Why You Keep Having Same Dream?

On April 11, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln sat down with his friend and bodyguard, Ward Hill Lamon, feeling somber. He confided in Lamon about a troubling dream he had recently. In the dream, he saw a corpse lying on a catafalque in the East Room of the White House, surrounded by mourning individuals. When he inquired about the identity of the deceased, a soldier informed him that it was the President, killed by an assassin. Tragically, a few days later, while attending the play "Our American Cousin" at Ford's theater, Lincoln was shot by an assassin and passed away the following day.
