Pagh'tem'far

The pagh'tem'far was a holy vision that was bestowed upon those who followed the ways of the Bajoran Prophets. They were symbolic and did not show the actual event but rather had to be interpreted.

A series of these visions can be life threatening to a person who experiences them but during the process, they begin to see events that have not occured yet or ones that had happened long ago.
