A few days before he was killed, Abraham Lincoln said that he was impressed by the number of prophetic dreams in the Bible.
When his wife asked him why he'd brought this up, Lincoln related a dream he just had:
He was wandering through the halls of the White House trying to find out where the sound of weeping people was coming from. His search led him to the East Room where he saw a coffin lying on a platform, guarded by soldiers and surrounded by a throng of mourners.
"Who is dead?" he asked in the dream.
"The president, killed by an assassin" was the answer.
The loud grieving sobs of mourners finally awoke Lincoln from the dream.
We all know the rest of the story... Lincoln was killed by an assassin's bullet a few days later.
