Hi! I've always been curious about dreams and before even hearing about lucid dreaming, i was able to somewhat control my dreams to a small degree.
I got intruduced to lucid dreaming 2 years ago, and I have been working on lucid dreaming ever since
But I still haven't been able to figure out some things, for example:

I read that everyone has atleast one dream guide, I've tried finding my dream guide, but whatever I did I got no result. In my dreams I can sense that I'm being watched by a prescence and whenever I was losing lucidity in a dream there was always this voice in my head telling me what I should do. so here's the question: If my dream guide is helping me, why doesn't he show himself to me?

and my next question: Is it possible for me to encounter myself in a lucid dream? My spirit/soul?

Thank you for reading! ^_^
