Having a vision of someone who died is a pretty good bit of evidence they're still dead. The Early Church claimed Jesus was alive again.
The above two statements are false, historically. Paul, and Jews like him, would have no problem whatsoever seeing a phantasm of Jesus while believing at the same time that Jesus' corpse was buried in some grave.
