    It's something some Native Americans would do.
    A vision quest is a rite of passage in some Native American cultures. It is usually only undertaken by young males entering adulthood. Individual Indigenous cultures have their own names for their rites of passage. "Vision quest" is an English umbrella term, and may not always be accurate or used by the cultures in question.
    Among Native American cultures who have this type of rite, it usually consists of a series of ceremonies led by Elders and supported by the young man's community. The process includes a complete fast for four days and nights, alone at a sacred site in nature which is chosen by the Elders for this purpose. Some communities have used the same sites for many generations. During this time, the young person prays and cries out to the spirits that they may have a vision, one that will help them find their purpose in life, their role in a community, and how they may best serve the People. Dreams or visions may involve natural symbolism - such as animals or forces of nature - that require interpretation by Elders. After their passage into adulthood, and guided by this experience, the young person may then become an apprentice or student of an adult who has mastered this role.
    Sounds intense, yo.

      I recently had an intense vision after an hour of keeping my eyes closed
      What i saw was a smiling kung fu master sitting as budhha smiling at me a scary smile
      The kind of masters you see in Jackie chan movies
      It seemed he was saying to me that i have much more to learn
      Calling me a novice
      I don't think that was a spirit if a dead masters
      He seemed to have transcended death was immortal
      In some spirit dimension
      Like Elijah went to heaven without dying
      I've seen anton levay become a demon he commrnded me fir starting neosatanism
      Other stuff
