When Calvin Coolidge Invades Dreamland

It was not a good ending for Calvin Coolidge. In my dream the 30th President of the United States did not have a good ending. He was assassinated. In my dream, that is. Not in real life. This was a dream. Only a dream.

I don't know how this former President got into my dreamlife. I hadn't been reading about Presidents. I don't remember reading or hearing his name in recent weeks. What could have prompted this dream?

As I said...in the dream CC was assassinated. And I had the task of appearing on a famous news network and giving an "economic report" subsequent to the assassination. I am not an economist. But for some weird reason they wanted MY opinion. Fancy that! In real life I would have laughed my fool head off if anyone asked me to do something such as this! But in my dream I just felt obligated to the request. Who was I to argue with such important people!

Kevin Costner (yes, he of Hollywood fame) was involved in this outlandish dream, too. He was to appear on that same news network. His task was to report the hows, whys and whats of the aforementioned assassination.

We were both nervous, very nervous, about our upcoming interviews. I'm sure Costner would have given an informed and credible interview. As for mine? I don't remember a thing I was supposed to say. Probably good thing, for if I did, I would write it all down here for you to read. It would have been incredibly boring.

I haven't a clue whether they caught the villain. He/she never showed up in my dream.

P.S. President Coolidge died of a heart attack at age 60. Too young in my estimation.

Wow! Your dreams rival those of mine - maybe even surpass them!

Now, that's an interesting dream. Did you watch a movie about CC? Or hear a reference? Or see Kevin Costner in something? Interesting how your mind gathers little nuggets of things and turns them into a dream.

It's kind of weird how certain people enter our dreams. Nice post and really interesting.

White Stone,

Wow, how funny to dream of old presidents. :) You would like our family's history timeline. We have been putting in little card photos and stats for the various presidents.

Have a great week.

My suspicions about you are hereby confirmed! Yer a nut!

Was reading your previous posts and feeling ashamed for my trivial complaints and worries. I adore your attitude and want it to be my own. In everything, give thanks. I want this to be written on my clothes somewhere or across the tv screen....

I love you. I'm praying for you.

Hello my friend~Just to answer your question at my blog~yes, I did write the letter-I'm so glad you liked it. I have so many real letters that are quite old, it was not much of a strech to make one up...
