The visions are a prophetic ability. It's occasionally experienced by the ninja while they're asleep. Zane, Wu, and Lloyd are the ones who most commonly have visions.

History

Because of his past in the Cloud Kingdom, Quanish had the ability to see the future, an ability which made him known as a fool.

When Garmadon visited the Wyldness and struck the Gong of Shattering in the Shadow Dojo, he was propelled in the Forest of Spirits, where he found the petrified Wolf warriors, the spirits of the warriors were furious at Garmadon and gave him a vision of the Forbidden Five, Lord Argus and Zaiden Kane.

Wu had visions of Garmadon's return and a few of the Ninja vehicles.

Rise of the Snakes

Rise of the Snakes

While meditating with the Spirit smoke, Wu saw Lloyd terrorizing Jamanakai Village alongside the Hypnobrai, revealing to Wu that the Serpentine had been released. Although the ninja did not believe Wu's visions at first, Wu stated that the spirit smoke does not lie, immediately prompting the ninja to return to Jamanakai Village.

Never Trust a Snake

Zane had a vision about fighting Garmadon on the Destiny's Bounty and losing until the Green Ninja comes in and defeats him. It ends with duplicates of the Falcon surrounding him.

The Rise of the Great Devourer

While meditating with the Spirit smoke, Wu saw himself confronting Pythor in Ouroboros, only for the Great Devourer to rise up from behind him.

Tournament of Elements

Versus

Chained up inside Chen's Island, Zane visions himself encountering the Titanium Dragon.

Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu

Wasted True Potential

Zane visions Aspheera breaking into the monastery with her staff. Next, a parade of Pyro Vipers marches by. The vision ends with a glimpse of the Ice Emperor and Boreal freezing Great Lake, Ice Fishers, and the ninja.

In Search of Adventures

During a conversation with the ninja, Zane suddenly turned off and got another vision. He found himself being attacked by the Blizzard Warriors in the Never-Realm and at the end, was attacked by Aspheera with her staff.

The Belly of the Beast

After entering the stomach of Beohernie, Zane visions himself being blasted with a Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, where he wakes up and continues his search for the Thermolytic Inverter.

Amber Spiral

Skylor had visions of her mother being in the village in the valley. She later had other visions of the origins of her element and all her ancestors, she later discovered that the Original Master of Amber had given her the visions to led her to the Urn of Enmity.

Dragons Rising, Season 1

The Battle of the Second Monastery

After Lloyd agrees to become a conduit to hold a portion of the Source Dragon of Energy's dragon power to energize the portal gate in the Monastery of Imperium. Lloyd was granted a vision of the six Source Dragons' symbols and a vision of graves of numerous ninja.

Dragons Rising, Season 2

The Blood Moon

Lloyd has a vision of Wolf Mask Warriors, the Blood Moon, Zeatrix, and the Mallet and Gong of Shattering. He doesn't know what they are at the time of his vision.

Later when preparing to fight Cinder, he sees a Wolf Mask Warrior and experiences another vision. He sees Wolf Mask Warriors surrounding him, the Blood Moon high in the sky, and the Gong of Shattering.

Shattered Dreams

As the ninja prepare to fight the Wolf Clan in Cloud Kingdom, Lloyd has a short vision of Wolf Mask Claw Warriors lurking in the red fog of the Blood Moon.

Fugitives From Madness

After a discussion with Rontu, Lloyd experiences a vision where he views the deaths and suffering of his friends and allies. This includes Cole, Zane, Bonzle, and Sora. He also sees Bonzle laying down on an altar before Ras, and five silhouettes with a mysterious red glow upon them.

Rising Ninja

When Lloyd tries to attack Cinder, his visions comes on. While he ties to fight them, remembering what Rontu told him he allows the visions to flow where he see Beatrix hitting him, the symbol of the Source Dragon of Motion, Nokt breaking his golden dao sword, before allowing them to flow so he can use Rising Dragon.

The Shape of Motion

Lloyd tried to use his visions to try and locate the Shadow Dojo, but gets nowhere and sees Ras puts a control device on Nokt and the Wolf warriors sparring.

The Sword Shatters

While discussing possible suspects over the Arc Dragons attack, Lloyd gets a vision of Zeatrix using a sword that shatters.

Clues and Suspects

As Lloyd was still recovering from Zeatrix's attack, he sees Arin on the Wolf warriors' side and Zeatrix with the sword she used to knock him unconscious. The Source Dragon of Motion chases them away and obliterates the Blood Moon. She urges Lloyd to win his next fight, but he was force to withdraw due to his injuries.

Types of visions

Spirit smoke

Spirit smoke is a precognitive substance that appears to use incense sticks and ashes to manifest a cloud of pale gray smoke that projects images of danger in the near future.

The smoke was used by Master Wu to foresee coming events. Using the spirit smoke, he foresaw Lloyd's attack on Jamanakai Village with the Hypnobrai, as well as the Rise of the Great Devourer.

Zane's visions

Zane's visions are a product of his sixth sense and are often connected to his fears in some way. The Green Ninja vision involved his and the other ninja's fear of Garmadon returning for the Golden Weapons; his Titanium Dragon visions came from his fear of death; his transformation of the Ice Emperor, which was foretold in one of his visions, could be seen as a fulfillment of his fear of losing his humanity as revealed by the Mirror of Dread in "The Explorers Club."

It is unclear if this sense comes from his Nindroid abilities or his element—or is simply a separate ability.

Conduit visions

These visions are merely a small part of the Source Dragons' ability to foresee events before they happen, a result of a mortal acting as a conduit for the dragon energy of a Source Dragon. These visions depict potential outcomes of future events, offering glimpses into what may transpire, as evidenced by the discrepancies in Lloyd's visions of the Blood Moon Ritual, where Ras pushed Euphrasia into the Nether-Space instead of Kai as it actually happened.

Trivia

• When Zane tells all his previous visions to Jay in "Wasted True Potential," he wants to say one more that was before the vision of the Green Ninja, but that was the first. It's possible Zane had some visions before, or it's just for a joke.
• Zane states in "Child's Play" that Nindroids don't dream, even though he used the word dream in "Never Trust a Snake." However, his prophetic sights are not dreams, but rather, visions related to his sixth sense ability.
  • In "Versus," P.I.X.A.L. states "It's amazing you dream," though it was a vision, not a dream.
    • P.I.X.A.L. would later be shown dreaming in "A Cold Goodbye," which suggests she discovered the ability somewhere after the former episode. However, her dream was not prophetic like Zane's.
• In "The Day of the Dragon", Zane hallucinates the Titanium Dragon when he is awake.
• When asked if Zane's visions were a result of his time-displacement in the Never-Realm, Tommy Andreasen said, "NO SPOILERS!!!" He later stated that the question was too speculative.
• Upon being asked about Lloyd's vision of swords in the ground, headstones, and ninja masks, Chris "Doc" Wyatt posted a tweet hosting the hidden message "THIS VISION IS IMPORTANT. IT IS A LONG GAME."
