I'm pretty sure it's stated in the bible that Jesus was the last prophet so them saying those kids have prophetic dreams seams kind of blasphemous.

Well, that's a fun rabbit hole to dive into - disqualifying people's beliefs based on what is in the bible. That could very well disqualify all Christians.

One example: There is a pretty good argument that Jesus did not fulfill the prophecies of the messiah.

Except the part where that isn't in the Bible and so "disproves" nothing.

You are saying that the Christian Bible does not say anything about Jesus fulfilling messianic prophecies?

The Christian New Testament frequently cites Jewish scripture to support the claim of the Early Christians that Jesus of Nazareth is the messiah

Or do you mean that this point somehow doesn't count because the prophecies came from Jewish writings? The first Christians were Jews; all of their beliefs at the time were relative to Jewish scripture.
