"Guilt is a thing. When people grow up in an inherently Christian culture and feel negatively about their lack of belief…they experience hallucinations, stressful episodes and dreams of characters like Jesus."
Your question presupposes that these people grew up in a Christian culture and feel negatively about their lack of belief.
Most of them don't.
The first story, Greg's, is the direct opposite of your assumption.
He didn't grow up Christian. He had never opened a Bible before.
He was surprised to find the contents of his dream spelled out in the Bible.
He doesn't refer to guilt at any point.
Rather, it seems that Jesus revealed Himself to Greg in a dream, and gave Greg a way to verify that what he saw was real, instead of normal dreamish ramblings.
