      Describe Your Dream Guide

      I've heard brief mentions of dream guides here on the forums and on the Lucid Dreaming subreddit, but usually these guides are not described well. From what I gather, most guides seem to be of humanoid form, but mine is not, which made me curious-- what do other people's dream guides look like? Here's a description of mine:

      My dream guide, which I accidentally named Courga in a non-lucid dream (that then became lucid) first appeared to me as something of a cross between a leopard and an Anubis-like creature. She had an Anubis-like face and ears with a dog-like chest and front paws with a cat-like back half of the body. She was a beautiful shade of royal blue, with dark midnight blue leopard spots and golden accents, mainly trimming the ears and spine. She wore a black mask that hugged her muzzle, and her eyes glowed and smoked golden.

      In dreams since this first, she has appeared to me as different animals or amalgam of animals, but always retained the same royal blue/midnight blue/golden accents color scheme, smokey golden eyes, and black face mask. She recently appeared to me as a human woman in a glittering gown and masquerade mask of the same colors. She always has an air of seriousness and elegance about her, and something about her presence makes the world melt away.

      Lets hear some others!

      I have a mixture of developed dream guides as well as naturally occurring dream guides. Developed dream guides are those who have come due to my request. Natural dream guides are those who have entered my dreams but before the dream, I never thought they'd exist. In all dreams in general, my dream guides not only familiarise me with dream laws but also extend their service to helping me cope with whatever situation I'm thrown into. I'll describe three dream guides to you, who are all fairly current.

      First of all is my primary dream guide who I've trained myself to assertively summon in a lot of dreams and we actually have a really good relationship. She is a developed dream guide, I created her image based on someone in real life who I had some difficulties with. I thought, instead of channelling all my energy to the Earthly equivalent which will just be sadly wasted... I decided to split her into two and create what I call a dreamy equivalent. The dreamy equivalent is the ideal friendship form (obviously with some dreams distorting ideas to a larger scale). To start off, she was fairly casual as a dream guide, not being too close but her personality and mine seemed to match well in dreams, so that's when I started relying on her more. To give you a reference, she is named as Dreamy WB in my dream journals... Remember she is a dreamy equivalent and so her name is abbreviated to protect the identity of the real equivalent.

      Let's get into the nitty gritty of Dreamy WB's identity and special features. She is of African descendance. Her appearance varies in dreams but the general idea of her is consistent. In some dreams, she can appear very female-like, which is a true gender indication but in other dreams, she can be almost falsely portrayed with a male-like appearance (I have no control over how she appears, her dress style is the dream's choice). Since you're asking for how the dream guides look, I'll give you an example of some of the appearances that she has taken. Her most masculine form was in Dream No. 142 where she retained the same face but her hair was short and curly and rather than it being black, it was dirty blonde. Additionally, she wore a skinny red men's t-shirt. On the opposite end of the scale is in dreams whenever she has her hair straightened and is wearing make-up. Other appearances have been normal clothes with tied back hair and low bun, high bun with very casual clothes, two braids with uniform-like clothing. The dream has a way of unique appearances so I'll always know when it's only WB or otherwise Dreamy WB. For instance, Dreamy WB will always have a warm and gentle facial expression where as WB will just be plain blank. Or WB may look confused whereas Dreamy WB looks like she knows what she is doing. Now in some dreams, she doesn't appear at all and actually acts an invisible force! Most commonly, she has helped me in the form of a water wave (refer to Dreams No. 106 and 215).

      So over the months, Dreamy WB has done some of the following things for me. In early dreams, she just spoke to me and sometimes hugged me. A bit more into the dream timeline, I had a dream where my mum and dad were being violent and I ended up calling her in a panic; she actually separated my parents (refer to Dream No. 86). In real life, I have a phobia of elevators and in some dreams, she's nearly calmly taken me into them (refer to Dreams No. 119, 129 and 223), well, she actually got me in there in 129... There was also Dream No. 99 but that's not on DreamViews. In later dreams, she's actually done some creative stuff to stop my enemies from hurting me or others (refer to Dreams 142 and 152). And then in recent dreams, she's actually helped not just me, but my family members too! (refer to Dreams No. 206 and 223). She's played a big role in dreams and has actually become a very powerful DC... I feel she's helped me develop as a person in real life too, I feel I'm more patient with people than I used to be and I can rationalise certain scenarios more.

      Now to my second dream guide who is completely natural, therefore his name can be revealed... Noah. He has only appeared two times so far (refer to Dreams No. 141 C and 201 B). He literally formally introduced himself to me as Noah. To share what he looks like, I will put in here an extract from Dream No. 141 C.

