Hi Gilberto,
>So what happened when someone says they "saw a vision"? Is it a
God-induced hallucination only visible to one person? Is it an
appearance visible to many people? <

I don't think it's necessary or useful for others to attempt to define what really happened when someone says they had a vision, unless the vision-seer tries to use that to affect other peoples lives. Aside from that, I think it's fruitless to try to define what another person's vision "really was". Even the person who had the vision may not be sure.
On the other hand, if a person who had a vision uses that to tell other people what to do, then I would want evidence that the visionary's message was good and true.
>What about these resurrectionexperiences? Physical?
Shoghi Effendi said the
stories about Christ's resurrection are symbolic; the resurrection was spiritual, not material.
