Thread: Finding Your Dreamguide (3 In 1 )

I think your definition of Dream guide is different to mine. I see them as possibly being a representation of our own minds (as dreams are what our subconscious creates when "we" are asleep). If they are in a human form, meaning they can speak back, then in theory you can talk with your conscious mind to what you subconscious mind has created. The dream guide is more of a prestigious title for what really is a subconscious manifestation. I don't believe the DG has super duper secrets for me to tell me how to unlock my true potential, but I do think it would be interesting to speak with something in your mind, not made by you.

When I say "made by you" I mean something you imagined, made up, created etc. You subconscious is almost completely independent of your conscious mind. It would be like joining the two halves that existed together but never really interacted.

I don't expect to finally find my super duper dream spirit magical animal guide and we will learn secrets from each other and unlock my own SUPERPOWERS, nor do I think I need a hand to hold as I navigate my dreams.

Well said. I was actually using the generally accepted dream guide definition out there, and not yours specifically. In truth I am myself in search of that connection to my "subconscious" -- as I've said before, I hate that word -- to consciously tap and understand the basic nature of my being, of my soul. I suppose using the metaphor of a dream guide -- as long as you are able to remember that it's just a metaphor -- is as good a tool as any to make the exploration. As long as you are able to maintain that it is just a metaphor, and don't drift into a belief system that there really is an external being there to do the work for you.
