The question is whether the mashal of a nevu'ah can be theologically
impossible. Who is the Man in the Throne in par' Mishpatim? According to
R' Saadia Gaon's or the Rambam's mehalekh, where they can't say the Man
is an image representing HQBH, would allow for a nevu'ah to be expressed
as Rachel doing something impossible for her to do.
