There are three types of vision: corporeal visions; imaginative visions and intellectual visions. A corporeal vision is something that is seen or heard, and for which there’s no explanation, it’s likely that not everyone sees it but only one person or even a select group. A known example of this is the Virgin Mary being seen in the 1980s at in Medjugorje where a young girl appeared to see an apparition of the Virgin Mary, and through the next 3 days a few others saw her too.

Take the narrator in “The Yellow Wallpaper” for example. She suffered already from postpartum depression, and being left alone drove her into a state of mind that she needed someone there to be with her. Her husband left her alone every day for work even after she begged him to stay. She decided while he was out that she would write in a journal about the things she experienced throughout the day and previous night. The first night she was at the house, confined in a room with strange yellow wallpaper, she saw what seemed to be like a woman trapped within the wallpaper. As the days went on, she kept seeing the same woman, every night, and she always seemed trapped within the wallpaper. One day, the narrator decided to rip the wallpaper down and free her friend from the confinement of the wallpaper, but did not realize that the woman was not real. Her mind slipped out of her hands and insanity swallowed it whole, all because she was left alone every day, confined to a house with no one in it.…
