If you are continually deprived of sleep and/or dreams, you will start to dream when awake. You will in fact have 'visions' (I hate to mention it but there was a Star Trek episode with a similar story line.)
Similarly, if deprived of sleep, when you eventually sleep it is apparently quite common to have 'religious experience' dreams. I had this once having broken my arm but I was unable to get to a hospital. Having been awake and in considerable pain for 48 hours, when they eventually put me under the anaesthetic I immediately had a very vivid dream of meeting god.
When I woke up, I thought what an interesting phenomena it was. It is easy to see some people believing that their dream was a 'revelation'.