      "Not much happened before I didn't see her around either. At first, I thought she just vanished to help me invisibly but then that thought was soon replaced with the horrifying fact that she had gone missing too. Eventually, this boy appeared to help me that looked like he was around my age. He was tall, had spiky, white-washed blonde hair and was wearing a black coat... His name was Noah and he was claiming to be my boyfriend (in real life, I don't have a boyfriend) and replacement dream guide... He came to help me look for Dreamy WB. Every time I said something in a panic, he would always put his arm around me and say that everything would be okay."

      Noah held the same appearance for Dream 201 B as well. In Dream 201 B, it was claimed to be the end of the world and I had to go and find some dream guides to save me and my brother. Dreamy WB came in a body-surf board to save me and then while clutched under Dreamy WB's arm I look over to see that for this dream, Noah had adopted care of my brother on his board. It's been the common theme, Noah is the emergency dream guide when there are not enough of them already to help.

      The third dream guide is Dreamy NN who has only helped out once, literally. Now I don't know whether to classify him as natural or developed, because although he has a real life counterpart, I never requested for a dreamy equivalent. He's probably what you would call an intruder, but I guess a friendly intruder, I don't mind if he wants to help me... The more the merrier. His appearance: He is also of African descendance but from a different region. He is thin and he usually has very short curly hair. The dreamy equivalent looked exactly the same, only that the height of his hair was up by a fair few centimetres (refer to Dream No. 218).

      So in summary, Dreamy WB is the main powerful body who can teach, protect, rationalise, strengthen and heal. Noah and Dreamy NN, as substitutes, can only protect and on some occasions, heal. I love my dream family and I hope reading about some of the members has given you insight on how you can develop your own. Be creative and start by using dreams to talk to Courga, ask her who she really is and if you get advanced enough, actually ask her to help you with things you may be struggling with. I don't have any animal guides, animals are pretty insignificant in my dream... The only animal I interact with is my mischievous cat who has unfortunately been the main element of two nightmares.

      I'm going to be creative and try linking Noah to my brother more if I can. Just as Dreamy WB is like my wellbeing instructor, I'm thinking it would be good for Noah to have that same relationship with my brother, based on his real life needs. If you want to learn more about my dream guides, look through my journal... Dreamy WB appears in almost every single dream and her appearances are clearly indicated.

      Thank you very much for sharing! It does sound incredibly gratifying to have a family of guides to rely on; I hadn't thought about the possibility of having more than one, as people usually seem to only talk about one. I am definitely interested in developing my relationship with Courga more, and it is at the top of my list after better mastering my control of dreams.

      Thanks for the inspiration!

      Courga, Dreamy WB, and Dreamy Noah sound like great dream guides to have. I have more than one too but 3 main ones.(Dawn,Eye,Kiro)Growing up they’ve helped me with different things. However, overtime the dreams they have appeared in has lessened. Maybe cause I didn’t summon them in a lucid for quite some time. I gave myself time without summoning them to see if they appear in a non lucid too but nothing really has happened. It could probably be because deep down I feel like now I need a new guide because their personalities fit different situations and I’m starting to face new and more complex problems.

      I also noticed your username is the same as your dream guide. I did the same thing as well with my username.
      I will have to describe my guides later though since my battery is about to die.

      I never had a dreamguide, spent dreams looking for one. Once or twice I got scammed lol . Pretty weird. I always called out for one but nothing ever happened.
      Probably I will create one once I am skilled enough in lucid dreaming.

      I'm back to describe my dream guides. Like others, their main form is humanoid. But my guides tend to change from realism to anime form.

      Dawn

      Dawn is tall, average in weight, white, has long white hair, red eyes and tends to wear whatever. Random clothes appear on him but I prefer him in black. His signature color is a light blue color. His weapon(Sword) or energy reflect that color as well. He fights without his sword too though. His voice is medium yet airy and kind sounding.

      I've noticed that his realism form changes from time to time but he still has that tall/average form to him.

      Eye

      Eye is beige or light brown, slim yet at times he can appear like he is close to average. I wouldn't consider him short but he's not tall either. His eye color can be gray, light blue or blue. His hair is short black in realism form but in anime form its a navy blue. His voice is in btw the medium/high range and he usually wears shorts with a tank top but can wear anything really. He doesn't really have a weapon but fights with combat moves or manipulates things.Signature color is blue.

      Kiro

      Kiro has light brown hair, close to shoulder length, he is beige, has green eyes and is kind of chubby.He usually shows up wearing casual outfits. He is taller than eye but I can't recall if he is slightly taller or below Dawn's height.Signature Color is green.

      I don't think I have a dream guide. But if I do, I envision him standing in the corner, not daring to show himself to me, while he intermittently chuckles himself silly at my attempts, and shakes his head in disbelief when I chose lucid sex over exploration.

