Ever dream of the JFKA?

[Lance Payette]

This is Episode 1 of a new feature, "Weird thread of the week." All suggestions are welcome.

When I was heavily involved in Christian theology and apologetics, it occurred to me that I had NEVER had a dream that was even vaguely biblical, let alone a visitation by Jesus or Mary or anything like that. NOTHING. I posted the question on several evangelical forums and people were in near-unanimous agreement that, by God, they too had never had a dream relating to this central theme of their waking lives.

Golf, I have to admit, is probably the central theme of my waking life since the age of 12. Only in recent years, however, have I started having some pretty vivid golf dreams. When Carl Jung, the famed Swiss psychologist, was ill with a terminal illness, he was amazed that he had absolutely no dreams relating to death or his own mortality; it was one of the things that convinced him bodily death was "no big deal" to his core self.

So, JFKA fanatics, enquiring minds wonder if you have ever had any sort of JFKA-related dreams? (Dreams in which Jedgar and Clyde Tolson are doing weird things with inflatable dolls do not count; we would like something a little more directly related if possible.) If you have had no such dreams, don't you find this a bit odd? Bonus points for JFKA-related dreams in which Jesus appeared.

I can't think of one time in 62 years that the JFKA has showed up in one of my dreams.

Considering the things we do dream about - some girl I had a crush on in third grade and haven't given a conscious thought to in 50+ years - doesn't this seem a bit odd? Maybe the JFKA never happened and this forum is in fact a dream nightmare?

I don't know who is responsible for my dream content so have no idea how he/she arrives at the selections.

Excellent! I actually am convinced that our dream life - or at least mine - is a major and vastly underappreciated clue to the very nature of reality and What It's All About. The absence of Jesus and Jedgar and both Harvey and Lee should perhaps tell us that what we spend most of our waking lives focusing on is actually pretty close to Completely Unimportant. The programmer of your dream content is the Cosmic You who far transcends the LN zealot who thinks the SBT is Really Important Stuff.

The SBT isn't the Important Stuff. It's the Right Stuff.

Many, many times I have had dreams about the assassination.  I've lost count.
The ones that were really weird stick out more than others. 

I don't know how many researchers I have asked over the years if they've ever had a dream about it, and not one ever said yes.

 One of the weirdest was when I was when I dreamt I worked at the TSBD and Oswald worked there. We never spoke to each other or anything like that. He was just there.
Somehow, the motorcade was coming, and I was in a position inside the depository where I was looking up from below Oswald as he was at the 6th floor window waiting for the motorcade to come by, and I'm sitting or standing there watching him with the rifle pointed out the window.  The motorcade drives by, he fired shots, but I didn't see the limousine in the dream, so I didn't know if he struck JFK or not.  The focus in the dream was watching Oswald fire the rifle.  Then I woke up.
