You can believe that air, which is invisible, is real.
I don't have to believe that air is real.
Air - - Is It Really There?

By watching and performing several simple experiments, students develop an understanding of the properties of air: it has mass, it takes up space, it can move, it exerts pressure, it can do work.

If I'm interpreting that correctly you had some kind of subjective experience and believed it was the Christian God because that's what you expected to contact. You then started interpreting the Bible in relation to your experience.
You aren't the only Christian who has reported something like this. The problem is that Christians who had the same subjective experience still came up with different interpretations of the Bible even though they believed that God was helping them to understand what was written. If the Christian God really existed you'd think he'd make sure that all Christians came up with the same interpretation so there aren't thousands of different Christian denominations.
The Christian God isn't the only deity which people believe in. A modern pagan who worships The Goddess could have the same subjective experience. They would then interpret it as being The Goddess because that's what they expected to contact.

As I've reported several times in this forum, the Greek deity, Apollo, once appeared to me in a dream. He was a very powerful presence in the dream and I knew he was a god because of it. Going by what you've said in your post I should now believe he really does exist and start worshipping him.
