In my opinion, dream guides as a seperate, distinct entity, are a myth, or at most, a self-manifestation. I guess it's possible to have none, one or many more. And in the case of the former, if you have enough control over a dream, you could always invent one.

My brother has actively reminded me that it is a dream on more than one occassion ("Hey, you know this is a dream? Become lucid.") but I don't believe he is a "dream guide" or any one else is. He's just doing what my brother was meant to do in that dream, you know?

That's not to say I don't want one. But then again, I'd like to meet many fantastical characters in my dream. Perhaps, when I'm a little more experienced, I'd even have an accidently-on-purpose run-in with my worst fear (that'll be a dream to remember).

But do not despair at this opinion if you believe that dreams are more than your sub-conscious! This is a perfectly ok thing to believe, and you might be right. All I'm saying is, there's plentty enough in your mind to surprise you already!

Guided or not, explore your dreams.

You'll find a lot.

I know I will, ssome day.
