An orb shadow was a vision that affected people who had had experiences with the orbs of the Prophets. They could occur a very long time after the orb experience, and were said to happen when that person was going against the will of the Prophets, to set them back on the path. Medically, they could be described as hallucinations caused by an excess of neuropeptides in the person's system. Benjamin Sisko experienced an orb shadow in 2372, some three years after his first orb experience. Former Kai Opaka appeared in this vision. (DS9: "Accession")

- An orb shadow is a hallucination or vision that people experience after using the Orbs of the Prophets. In Bajoran tradition, orb shadows occur if a person ignores what the Prophets told them during their orb experience. In 2372, Benjamin Sisko had several orb shadows in which Opaka Sulan told him he was the true Emissary of the Prophets after he stood down in favor of Akorem Laan. (DS9 episode: "Accession") In 2376, after the destruction of Sidau, Sisko began experiencing visions like orb shadows, although they related to the future. (DS9 novel: Warpath)
