What Can You Say About Visions of Jesus In Our Times?

There are people reporting about seeing the Lord Jesus in dreams and visions who then claim to have believed in Him as a result of it. What does the Bible have to say about it?

Joh 20:29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

The normative experience of Christians during the time of the apostles after the Lord ascended into heaven even when visions were still given as a part of God's continuing revelation back then was something like this:

 Joh 16:16 "A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father."

1Pe 1:8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
