Abraham Lincoln's Dream


Just a few days before his assassination on April 14, 1865, Lincoln told of a dream he had. 

In it, he walked into the East Room of the White House to find a covered corpse guarded by soldiers and surrounded by a crowd of mourners. 

When Lincoln asked one of the soldiers who had died, the soldier replied, “The president. He was killed by an assassin.” 

Lincoln insisted that the body on display was not his own - so he himself did not view the dream as a portent of his own demise.
