense typically found in Daniel. This aligns with both common usage and the silex_definition, which references revelatory states. 'The vision' (P1) may unnecessarily specify a single vision where the indefinite is preferable in this context. |
