There is abundance of dreams and revelations in Acts, while in the Gospels only Joseph (!) has revelations of that kind, and not even that in Mark.
The author of Acts is really merging the Pauline tradition filled of dreams, visions, revelations as the only guide to the action of the apostles, and the Gospel tradition about the man Jesus, notoriously without dreams, visions, revelations.
Basically,the problem is: why should we wait until Acts to see Paul explicitly co-opted by the Gospel tradition?
This makes me wonder if Mark (and the his editors) knew really the epistles of Paul.

I mean: visions, revelations and dreams that guide the followers of Jesus, not the Romans.arnoldo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 5:33 pmSee Matthew 27:19

In that sense, there are not visions, revelations and dreams in the gospels.
