Encounter Of Hadhrat Maryam (as) With The Angels
Your question was about angels. This is a second query whether one can see the prophet in dreams or not. Yes, there is a possibility of seeing the prophet in dreams but one cannot be sure that the person he is seeing is actually the prophet as no one knows what he looked like. since true dreams are possible one may hope to see the actual person of the prophet in one’s dreams. This is not seeing Ghaib or unseen. Ibn Arabi’s suggestion is against God’s scheme. Exceptional cases do not provide the basis for generalization.
