I gave myself similar dream goals to this a several months back, although I was looking for Nietzsche (my favorite philosopher). So, I wasn't trying to connect with an actual person to share a dream with, just cultivating the abilities to summon or find someone in a dream, transport myself to a specific person and/or place, and remember complex information and goals within the dream.

Here are the DJ entries where I achieved this:
Plucking the Sun from the Sky
Strange Conversations with Sharon
Meeting Nietzsche

Right now I am working on body transformations as my lucid goal, but as soon as I achieve this, I will refresh my skills in this area and try going to a pyramid. (I imagine these same skills will come in handy when its time for me to contact my dream guide again.)

After achieving these goals, what next steps do you recommend, Sivason?
