A detailed prophetic dream that was verified would probably convince the person having the experience that at least something beyond our current comprehension had occurred. If they documented the experience and events carefully, others might find it convincing as well. It would take something like Jehanne is proposing to establish it scentifically.

The problem is always connecting the evidence to the proposed explanation. What specifically about such a phenomena requires all the properties attributed to the Christian god? There's a massive disconnect in the belief that if you can evidence one aspect of your chosen god, then you're free to just assume the whole truckload of characteristics. Evidence of any god like the Christian god would require so much evidence that making a cogent case is a tall feat. And Hume's objection to miracles is always lurking in the background to remind us that however fantastic the event, there's always an explanation that doesn't rely on the supernatural. In this case, it would likely be more probable that you are dealing with a time traveling neuroscientist from the future than that you are dealing with an omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, and omnipresent god.
