This name came to me upon waking from a dream. The name was very clear, but I have no idea what it may have been referring to, just the feeling that it was someplace old... perhaps a place or piece of literature.

"Idlewild" was the former name of JFK Airport in NY and is also the name of a Rap musical movie that just got released a couple of weeks ago.
"Construction of the airport began in 1942 with modest ambitions. Only 1,000 acres (4 km²) of land on the site of Idlewild golf course were earmarked for use. The golf course provided the airport's original namesake, Idlewild Airport.
The airport saw its first commercial flight on July 1, 1948. It was dedicated as 'New York International Airport on July 31 of that same year, although the name "Idlewild" remained in common use and the official IATA airport code was IDL." (Wikipedia)
