▲'''Dalinar's visions''' were short [[visions|episodes]] [[Dalinar]], and previously [[Gavilar]],{{wob ref|3316}}{{book ref|sa2|i|14}} experienced during [[highstorm]]s.
== 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 to, nor heard of, or were places he knew
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}}

From the visions shared statement Dalinar drew the conclusion that he had to unite [[Alethkar]]'s [[highprince]]s because only then would mankind have a chance to withstand the coming events. The visions led Dalinar to the decision to attempt to refound the Knights Radiant.

During this vision Dalinar found himself in the role of a man, [[Heb]], who lived with his wife and daughter, presumably during the advent of a Desolation. Heb and his daughter were attacked by [[Midnight Essence]]s, but managed to reach Heb's house unharmed. Two more of these beasts followed, and after Heb (Dalinar) fought them off with a metal fire poker, Heb took his wife and daughter and fled from the house. A short time later they were surrounded by Midnight Essences. When he and his family thought all was lost, two Knights Radiant arrive. One immediately began to fight the beasts, while the second used [[Regrowth]] to heal Heb and his family before joining her companion in fighting the Midnight Essences. Feeling good again after the healing, Heb joined the fight, and the three of them fought off the Midnight Essences. The [[Starfalls Windrunner|male Knight Radiant]] asked Heb about his strange fighting stances and invited him to come to [[Urithiru]], where the Knights Radiant were centered because everybody who could fight was needed.{{book ref|sa1|19}}▼

Dalinar first had this vision back when he thought the visions were simple nightmares. After sending Queen [[Fen Rnamdi|Fen]] into the starfalls vision, Dalinar returns to this vision. He fights a ragged group of enemy soldiers and after the battle ends he meets a [[Stoneward]] and sees him use the Surge of [[Cohesion]] before pulling [[Navani]] and [[Jasnah]] into the vision, and the Stormfather confirms that it is a vision of the [[Last Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|38}} Later, on her request, Dalinar sends Queen Fen into this vision alone before she decided whether to visit Urithiru.{{book ref|sa3|50}} {{expand}}
