Are Rebbe Dreams really the Rebbe coming to you?
Although in general we don’t give dreams much significance these days, a dream in which a person sees a Tzadik and certainly in which a Chosid sees the Rebbe, is telling. The Friediker Rebbe related that chasidim traditionally made a celebration (farbrengen) after seeing the Rebbe in a dream. I suggest you discuss the dream with your Mashpia.
The Gemara says: one who sees Dovid in a dream should anticipate chasidus (piety), (one who sees) Shlomo should anticipate wisdom . . One who sees Rebbi (Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi) in a dream should anticipate wisdom, (one who sees) Rabbi Elazar ben Azarya should anticipate wealth . . One who sees Ben Azzai in a dream should anticipate piety, (one who sees) Ben Zoma should anticipate wisdom.
The Rebbe once related in the name of the Friediker Rebbe:
The Chosid Reb Zalman Zaltopolski, who was a Chosid of the Rebbe Maharash, had a strong longing to see the Rebbe Maharash after his Histalkus, and he consulted with the Rebbe Rashab about it. And at last – after following many preparations which the Rebbe Rashab instructed him to do, including sleeping with a Gartel, the Rebbe Maharash came to him in a dream.
The Rebbe explained: here was a chosid from previous generations, who worked hard to have this zechus, and now there is a young man who was involved in a not good thing and the Frierdiker Rebbe devoted himself to help him, to the extent that he came to him in a dream… this young man should consider where he is pulling the Rebbe into – his own mud (filth)…
While it is unclear what exactly the Rebbe is referring to, the zechus of seeing the Rebbe in a dream is quite clear, as well as the severity of seeing the rebbe due to negative behavior.
The Rebbe himself once interpreted a dream in which a women saw him telling her “nuts, nuts” (אגוזים אגוזים), that the Yidden are compared to nuts.
