A vision quest is a rite of passage of many Native American cultures (says so in wikipedia). The subject, usually a child, travels into the wilderness and through isolation and deprivation becomes attuned to the spirit world. At this point a spirit guardian animal will present itself in a dream or vision and the child's life direction will be revealed. I think this sounds awesome. Get in touch with nature. Get a little direction. Put things in perspective. I'm just afraid the spirit guide animal woud turn out to be something like this...
