Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The practice of vision quests involves fasting, also known as starvation, and sleep deprivation. This is done to induce an altered state of consciousness and facilitate communication with the spiritual world. Twirling may be a part of some Native American rituals, but it is not necessarily a component of vision quests. Sleep extension would not be a part of the vision quest process as it is meant to induce exhaustion and altered states of awareness.
