Recently, I experience a strange vision while laying in the tanning bed. I was thinking about what to eat for dinner, and a picture or vision appeared in my mind. A high porch with a a dark haired lady standing beside the porch and suddenly she fell back into the scrubs. I can't describe her face, but her clothing was so vivid. This scares me, as my train of thought concerning dinner continued after the vision ceased. Am I crazy?

Beth, I have no idea if you are crazy or not, but that 'vision' isn't an indicator of anything, in my opinion. This happens very frequently to people, whether they are under stress, or, like you seem to have been, relaxing. People have billions of (for want of a better word) pictures in the brain, things remembered, things not consciously remembered, TV shows, movies, plots of books that they have read, or something similar. Often, people 'play back' plots of movies or books, or even events in their life, but use their imagination to change the events to something desired, more interesting, etc. What probably happened was that your mind grabbed one or more of those pictures and flashed them into conscious memory. The lady and the porch may be from entirely different memories. Such a 'vision' is similar to taking cuts from several different movies that an actor has made, and editing them together; there would really be no correlation to any meaningful plot, only the continuity of the same actor in each scene. Remember that a mind is never really at rest, and sometimes thoughts and ideas pop into people's consciousness at random.
