He said they were very bright with light emanating from them, but were visibly naked as well. Not a dream he wrote down since it didn't involve a message to be given publicly. Just one he related verbally. It may be the term "robe of light" is just a term to satisfy the minds of those who can't imagine wearing nothing opaque. God doesn't shock people with things that they can't handle, he words things in a way that they will receive it.
When we are in our resurrection bodies and these bodies are not draped in fabric, we won't be naked in the negative sense of the word.
We won't lack for warmth.
Our skin will not be vulnerable to abrasions.
We won't be mocked.
In that sense we won't be naked.
But it would be a stretch to claim that our bodies, God's greatest creation and now perfected in glory, would be hidden from view.
It is true that some people can't handle this truth, but we won't feel the need for covering, whether of fabric or light.
God's righteousness is sufficient and quite frankly will be all we have "covering" us.

Her visions were given in such a way as to rule out human source. Which leaves only two other sources, God or the devil. The content of what she wrote rules out the devil as it's source.
I would not insist that Satan sent her the visions, many times people sincerely proclaim things from their own imagination that contradict scripture.
Here are some alternative views on this woman and her "prophecies":
