“What is this?”
“Half dream.”
“Half dream?”
“You’re almost dead, kid. Smashed your spirit up pretty good. Lots of cracks. That let me in.””
Visions are a partially spiritual partially cognitive phenomena that shards and some invested individuals can induce.
Thus far Honor - via the Stormfather - Odium, Kelsier as Preservation[1], and Renarin Kholin, have been able to induce visions.
Brandon has implied that these visions may be a type of pocket dimension in the Spiritual Realm.
Honor's Visions
Odium's Visions
Notably, Odium was demonstrated to be vulnerable during his visions with Taravangian, allowing Taravangian to slay him with Nightblood. This shattered the vision, leaving a dark void, within which Taravangian was able to ascend to the Shard of Odium.
Preservation's Visions
Kelsier, as Preservation, as able to pull a semi-comatose Spook into a "half dream" of how the world once was to communicate vital information to Spook about how to defeat Ruin.[1]
