TB9, I see a lot of old images (dates me, I guess), but my consistent take on the older images (I feel, anyway) is the near-constant feeling in these dreams that this was being used as a 'baseline' for a 'more innocent age', a 'more wholesome time', and as such, I think that is why it is (at least, to me) being presented in such manner by the forces that exist.
For the younger readers, keep in mind, that the 'Eisenhower Era' and up until Kennedy's death was considered 'the true American Golden Years'...even to the point that songs like "Miss American Pie" by the likes of Don McClain realized and marked the end of this 'golden era' with references to Jackie Kennedy at JFK's grave, etc.
Thus, there is VERY STRONG significance to one viewing such a dream, that is old enough to remember Kennedy's death, to see how an image of a 'Jackie Kennedy crying at JFK's graveside' would indicate 'a national death'. The symbolism is plain, clear and obvious.
For us 'older generations', its like being direct-and-to-the-point, and I really don't think there could be a clearer imagery to explain such a thing as 'a nation dying'. I can't even think of anything 'modern' that could be used to equal this one image, actually.
