Dans les fantaisies premieres? initial visions Explanation: I assume this person is initially experiencing some sort of hallucinatory vision accompanied by a feeling of physical "high". Then something else follows, whatever that is. |

primal or primary fantasies Explanation: Agree that we need to know more about the context and what the "il" is, but it reads to me like a reference to something like the "primal" or "primary" fantasies in psychoanalysis - fantasies that are structural or anthropological rather than related to the individual. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2014-01-01 02:36:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Patrick is right that in French, this would not normally be "fantaisie" but rather "fantasme". |

In the first visualizations Explanation: This seems to be referring to an esoteric hermetic meditation practice, involving visualization of certain places/states - in this case, a magic garden-like scenario. |
