I've seen elves in dreams. Does that count?
Honestly, I do respect these ideals. I do not believe I would ever physically see elves, but there are occasions when I believe that, because of Tolkein's influence on me, I see different aspects of his books relating to my mood or an event in my life. It's not actually seen by me, of course, but thinking I see them is very helpful.
