Visions And Dreams and the Spirit of Prophecy

God tells us that in the last days, as His Holy Spirit is poured upon us, there will be those among us that will have visions and dreams and prophesy.

Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Rev 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
