What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Musayof Synagogue’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

We debated it at length, until we reached the matter of ruling on Jewish law based on dreams and the issue of the deceased appearing while awake—that was the last lesson, about righteous people appearing while awake and whether one can fulfill an obligation through it or not. There was a great deal of editing there. So I truly thought to finish the topic and move on to another. But I remembered that the main thing was missing from the book. We spoke about the deceased appearing while awake, and we forgot about the matter of the deceased appearing in a dream, not while awake. For this, there are many sources in the Sages, the Rishonim, and the Acharonim, regarding a deceased person who appears to their relatives, or to their students, or to one of the great figures of Israel, for their own personal benefit: sometimes they want them to pray for them or do things to benefit them; sometimes they appear for the benefit of others, for the benefit of the community, or for the need of that specific person they appear to, or for their household members—all sorts of reasons why they come and appear in a dream. So this lesson, truthfully, does not have so many practical legal implications, but "expound and receive reward." We will bring a few sources and a few stories,
