Vision

Vision = (i) an idea or picture formed by imagination: ‘This romantic vision of a world without war is far off reality.’ (ii) the ability to see; visual faculty: ‘The owls have perfect night vision.’ (iii) the ability of great perception; foresight: ‘He is a man of vision.’ (iv) a religious or mystical experience of a supernatural appearance: ‘The idea came to me in a vision.’

View = the way you think about something that exists now: ‘This report sets out the views of our members very clearly.’ ‘At that time there was a widely held view that fascism was not a threat to Europe.’
