Abraham Lincoln knew he was going to die.

Abraham Lincoln dreamed of being shot , 3 nights in a row, before he was assassinated.

The third dream he had only 10 days before he died.

He dreamed of "the subdued sobs of mourners” and a corpse lying on a catafalque in the White House.

In the dream, Lincoln asked a soldier standing guard

“Who is dead in the White House?”

The soldier replied, “the President, he was killed by an assassin.”

His bodyguard told him to stay home on the night of his assassination.

Obviously he didn't listen.
