Explaining prophetic visions

Hi,

"The Rambam (Moreh haNevuchim 3:43) has already explained that prophets see things which are familiar to them, which reflect the name of the item they are meant to see, whether by analogy or by shared name. It is as though the imagination is showing them something with a shared name."

(R' Isaac Abarbanel to Zecharyah 5, pg. 213)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
