HH this is a post from a while back which I wrote in Hebrew and now Nissim did us a huge kindness to translate it into English, may HY bless him for all his work translating Rabbainu.
CM = Chayay Moharan - The Life of our Master Rabbi Nachman
[CM #93, see there.]
And behold, further on in CM #197 Rabbi Nathan brings a long conversation of Rabbeinu from where this dream [CM #93] is drawn. Because earlier Rabbeinu said how he wishes to cast off worldly [leadership] and not be involved in drawing people [to H' and the True Tzadik], and goes on to reveal the main service [of H'] is in one's free choice, knowing what to choose, and regarding this he was troubled how to choose, whether to be involved mainly in helping the live or the dead. And from there Rabbeinu went on to reveal his opting to be in Uman and to be buried there, and then he told this dream.
Clearly there is is great support to say this dream is highly connected to his place of burial and the aforementioned matters. And maybe we can say the synagogue is the aspect of Eretz Yisrael, and there in EY Rabbeinu is revealed by his new name, Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman, and this is an existential name that refers to exactly what it names, not just a regular "proper name." And after his burial his "Dear Student" too was essentially at the wedding in Uman, but people started asserting that the two of them are one, "This is one young man, this is the selfsame groom!" And he [z"l] felt it better to view the wedding from there in EY, however in the end he decided not, and behold Rabbeinu still remains lying in Uman. And that's not all, for there are more matters in the dream, for the essence of Rabbeinu's dream, and of all our [dream], is to bring the Tziun to EY, Soon in our days Amen. We need to still look into this a great deal, and I have only written to open this idea.
