I presume you mean "the other visions"?
Most of them have featured the pastor - one was a comment about the Protestant position in general, including a reference to Purgatory. Another was a warning about a certain lady which included the comment "Watch out for (certain lady)." Then he added "Your father's paying for it, believe me!! You don't want to join him!" Then he repeated "Watch out for (certain lady)!"
I've said before ad infinitum that on the night my father died, he appeared in my room. We had an argument and conversation, at the end of which I think he went to hell, going by the final terrifying scream just before he disappeared again (and I haven't seen him since). So I presume that the pastor could now see his position, which was "He's paying for it, believe me!" My father was literally screaming his head off - it wasn't very pleasant.
Another was a sharp criticism - "You've had enough time to write half a dozen books by now!" So I'm not without fault.
Before he died, the pastor said to me, "I think I'll ask to see him" (my father, after he died himself. I think the pastor may have had cancer himself by this time). I think I had a vision where they met briefly. The pastor said to my father "You've been down there all that time, and you still haven't learnt anything!!" My father replied cynically, "What's there to learn? That I'm doomed!?"
Then the pastor just said "All, right, you can go back now." My father turned and then screamed, and disappeared again.
On another occasion, Someone (God? Christ?) seemed to say to the pastor about me, "He doesn't trust me!!" To which the pastor replied, "Well, now that you've shown me all this, I don't blame him!! You expect him to do all these things, and you treat him like this!"
He got into trouble over that, and the next thing I knew he turned up looking rather 'burnt' and frazzled, and blurted out, "I stuck up for you!" (against God I suppose).
And that's about it. I can't think of too many others regarding the pastor since he died. In every case he just says what he's going to say, and then promptly disappears.
I've also had other spiritual experiences when I've been wide awake incidentally, including three "double whammies", which is like a breath going through you in waves from head to foot, very strong, very pronounced, and it sure doesn't come from you. In my case it was used every time to highlight a specific phrase someone else was saying. I nearly fell off the chair the first time it happened I got such a shock.
1. " A man after my own heart" (when I was new Christian in discouraging circumstances).
2. ".. a little man of great insight and wisdom .. " referring to Saint Paul.
3. "... an intellectual ministry that went around the world ..." referring to CS Lewis.
They were mentioned in sermons, once by a Bible Study leader at what we call a Scripture Union Beach Mission, and the other two times in the Presbyterian Church by the pastor, all within a few months of each other. I've heard hundreds of sermons, and I've forgotten 99% of them, but I remember those three verses specifically because of what happened at the time. And it hasn't happened since.
"Double Whammies" is the psychiatrist's term as he's experienced it himself - I think in his case he was running around an oval at the time when he was young, mulling over whether to become Catholic, and the "double whammy" hit him, indicating he should become Catholic.
We're both converts from Protestantism.
It's these common spiritual experiences that motivate me to continue to see him. He's told me about a few of his too.
That will do for now.

After Thought - I mentioned the three "double whammies" above, as per
I think it was God, or a guardian angel, one or the other.
Let's suppose it was a six month gap between first and last "double whammy". According to an article in Scientific American, the earth is moving at "with respect to the CBR (Cosmic Background Radiation) at a speed of 390 kilometers per second."
So in six months the distance would be 390 x 3600 x 24 x 183 kms, which translates to 6,166,368,000 or a bit over 6 billion kilometres through space.
Yet this hidden spiritual being (either Divine or angelic) knew precisely where to find me on three separate occasions, what was about to be said by the speaker before I'd even heard it, and then highlight each message for me in a way that could not be perceived by other people (the only way they'd know would be if I told them about it), while I was moving through space at about 390 kms per second, while the spiritual source itself was not bound to earth by gravity, for the simple reason it was spiritual.
Which is why I don't find it very difficult to believe God intervenes in the affairs of men in a very subtle way sometimes.

After thought 2 - Nothing to do with the topic, but the "390" stirred a memory. I was driving a cab part time for a few years. At one time I picked up a bloke who worked for the Airport Corporation (if that's the right name). But he said he used to work for Virgin Australia.
We got talking about expenses, and he said he and another chap sat down once and worked out the whole of cost of flying a 737 aircraft was $300 per minute for the life of the aircraft. The "390" prompted my memory of the "300".
No wonder Virgin Australia went into administration when the Coronavirus hit, and they couldn't keep flying.
