Lincoln's Dreams

The way the dreams add depth to Lincoln's character is fascinating. I'm curious whether this was inspired by actual historical accounts or purely fictional imagination.

The surreal nature of the dreams really amplified the emotional stakes. I wonder if others found them to be a reflection of his subconscious or a narrative device.

The historical setting adds so much tension and weight to the dreams. I'm interested in what drew the author to this particular period and how it influenced the story.
