Siman 93

(13.) Monday, the 24th of Iyar, 5570 [1810], in Uman: He told me a dream he had dreamed that night. And he saw in the dream that there was a wedding, and he too went to the wedding. And he knew the name of the groom. And he looked and saw there a person from the World to Come — that is, a dead person. And he was very astonished and said to himself: If the world should see him, there will be a very great uproar! And he also knew the name of this dead person. And he said that these names — of the groom and of the dead man — are not actual names but true names that hint at what they hint at, like all the holy names. Afterwards the world also saw the aforementioned dead man, and I spoke with them: Is he not a dead man? And they said: Even still — and it was no novelty for them at all. Afterwards it seemed good in my eyes to go to some synagogue from where it would be easier to look at the wedding. And I circled there [he indicated with his finger how he circled] and came to the synagogue. And they were singing there [at the wedding canopy location] for the groom in these words: <em class="yid">"Ayn bochor iz der — ayn chosson iz der" — "One youth is here, one groom is here." And I also knew the melody, and it was a pleasant, joyful melody. And I was looking from the aforementioned synagogue. Afterwards there too it did not seem good in my eyes, and I went home. And I came home and found that the groom was lying on the ground, and I shook him: Are they not singing for you so much etc., as stated — and you are lying here! (And the matters are very concealed. And afterwards Rabbainu o.b.m. said himself that it is a wonder that they were singing for him so much there, and here he is lying. And the matter is concealed and hidden very much.) And he said that in the dream it appeared to him that he had <span style="color:#b8a060; font-style:italic;" title="הַשְׁמָטָה">six synagogues</span> — and there were names in each of those places — and those very names he had known and forgotten. And I am uncertain whether it was about the melody that he said he had known and forgotten, or about those places and their names.
