Is this a vision of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Once again, I felt as if I had seen the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but I do not know. The important thing is that I felt as if I was in a whirlpool, then I heard the adhan and heard people saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was coming. I started running, and while I was running toward this door on my right, when I reached the door, I fell face down on my back. I tried to get up but could not, so I turned to my right and saw a man coming out wearing a beige shirt and black trousers. His hair was black, curly, and thick. I thought he was the Messenger, may Allah know best, so he extended his hand and pulled me up. When he pulled me up, I woke up; I had been sleeping on the ground, so I woke up standing and said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." So, regarding the description of the attributes of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), does it mean that if I describe to you what I saw of this man I saw in the dream, it could be him? He had thick hair, but not... large, wide, or long. His complexion was brownish, not dark brown, meaning slightly darker than me, but not as dark as the people of Saudi Arabia, for example. I am lighter than them and slightly darker than myself.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner: The face, well, you could see light emanating from it. He was neither thin nor fat. He was slightly taller than me and had a straight posture?

The Shaykh: Some of these descriptions apply to the characteristics and attributes of the Messenger (peace be upon him), while others do not.
The student: May Allah reward you with good. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The student : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

The Shaykh: And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. In the safety of Allah.
The student: Shaykh, some of it...

The Shaykh: Yes, indeed. First, he had a white complexion, although this is rare among the Arabs. He had a white complexion with rosy cheeks, and as I said, he was neither tall nor short, but he did not have curly hair; rather, he had straight hair... meaning smooth. Also, he is not known to have worn a turban, but rather he would wear an izar (waist cloth). In any case, we are concerned with your state of wakefulness, not your dream. Your wakefulness, and praise be to Allah, is upon Islam. This is what is important. You have believed in Allah and His Messenger, and this is a favor from Allah upon you.
The student : Praise be to Allah.
