It happens, but only a small percentage of the time. Jesus taught in parables, so the analogies of dreams were applied within his lessons. This works for some people but not everyone is able to grasp the meanings and not always in the first telling, somewhat like some jokes where they take a moment to get the drift of what was intended. I see value in a prophet, businessman, artist or scientist who can foresee. They hear the Creator, certainly more than those who do not pay attention.
Religion has enshrined prophets, then limits viewpoints regarding the beliefs they conveyed.
Those who follow a way to God are legion. Those who separate and isolate believers with emphasis on one person s variations of belief and political choices are at risk of offending the Creator. It would be a conflict of interest and likely the end of the prophet s ability to be an effective messenger. Some worthy prophets have fallen into this trap unwittingly by listening to non-prophets with theology behind them and no proven ability to foresee. Others are troubled with issues which are clearly dogma and if they are driven to find answers they may overlook what they are told when the answer they are getting is not what they wanted to hear.
