The Lord uses imperfect vessels, therefore prophecies do not necessarily come out on perfect English.
To a degree, the human nature of the prophet always colours the result.
For those who insist that all prophecy must sound like God speaking, with perfect language and syntax etc, just go back and read your bibles. How come the books of the bible reveal such differences of each writer's character, when there is only one author?
The only way to check prophecy is by spiritual discernment, not academic perfection.
If you recall, the disciples were dismissed as unlearned fishermen, yet they turned the world upside down.
The OP dream is a warning of prophetic ministries which are far more concerned about appearances than spiritual accuracy.
I have seen this before when words have been given from the floor, and then the minister in charge has quickly taken the word and manipulated it to match their own agenda. The prophets in the midst can see it, but the general congregation are too in awe of the ministers power to notice.
The answer is that instead of relying on celebrity ministries, all believers should seek to move in the gifts. That way the church as a whole will move into maturity.
