Rambam vs. Ramban: Was Yaakov's encounter with this man "real"?

Was Yaakov's encounter with this man "real"?

• Rambam: This happens as a Nevuah or a dream. The reason it doesn't state that it is a Nevuah is because it is implies that whenever a person encounters with G-d it is through a Nevuah or a dream. It is not possible to touch an angel. This is not a real event.
• Ramban: Ramban thinks that it is not a Nevuah, it was some sort of physical encounter with Hashem. Yaakov woke up/ when it became morning Yaakov had a limp. Yaakov also said he spoke to G-d face to face. This is a real event. A Malach took a physical form and fought with Yaakov.

We also get an opinion from Abravanel: Sometimes if we imagine we went through a vision we could feel the pain. Yaakov went through this tramatic experience and he could have woken up with pain from this experience.
