This is the best thread I've read so far on dream views! I think lucid dreaming is just a first step. I think finding you're dream guide is only a second step to something even bigger. I've had plenty of lucid dreams (about 3-4 a month for the last couple of years), and it never dawned on me to find a dream guide. I will re-post after I make contact. Thanks again Spiritofthewolf!!
This is amazing... I don't think dreamguides are "special DCs" but i never saw my dreamguide, so i can't give my opinion :D
Has anyone ever asked their dreamguide for a memory? Like: Can you elp me remember my 2nd birthday?" or something?
Mario walks in, all cool-like. BAM! Mario runs into giant wall of text.
This is an awesome thread, though. Once I get a bit better at lucid dreaming, I'll definitely start looking for my dream guide. Ooh, I hope it's Albert Einstein...I really like his work. Him, or Carl Sagan, or Stephen Hawking...all good. Heck, I would settle for Carl Hiaasen.
This thread has really captured my imagination, its kind of comforting to think there could be a separate mystical entity out there who is there to help you.
I'm not too sure whether to believe a DG is a separate entity or a part of your subconscious. I definitely believe in spirit guides. This is because I went to a clairvoyant once and found her extremely credible, I was blown away by what she could tell me about myself and the accuracy of her predictions (they came true). This clairvoyant told me we all had spirit guides, so I am willing to believe someone credible like this.
As for whether the spirit guides manifest themselves in dreams? I dunno. I think its possible that we interract with them on a subconscious level and therefore we could see them in our dreams as a DG.
I'm not too sure either way but I loved reading your thread Spiritofthewolf, thankyou.
Wow that's a really thought out post man!!!
I wanna find my Dream Guide too!
In my waking life I currently don't have anyone I can really tell EVERYTHING to that's bothering me (I do have a lot of friends though, but they won't listen to me in that way...you know... which I cannot express.)
But if there's someone understanding in the Dream World I can ask for guidance, I'm gonna do it!
And whoever he/she may be I'm going to respect him/her and ask a lot of personal questions I am stuck with! Maybe have some non-sexual fun with him/her too!
Best - DG - post - ever - dude -
Cheers,
Will.
Something that I've found about lucid dreaming is that a task is only as difficult as you assume it will be. Your only limitation is yourself. Since I assumed I would see my Dream Guide soon, I met her within my first night of lucid dreaming, in my second lucid dream. I was about to wake up so I summoned a Guide, and she appeared. Easy as that. But if you assume that finding your Dream Guide will be an arduous task, then it will be.
I don't believe that everyone has a Dream Guide, or that they exist, sentient and separate from us, on some other magical plain of existence. I think a Dream Guide is just an extension of your subconscious, like everything else in dreams. Your brain makes it for you, and when you ascribe significance to it (with the title Dream Guide) it becomes a more permanent fixture there.
I read about this and thought it sounded good so i tried out asking someone in one of my dreams if they were my dream guide and they just said yes instantly, i thought it was harder to find them so i asked is that a yes i am or just a yes, and they replied yes i am.
After a small chat i tried to alter the person who was claiming to be my dream guide and they stopped me and said ''they wont like it when i use my powers'', the person said a name of some company like it was the matrix. It was a funny thing to say but when i remember what they said it makes me think alot about it, why would a normal dream character not like to be altered into something else, they dont even have personality.
Then we spoke for 5-10 minutes in my dream and the weirdest part happened, i started to fade out because iv never been able to stay in my LD's for that long and when i couldnt see anything i hear them saying take one step back so i did and i had full control again :shock:
The end came when i followed them through a door and i woke up...i dont know what to make of it. It seems to point towards being my dreamguide so i think ill have to try and summon them again tonight because i forgot to ask for their name.
I have one question about dreamguides though which goes onto the question i really want to know:
-Do they have enough personality to be angry with you?
-Would they be angry if you told people their name and what they looked like?
Wow. That is an amazing dream!Quote:

My dream guide's name is Zaphor. He is a red gargoyle, but can appear as a red dragon, or a mecha-dragon, though that's rare. He appears in a mirror in a meditation room I created in dreams.
If I'm right about who my dream guide is, She HAS gotten mad at me. She refused to talk to me, and I had to go running after her.Quote:

I would like to say, first off, that I'm really grateful that you posted this.
I've been struggling with a problem since I decided to become lucid: What do I do once I gain mastery? Now I have a quest, a little project to set my mind on.
I'm going to find my DreamGuide. I don't care how long it takes, or if it will speak to me. (Rather if it could or not).
Thank you for helping me find something to accomplish.
I dont understand how someone can just appear in your dream and tell you stuff without you imagining it in the first place. Someone please tell me more.
You need to read the post again. A Dream Guide (if i'm not misreading this) is a part of you. No one knows where they come from, how they are made, or anything else like that.Quote:

Dream Guides are special.
That's how I understand it.
Interesting but i still havent got the full grasp of it.
Truth is, I don't think you can be TOLD what a Dream Guide is. I think it's something you won't fully understand unless you find them.
Don't worry...
Hey, great tutorial. REALLY insightful. I'm now more determined than ever to find my dream guide. In fact (assuming I'm still in my rem cycle as I woke up pretty late) I'm about to take a nap and try to LD, since naps always give the most control in my experiences.
no, didn't find it in the nap I don't think. cant remember much of the dream because when I woke up I was greeted by bright lights. Still, I'll try for real tonight assuming I can get to bed with all this sleep I've had.
very inspiring post. seems i've met more than one character who has been extremely helpful to me. i guess i'll have to ask next time. either that, or perhaps i have mulitiple dream guides, or one who shapeshifts.
thanks,
beachgirl
It's because your dream guide is a separate entity. When I first met my dream guide, I thought he was a manifestation of my subconscious, until he started telling me things I didn't know.Quote:

Well do you mean things you don't know or things you couldn't possibly know? If it's the latter try asking it for winning lottery numbers :lol:Quote:

I think i found my dreamguide a couple nights ago :O
Her name was Natalie, and she appeared in this fog, and i could only make out her black hair and her red dress, and when she disapeared this creepy voice appeared in my head, i think it was hers.
It was about things to come, and about my future.
Could anything she say come true?
