Is it possible for Satan to appear in the form of angels in a dream, by analogy with his inability to appear in the form of the Prophet (peace be upon him)?

Some scholars have stated that Satan cannot assume the form of angels, and that seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a dream is a true vision, and Satan cannot impersonate him. This also applies to all prophets and angels. Seeing prophets is like seeing angels, except in matters of testimony.
