It’s a bit confusing, but seems in ways to support the idea that Gandalf could indeed have produced the visions.
If I remember correctly, Olorin used to walk among elves unseen(=not clothed in a bodily form). As Gandalf, he becomes complete incarnate, and, obviously, is less potent in creating visions (if he still retains such power, for what there is small evidence, if any) (is shaft of light in Theoden's hall a vision?). And , after all, word among must be underlined - even as a pure spirit Olorin needed to be near those whom he enchanted with his visions.


...less doth yearning trouble him who knoweth many songs, or with his hands can touch the harp - his possesion is his gift of glee which God gave him...
