The first 2 days in the wilderness next to the Trinity River in Northern California my mind screamed at me: "You're going to die! This is Crazy! What are you doing!" However, being self disciplined I persevered by the 2nd night I started to have really amazing visions (which is why you are doing the vision quest in the first place).
A four day vision quest in the wilderness is the first 4 days of what it is like to starve to death I guess except you are choosing to do this so God can show you what is next in your life.
So, any altered state you are going into has NOTHING at all to do with any drugs or alcohol because you are ONLY not eating and not drinking anything for 4 days or 96 hours.
So, you can call this 4 days of starvation with no water while praying all the time I guess.
But, things can happen that wouldn't happen to you in a normal state of mind. You are in what many would call a very SPIRITUAL place.
What I experienced was that human beings are much more and also much less than what most people think. I also saw how close people really are to all wild creatures even to things like hornets.
Just because we live in houses or apartments doesn't mean really we are that separated from everything that lives in the wilds of the world.
And this is the most important thing that doing this taught me. Humans are amazing! More amazing than you presently think! But, they are also more vulnerable than most people think too.
So, those 4 days changed my opinion in an extreme way of how I see human beings ever after that in a very wise and good Way!
By God's Grace