      I may not be ready for him, and it seems like he is for sure not ready for me : D

      After my lucid is over, he proly goes to the office, slams his clipboard on the desk and demands, that I'm am assigned another DG. "She driving me cray" echoes in the halls of Lucid Dream Guides Administration building.

      [I had a few vivid dreams, I forget if they were lucid, where I dreamt of an Amy character, based on an Amy I once knew but was very different in the dream. I very much want to find a dream guide. In one vivid lucid dream I met an old lady, I thought I was homeless and she said I could live with her. She took me to a grassy field/festival and I did ballet with another dream character.

      Thus far, I've managed contact with one guide, E (shorthand for... something else). Generally mutable in form, she has shown a tendency towards appearing as a light skinned, black haired Asiatic woman. E tends to fluctuate in size, weight, and scale, whether stout, skinny, athletically build, short, tall, or even colossal. Her age usually hovers around the early-mid thirties range, though she's appeared older at times, and even as a baby at least twice. At times, she manifests with the black scaled tail of a serpent in place of legs, during which she tends to have more than two arms. Indeed, her first known appearance to me was as a gigantic middle-aged version of such a form.

      Other forms I've seen include: a ghostly figure, an Asian noble, a human-shaped storm-cloud, a bright red star, an undead horror, and a whale-sized pale mermaid.

      Interesting that she comes in so many forms. So far you are the only other person that has a shifting dream guide (at least, one that shifts in meaningful ways). I am wondering how you recognize E when she is in wild forms? For me, I think I can recognize my dream guide by her feel-- that aura of seriousness-- and definitely by her consistent color scheme.

      There's a distinct sensation when she's present, a sort of "pull" between us, not unlike a magnetic force. It's subtle at times, enough so that I only realize such after waking on some occasions. Nonetheless, those feelings are unmistakably unique to her.

      It's funny because three of my dream characters seem to have such a similar effect. Though I wouldn't describe it as a pull, its a presence that I can sense even if they're not in my line of sight.

      (On Topic)

      While I don't classify any of my dream characters as guides, since they do not guide me through my dreams or life, at least not in a traditional way. I would shorthand describe them with the many drawings ive made but as is an inevitability for any developing artist you quickly lose faith in your old work. Though there are a few drawings of them on my art thread, you can head there to see them.

      Marcus:

      Generally appears as a middle-aged balding man with a short beard, pale skin and small stature. He only seems to be slightly taller than dream-me who has always been very short. For a time he appeared as a baseball-sized metal orb with a single blue glowing eye, but he seems to be back to normal as of his most recent appearance. Marcus, in-dream is from a race of hyper-advanced transbiological beings who catalogue information around the universe, though this story is only played to sometimes, and other times he speaks and is involved in stories as though he is just a normal human who is the head of a successful technology enterprise; a sort of bill gates+elon musk kind of guy. He may also appear as his younger self (teens or 20's) who had messy black hair but retained his signature square glasses, which are often opaque. While his older self generally wore a pale blue colored formal shit, his younger self seemed to prefer black.

      I remember Marcus explaining that in a dream, one's outward appearance and inward character are very rarely out of synch with one another, and are often a reflection of one another.

      Manei:

      She used to be a formal dream guide but that role seems to have slid away in favor of a more causal relationship. Across a vast majority of her appearances she maintained one form with a remarkable degree of consistency. She is very tall (195cm), especially in comparison to my dream body which is very short, and has a slender build. She has dark tan skin, dark brown wavy hair and orangish-brown eyes. For the most part this form seems to have aged up alongside me, though she seems to be about 5 years older than me. (Not sure of the exactness on that.)

      She used to frequent this red tribal outfit, but lately seems to have adopted more modern looking outfits. Though she's still associated mainly with reds and browns.

      Despite this there have been a bunch of inconsistencies and transformations. She appeared as a male version of herself several times, mirroring the features of her female form. This form could best be described as a sort of 'surfer dude'. On occasion she's appeared as female but with a mustache or facial hair, to which she is always embarrassed. I have also seen her appear with buzz cut hair. She has age shifted into an old woman and a young child version of herself. She also demonstrated that she could turn into a white owl-like bird.

      Jack:

      DawnEye described Jack as a GI joe action figure; and honestly that's exactly what he looks like. He's actually a little shorter than Manei but given a large muscular build, short blonde hair and green eyes. He tends to dress in military clothing as well, favoring camo and khaki colors. In a few of his early appearances he had long curly hair. Since he hasn't appeared much I haven't had much opportunity to note any inconsistencies in his form.

      Discounting Jonathan cause he's dead/missing.

      --I just noticed this: My DCS are represented the primary colors (of light). Manei (Red) Jack (Green) and Marcus (Blue).
