Sure they are both possible. The definitions for both are actually different. Inflation/dis-inflation are monetary terms in regards to how much currency is needed/produced. You could have inflation as too many worthless dollars are in circulation driving up prices of physical goods.

Deflation is more in regards to GDP and it going negative. Thus we could have inflation in prices while GDP growth goes negative.

Good Luck,

Lee
