MAYBE THE DREAM HAD SOME KIND OF SYMBOLIC MEANING INSTEAD OF A LITERAL MEANING THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT YET.

Yes, and?
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Or maybe the dream was a result of fierce digestive issues?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm tempted to email the guy and say, "Maybe the Rapture did happen and you just weren't good enough...."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Well, at least that's honesty. The truly craxxy are the ones who are like, "No, your stupid calendar is wrong!!"

Huh. If you read the whole mea culpa you can sorta' see why he thought his dream was a real prophecy. (He was very sick and got some weird phone call and suddenly got better and attributed it to a miracle.) It just seems like an honest mistake that someone who believes in the Rapture and prophetic dreams might make. I mean, I don't think he was intentionally exploiting people to make money with his book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Um, poor guy? (N.b.: I didn't click through.)
