Re: Vision Quests

hey theory,
their mindset has been preconditioned to expect to see an animal long before they actually ventured out on the quest. For many years prior, they would have heard much about other's guardians and shared experiences. Saturating the memory with this concept over time, would bring it to the forefront when the quest was taking place. As to the specific type of animal that would appear in the vision, would likely have some traits that the individual would identify with. The eagle being able to soar, the strength of a bear, the hunting ability of a wolf, would be traits that would be sought after and hence that animal that would appear in the vision. They may also associate with a guardian of a person they admire. The input fed into the mind will generate the vision or dream
