>Christians believed in them enough to depict them as is
Because its great imagery and inspires artists to this very day.
>As for it not happening yet that is irrelevant,
Not really, we know the events will come but the exact nature is descriptive and is from the limited mind of the man who saw it. The Muslims think everything is literal and physical, there is no other possibility allowed or even thought about.
>you have many fantastical beasts in the bible
Its an ancient book of many meanings, most of the messages aren't literal descriptions. The oldest parts were first written between 2200 to 3400 years ago. The "youngest"(New Testament of Jesus Christ) were written 2000 years ago as the successor to the now extinct second temple Judaism, the New Covenant was signed with Christ's blood and His "Christians" became the Chosen of God.
The Bible in its fullness is 31,200 verses long spread across 73 books and over 810,000 words(Modern English) which comprises history,philosophy, deep meaningful quotes, poetry,songs and true spirituality through the words of Jesus Christ, Son of God, the Word made Flesh and King of Kings. Nothing comes close to its scale or meaning.
>Some muslims also hold the opinion that it was a dream btw
Some being the operative word. Most do not think that because if they did, the hilarious and false occupation claim to the Temple Mount(a site only holy to Jews and Christians) is non existent and you're screwed because the only reason you claim it is because the funny flying lion creature was tethered to it when Muhammad allegedly visited the mount.
