My oldest friend does. She seems to have some connection to God.
Not since the Pentecost.
I would speculate that yes, certain people do receive spiritual visions. Such phenomena are intensely personal and may remain untold to others, so as to avoid the skeptics.
I’m not speaking of manic delusions of disturbed minds.
Many people who were at one time declared medically ‘dead’ have said they received visions or profound communication.
Not all do. There is a great deal concerning the manner of our existence which remains undefined and unexplained.
The late Apostle Don Lyon (Rockford, IL) had a vision many years ago as he sat on the floor of his office and prayed. He found himself on the outside of the church and had grown to an enormous size. As he looked toward the city, he could see dark clouds over it with periodic flashes of light. He began walking towards the city, which didn’t take him long because of his enormous size. :)
Once he arrived, he looked down to see people in bondage - drug addicts, prostitutes, sinners... He picked them up with his hand and began to pray prayers of deliverance.
The more he prayed, the lighter the atmosphere became. Finally, the darkness was removed from the city. The vision was over.
The LORD gave him the interpretation of the vision.
The darkness over the city was sin. The flashes of light in the dark clouds were the prayers of the saints. His size was how the LORD saw him when he prayed.
Black democrats have a vision of sugarplums.
They visualize getting huge amounts of money via reparations.
But, in today’s world, anybody can be black, just like anybody can claim to be a woman or a man, even if they were born differently.
So, I have visions of sugarplums too.
All I know is that once nearly everyone had a HD quality camera with them at all times, reported sightings of Bigfoot have declined.
Yes. I’ve had dreams that were not just dreams. I have occasionally posted about them. If someone like me (I’m not anything special) can have them then they are being given.
Still, Scripture is to be preferred over any experience, point to it. Scripture is the word of God. Scripture is inspectable by anyone (where dreams and visions are not) and the word about the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, is sufficient to tell anyone how they can be saved from sin, that they ate commanded to be saved.
I’m satisfied with The Word.
God’s spirit works Thru That.
Nearly every vision of the prophets was given by God in a dream.
Zechariah 10:2
For the household gods utter nonsense, and the diviners see lies; they tell false dreams and give empty consolation. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.
Jeremiah 14:14
And the Lord said to me: โThe prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.
Micah 3:6
Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without divination. The sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.
Hebrews 1:1-2
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
This is a fascinating compilation of dreams and visions....

Technology isn’t implanted in the human brain yet. What could possibly make someone think GPS devices and smartphone screens would interfere with the ability to see visions?
Why would anyone need visions in this day? We had the Bible from beginning to end.

Expanded vision. See how easy it is to take and do that literally?
