This is really interesting. If you would like to know more about Islam from the Muslim side this site will help. Take a look at the live fatwa section. People write in questions and they are answered by imam. Really fascinating here's an example:

Question As-Salamu `alaykum, I would like to know the significance of seeing prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in a person's dream and what should that person do about it? Should he get his dream interpreted? Does she need to do any special thing (like offering special prayers or feeding the poor)? Jazaka Allahu khairan.

Answer Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.


Dear in Islam, thanks for your question.

In fact, seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a vision/dream is a hope that most Muslims wish to have. One who sees the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream or vision has seen the Prophet himself in this vision, for Satan cannot appear in the shape of the Prophet as stated in a Prophetic hadith.

As for the interpretation of the dreams, including those in which a person sees the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it differs from one case to another.. Therefore, you may contact a reliable local Muslim scholar and tell him about your vision so that he may be able to give you some conclusions based on your own conditions and circumstances.

Allah Almighty knows best.

Quote: "One who sees the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream or vision has seen the Prophet himself in this vision, for Satan cannot appear in the shape of the Prophet as stated in a Prophetic hadith. "

Looks like the Koran covered all the bases, from a Christian perspective we would say there is indeed deception going on.
