== Highstorms and visions ==
After he began listening to readings from [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']] Dalinar began experiencing strange episodes during each highstorm. As each stormwall hit, Dalinar suddenly felt as though he had been transported to another place. The people he interacted with did not see him, but someone else in his place. The visions felt real to him, as he could feel pain. The visions often depicted places he had never been, nor heard of, or were places he knew of referred to by ancient names. He also saw the fabled [[Knights Radiant]] alive and in action. He surmised that the visions were from ancient [[Desolation]]s during the [[Shadowdays]].{{book ref|sa1|19}} Dalinar could not summon his [[Shardblade]] in a vision.
At first, Dalinar suffered these visions feeling he was going mad. Dalinar eventually volunteered to be tied to a chair, because he raved and thrashed about.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Watching him was unnerving, and [[Renarin]] told him that he spoke gibberish during the visions.{{book ref|sa1|52}} Though Dalinar thought that the visions might have been sent from the [[Almighty]], he wavered and felt uncertain about them. He spoke to the [[ardent]]s, but received no solution. Feeling he was losing his mind, Dalinar decided to abdicate his position as Highprince in favor of [[Adolin]].{{book ref|sa1|28}} In an argument about this topic, Renarin suggested that they try to prove whether the visions were fabrications or contained any real references. They decided to ask [[Navani]] to document the visions.{{book ref|sa1|52}}
