You've made it rather clear that you have no regard for the dreams and prophesies of people in the modern age. And that's fine. But others find these visions to be interesting if not compelling in anticipation of the Lord's second coming (Acts 2:16-21).
As for me, I choose to keep an open Spiritual ear. Much of what I hear is empty, as if a sympathetic contrivance. But sometimes - now and again - a dream or prophesy rings true in me. Usually they have to do with impressions of Jesus. Rarely do they have to do with future events.
I will share with you one of my own. We were in discussion here on the forum concerning the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice at Calvary. I was in deep worship and meditation and was overcome with an impression, something that I would have brought to canvas if I were an artist. It was a Light, His Light, at the moment He gave up the Spirit. The Light transcended everything and everywhere and every time. And there bubbles, innumerable tiny bubbles rising from the darkness and disappearing into the Light.
It was a "dream" or perhaps a "prophesy" or a "vision" - and it certainly was not Scriptural. But it was real and it is Truth, an image of our being drawn into Him because of what He has done.
Sounds like the touching confirmations and revelations of the God Almighty that I know

whom I know God loves to bless with more of Himself and more understanding about Himself.
No trouble at all believing in your dream/vision/whatever.

Acts 2:15-21 is not speaking of the second coming. Peter was plainly saying that what was happening on that Pentecost day was the fulfillment of the Joel prophecy. "But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:" Peter was declaring the reality of the "last days" at that time. Cf. Heb. 1:2; 1 John 2:18.

Truth is objective, not subjective. There is not one truth for you and another truth for me. I don't know what you experienced, but I don't think it can be classified as truth, at least not how God's truth is presented in Scripture. What you experienced could be the experience of a Hindu mystic or native American shaman. Such is the difficulty with personal experiences.
