I am sure that I read that during the last temple dedication in Utard a few visions of Nephite warriors and sightings of Jesus himself were reported.
When I was on my Mission in Logan Ut I read a book about the "miracles" of the Logan Temple. It was 200 plus pages of bullshit about prophets, apostles, and the leadership in the temple seeing visions in the Temple. There were stories from the prophet and temple president swearing that the devil and all the host of hell had come right through the main street in cash valley with demons and weapons and chariots and they watched them with an army of unimaginable numbers marching right up the mountain to the Logan temple. Now that's a vision right there!!!! Puts Zina's angel on a rooftop vision in the newbie league. Of course, you are now able to hear or read about just about every Temple Presidents visions in Mormon folklore and publications. Google is your friend.
What do you see if you dedicate all you have emotionally, physically, and financially to a cause...?
You visualize everything in your mind and we do not see the world around us accurately anyway. Our brains can only interpret what we see with our eyes....and attempt to put together a story.
If you have 2 minutes watch this video for a demonstration of how our brain does this.

Athletes in training for extreem competition can recall amazing amounts of information and SEE the actual performance of the task they are about to attempt....this is called visualization. It is a powerfull tool of the mind to survive in an intense situation where you want to accomplish a goal.....or just want to survive.
If Joe had real talent he could have pulled off some magical stuff like this...
