Dream about Speaking to George W. Bush

So I had this dream last night that I lived in this building with George W. Bush, and I was campaigning and others were campaigning to do something about Global Warming, and Bush would make pronouncements about terrorism and wars we needed to fight, and he would make announcements discrediting the need to do something about global warming.

One day, we had a meeting, a bunch of friends, relatives and community members were in a room and George Bush was present. Towards the end of the meeting, after some of the people left, it was just me, George W. Bush and some of my brothers, and some girls from the community. I remember just engaging Bush and getting his attention and emphasizing my questions by swatting him on the forearm with a long rubber band I was holding, asking, "WHY, WHY, WHY don't we do something about global warming????!!!! I mean, if we don't do anything, we might be completely F**KED!! But if we do something, and it turns out we didn't really have to, we will at least have saved some fossil fuels and developed the technology to continue our lifestyle when fossil fuels actually do run low." He said well he was interested in doing something, but he didn't really know what. He said, really all that matters is humans, that humans survive and that they can eat.

Then, I realized his face was painted with monarch butterfy across it. And I told him, that monarch butterfly is endangered because of global warming. I told him that perhaps humans can survive global warming, but monarch butterflies and millions of other species might not be able to survive. I said, "Do you want to live on Mars? Do you want to live on an earth that is just like Mars? Just humans, and no wildlife?" I told him our existence depends on the ecosystems around us that stabilize our food systems, our water, and our air.

I like your dream. Hear is Juan's interperatation.

The dream expresses your strong desire to get answers from the "powers" that be and shows you as someone that is the voice of the community and leader to get to the truth, which you are. more power to you. The dream says good things about you.
You can't understand it and really wish you could BOUNCE questions off of these people that don't seem to care, especially those in (what man calss)"power". that's why it was rubber you're hitting them with.
The dream gives an answer: They (Bush is the symbol) simply are on a different page and think"survival" is the most important thing. You know, after all these years many people still act like cave-men. Focused on 'suvival,' out of fear, actually destroy what would help them survive, and the beauty. Instead of mud on his face he has monarch butterfly, killed for his "save the humans" caveman mentality. On his face because it is vanity as well. If one believes there' is no God to help protect in their world, that is the type of world they will see, for the world is a manifestation of beliefs.
There is an ironic answer in the dream.
Those who think they must "survive" end up choosing violence. Believing u have to kill to protect, and defend borders to 'save' a country.
These are the things that cause global warming, etc. in the long run. Obviously greed. Will we buy and sell pieces of the sky next? o wait we already do. then fight and kill to keep your share.

Love one another and be free and the world abundantly gives of its never-ending supply.
Eternity by definition doesn't change. Let it be reflected here.
It's ironic because u don't want to make the same mistake as Bush says in the dream."All i care about is to save the humans" giving license to limit freedom; THAT kills butterflies and makes for global warming because it's based on fear and not Love.
Freedom needs no defense and Love heals everything. The answers are spiritual.
Take no thought of things of a material nature because Your Father in Heaven knows what u need before u ask. Man doesn't live by this, wreaks destruction, and then searches for who to blame.

I think you're great and the dream shows how you rally people to find solutions and look for the truth. God bless you for your courage.
I think your bike trip is very important.
very cool to meet you.
