Hmm I never realized interactions with dream characters were such an important part of lucid dreaming - and such a complex phenomenon, too. The thing is I hardly ever meet anyone in my dreams. It's actually weird! When I'm non-lucid, there's lots of people, with whom I interact in various ways - from friendly conversations to arguments - but when I notice a dream sign and go lucid, POOF! all people are gone! And when they do appear, it's such a distressing factor that it causes me to wake up. Or they try to distract me and I end up non-lucid again.
BUT...
...the original poster's story made me think I might've met my dream guide before... Just when I began trying to get lucid in my dreams, a bit over a year ago, in November. In one of the first dreams I wrote down (non-lucid), I hung out with this cute, dark haired girl, who reminded me of a friend from highschool. We were in this white room - and suddenly, I felt I had to leave. I headed for the door, walked through it and as I was closing the door behind me, I promissed her I'd be back for her. And then I woke up. I never had a dream about her again. And... I always felt strangely guilty, as if I disappointed her. Weird feeling.
So I'm wondering...
...could this sort of attachment be purely incidental? Or was that an encounter with my dream guide, who didn't reveal herself to me back then because she knew I wasn't ready. Which in fact I wasn't, because I was barely beginning my adventure with LD's. Hmm... I know where the place I left her in my dream is, it's somewhere downtown - a place where I go lucid in my dreams A LOT. I think I know the exact building. So I do wonder... if I went there and called out for her, would she come out? Or if it WAS her at all.
Either way, an intriguing topic... Adding a whole new dimension to LD, for sure.
