I'm sorry to hear about the miscarriages.
This is not evidence of anything as far as I'm concerned. Even if the dreams (and lack of) all happened as described it would not be significant. But we don't even know what has been lost in the reporting process (not necessarily intentionally).
How did she even know it was "Mother Mary"? No one knows what she looked like. She was clearly comparing it to what she expected her to look like, which is exactly how her brain created the image.
Even if something "supernatural" happened here, there's no way to tell what and where; or to distinguish it from any other similar accounts where nothing supernatural happened.
(If we assume it really was Christian magical figures at work here, what did they really do? Or rather, why did they sit around and allow miscarriages?)
