'''Dalinar's visions'''
== Highstorms and visions ==
After he began
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}}
This decision led to the discovery by Navani that Dalinar did not speak gibberish during his visions. During the first vision she witnessed, he spoke the [[Dawnchant]]. They considered this proof that the visions were real. The Dawnchant was a real extinct language on [[Roshar]], but there were no known translation keys for modern scholars to study it. Since Dalinar would have had no prior knowledge of the Dawnchant they came to the conclusion that his mind could not be fabricating the visions.{{book ref|sa1|60}} As a side effect, Navani was sure that this discovery would help to translate an old book called [[Analectics]].

One vision
; Starfalls▼
During this vision Dalinar finds himself in the role of a man, [[Heb]], who lives with his wife and daughter, presumably during the advent of a [[Desolation]]. Heb and his daughter are attacked by [[Midnight Essence]]s but manage to reach Heb's house unharmed. Two more of these beasts follow, and after Heb (Dalinar) fights them off, Heb takes his wife and daughter and flees from the house, only to run into other Midnight Essences. When he and his family think all is lost, two Knights Radiant come. One immediately begins to fight the beasts while the second uses "Regrowth" to heal Heb and his family before joining her companion in fighting the Midnight Essences. Feeling good again after the healing, Heb joins the fight and the three of them fight off the Midnight Essences. The male Knight Radiant, [[Harkaylain]], asks Heb about his strange fighting stances and invites him to come to [[Urithiru]], where the Knights Radiant are centered: because everybody who could fight is needed.{{book ref|sa1|19}}▼
Dalinar mentions that this is his twelfth vision.▼
; A Highway to the Sun▼
Dalinar is in the role of a soldier (named Leef) at [[Feverstone Keep]], and there witnesses when the Orders of the Windrunners and the Stonewards abandoning their [[Shardplate]] and [[Shardblade]]s, and leave the people. Though Dalinar tries to get an explanation for their abandonment from the leaving former Knights Radiant, he gets none. The voice tells him that "this event will go down in history" and Dalinar assumes that he just saw the [[Day of Recreance]].{{book ref|sa1|52}}▼
; That Which We Cannot Have▼
▲During
In this vision Dalinar is shown the aftermath of a Desolation. His role is as a man named Karm, an advisor to a king, probably [[Nohadon]] himself. This king wavers over what to do with the [[Surgebinding|Surgebinders]], and how they could be made to act more honorably. Though this king is younger than Dalinar had imagined Nohadon to be, and refused the idea of writing a book as absurd, Dalinar is sure that he was right about him being Nohadon. Eventually this man decides to unite the people so that they can stand better against future Desolations.{{book ref|sa1|60}}▼
This is the last vision recorded in [[The Way of Kings]]. Dalinar finds himself in a place that he recognizes as the place of his very first vision. A man stands beside him, showing him what might happen in the future—though the man admits that [[Cultivation]] is better in seeing the future than he. Then, finally, Dalinar realizes that this voice, this man, has never actually heard him, explaining why he never answered Dalinar's questions. ▼
; The Lake Fortress▼
▲Dalinar
In [[Words of Radiance]], Dalinar has a vision in which he sees himself as a soldier, marching with several other soldiers through a shallow body of water that he believes to be the [[Purelake]]. They're heading towards a massive fortress, which is not known to exist in the Purelake in modern times, when an evil spren animates a massive piece of stone, which rips itself free of the lakebed to attack them: a [[Thunderclast]].▼
