Copilot In APA 7 format, personal experiences like a vision you had are considered personal communications. Since personal communications are not recoverable data, they are not included in the reference list but can be cited in the text. To cite your vision, you would include your initials and surname, along with the phrase “personal communication,” and the date of the experience. Here’s an example of how you might cite it:

Narrative citation: J. Doe (personal communication, May 29, 2024)
