Faqir Chand - Inner Visions

Faqir Chand has an interesting approach to where the inner visions, dreams, and deep sleep modes of consciousness come from, that is that they are from within our own minds and they are unreal. I have thought much about his comments to try to better understand what it is he is saying exactly. He also says that "whosoever remembers God in whatever form, in that very form he has helped his devotee". I wonder how it is that in one of these visions the future can be predicted in detail. There have been many such visions and dreams which have revealed truths to others to encourage them, help them, or even save them from a fatal mistake, as was the case with Faqir Chand's vision from his guru. I must hear more on his take on this subject, but from what I have gotten from this video and the other information we have read and seen about him it doesn't answer some of the evidence that calls for explanations. I wonder why a former pastor of mine could have a dream that two members of the church (of around 5000 people) were going to have twins, and they did. Or why Faqir Chand received a vision from about the future which saved his life and many others.
When I compare these events with his statement about remembering God in whatever form, it leads me to think he is saying that God helps us his devotees through whatever form the vision or dream comes to us. If I am not mistaken he is saying that he, Faqir Chand, didn't appear to them, but rather God spoke to his devotees through a vision of Faqir Chand. If that is the case, if I have understood him correctly, Faqir Chand is a very wise and humble man. He could have used these visions for his personal well-being materially or otherwise, but instead he sought to find the truth in these visions and the truth led him to a better well-being.
