But I think visions were never met to be anyones primary power, they were just a form of communication. I had proposed that perhaps they were a form of nacent demon telepathy.
The dreams Webber and Scott had were definitely communications, but they were so dissimilar to what Sam and Ava experienced (direct communication with the YED, who made promises that were both welcome and ominous vs. somewhat disjointed visions of danger that didn't have the YED in them at all) that I wonder if they came from the same source.
I like the idea that it's more angelic and used to warn the person of immient danger. But that would mean Azazel deliberately sought out children with powers to corrupt rather than being the one who gave them the powers.
It's not necessarily true that people who get divine dreams of warning are gifted with powers (in the Bible, the story of the Nativity ends with Joseph - and ordinary, if righteous, man - receiving a warning in a dream to take Mary and baby Jesus into exile in Egypt before King Herod has every infant boy in Bethlehem slaughtered). The show, however, has hinted that there is something special about the kids Azazel picked - in Salvation, Monica told Sam that sometimes it seemed like baby Rosie could read people's minds. I like that, actually, because it shows that a demon can't truly give people anything but only corrupt what's already there.
