Maybe, but it also occurred to me that Smokey Bear wears a hat that would be part of a uniform and wondered if it had something to do with park police or other public servants who are supposed to be protecting the people. I was truly puzzled by that vision.
@baba, Yes to your association of Smokey Bear and park police or uniform. As I read yiur post I thought about Wednesday's insurrection. Two Capitol police officers have been suspended and another 10 are under investigation for their behaviors and for possibly aiding and abetting. A recently dismissed Army Psycological operations officer is also under investigation for taking 100 NC residents to DC for the protests. I feel more such instances will come to light. We are taught to seek out & trust those in uniform, yet we're finding some of them to be part of the problem (not even getting into how the inappropriately handle peaceful protests or BLM ).
Maybe Uncle Sam is representing the current Trump administration, and Smokey the Bear represents the grassroots movement that is trying to help the environment? Uncle Sam carrying guns in full display is too Trumpian to me (Trump supporters like to display their weapons as a means of intimidation).
Now, I am biased, because Smokey the Bear is our unofficial mascot in the Great Smokey National Park (near where I live), so it is hard for me to assign negative aspects to him. Further, Smokey the Bear is the one who told us all "Only YOU can prevent wildfire," which I always took as meaning that we, the nation, must work together and act responsibly with our environment and wildlife. So the image of Uncle Sam putting Smokey the Bear in a headlock is strangely similar to Trump and his Republican party in their efforts to hamstring common sense environmental measures to the point that it is probably too late to avoid some of the consequences of our actions (I hope Florida and particularly Trump's golf course goes underwater if it occurs. Might as well have the most guilty ones suffer the consequences if we are all being made to pay.)
So, Trump has been hurting the country and the environmental movement, but help is on the way with Pelosi and crew, who will investigate and prosecute Trump to the point that he won't be able to get a position of dogcatcher in Hicktown, USA without local backlash. That's my guess anyway.
You never fail to crack me up with your visions. I have a warped sense of humor, but picture Uncle Sam in a boxing ring with Smokey Bear in a headlock. ?
I dreamed about raging wildfires night before last. I want to say there were flashes of Smokey helping put them out in the dreams because it feels like there was, but a lot of times the details of my dreams fade fast if I don't write them down, so not sure. The intensity of the fires is still with me though.
If you saw the National Park Service /Forest Service hat on the bear, then it would seem to indicate something about the National Park Service.
Building upon that thought, members of the National Park Service were the first to rebel against Trump after he took office.
Shortly after Donald Trump’s inauguration, the official NPS Twitter account retweeted the famous photos comparing the size of Obama and Trump inauguration crowd size. Hours later, the Badlands National Park in western South Dakota began tweeting out facts about human-induced climate change. Then the Death Valley National Park posted tweets about the park’s history as an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II.
Trump was furious. Spicer was caught in multiple lies and fact checked from day one. This was how it all began.
These actions inspired hundreds of alternative NPS social media accounts to appear, run by anonymous NPS employees upset at the Trump administration’s attempt to obstruct evidence of human-caused climate change. A Rogue EPA one popped up, followed by rebel NASA, USDA, Forest Service ones. Some tweeted climate facts relevant to their particular agency or park. Others took it a step further, highlighting the catastrophic ecological impacts of Trump’s border wall and approval of the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines. I viewed them as shining lights of hope.
So actually, one could say the NPS began the battle against Trump who currently represents the US government which is fact is Uncle Sam.
It began with the NPS and it appears to end with them. They run National Mall where the inauguration occurs and the crowds gather.
*Fun fact, Smokey the Bear lived at the DC National Smithsonian Zoo. He was rescued after a fire in the New Mexico Lincoln National Forrest.
There are a ton of connections here Baba.
Smokey Bear could have to do with forest fires - perhaps the wildfires in California -- since Smokey the Bear was a mascot for preventing forest fires. "Only you can prevent forest fires."
I believe "Smokey Bear" or some variation might be old CB slang (think Smokey and the Bandit) for the police so perhaps you're onto something thinking it has to do with the police. Maybe there will be some standoff between the government and the police, or maybe the police role in the January 6 happenings will be investigated. The image you give seems to imply the forces are almost equally matched, though Uncle Sam has enough of an upper hand to enact the headlock.
@writerjenny Thanks for the advice! I do find I analyze more than intuit - maybe it's just something that will come to me.
And @baba @TriciaCT, thanks for the encouragement! :)
@sam it's time and experience. I remember when I was getting my sea legs I would feverishly check the tarot websites for card meanings, which was good, it helped me learn card combinations too, but as overwhelming as it felt for me, I hit a point where I just knew what I was looking at.
If I can ever help you on your journey, I'm happy to assist.
I had a 'caper' vision-dream last night. I focused on the US and Biden before that.
It took place in Moscow where a large crowd of Russian agents tried to get their hands on a man. He was able to elude them through jumping in a river (cleansing?) and led them through a large building of glass (the world is watching?), eventually getting out through a *very* dirty toilet area (all shit will come out?). I remember thinking that I would NOT want to sit on that seat, ever.
I got a feeling of exhilaration from that. The good guy wins, although there are some times that are touch and go and *many* nail biting moments will come up. In the end however, it will be ok.
I went out on the patio a few minutes ago to have a smoke (yes, I know...*sigh*) before bed, and I felt a sort of peace in front of me as though coming out of a tunnel. I suddenly realized that all of this stuff was behind me...I could literally feel it behind me, passing away as I moved on...everything was over and done. The phrase "It's all over but the shouting" popped into my head, and I had to chuckle a bit as I was coming back inside.
