Thread: Finding Your Dream Guide (tutorial)

I've moved this topic to Attaining Lucidity because it didn't quite seem right for Dream Interpretation. Maybe this could be included as a tutorial in the tutorials section of the forum? I don't know what procedure somthing has to go through to get put there, though.

This would be the worse thing ever espically when he calls a dream guide a spirtual guide. This should be moved to the beyound dreaming with rest of obe's and telekinsis stuff. Am i the only one who can see that this is beyound dreaming material.

The fact that a certain entity in a dream is recurring (on some level) and you "feel" that it is your DreamGuide it doesn't mean it is.

Technically this whole Dreamguide thing isn't 100% plausible, because you're still relying on your own mind to ''make it'' the dreamguide.

If I had to choose one particular character that would have to be my so called "DG", I can't.

I've had thousands of recurring characters with recurring personalities, and they all were aware of the situation I was in.

Though the most "respected one" by me would have to be "The Elder" (The Elder doesn't have a name =p)

The Elder lives on a small island with a small wooden shack (which is my ''house'' btw) and The Elder has a huge white tower on one edge of the island, with fortified walls around it and a small village and the such.

It is The Elder, who has taught me the skill to manipulate dream time,(He/She/It/Me/Whomever it is) which allowed me to use the ''technique'' to dream more time than I sleep, without skips.

The second to be a DreamGuide to me would be "The Sigil".
The Sigil, like The Elder, has no name, but unlike the elder, has no shape or form. He's a sigil (read: pretty huge drawing)

The Sigil appeared in a dream (I'll spare the details) in a cellar, and when approached, if The Sigil deems one worthy, The Sigil will vanish, showing a path into another realm, which almost looked like I went into a cyberspace version of reality, really weird.

I don't have Dream Guides that constantly talk to me & support me though.
I seek something? Visit The Elder
I seek something The Elder can't show me? I Visit The Sigil.

They are the exact Opposites of eachother:
The Elder, as a human, shows me knowledge, and the "knowledge based" side of the mind.
The Sigil, as a sigil, shows me spiritualism, and the emotional side of the mind.

You could say that The Elder would teach it's pupil how to control his environment and stabilize it, and that The Sigil would show the pupil how to appreciate the existence of that environment, and to enjoy it to it's fullest extent.

As The Sigil can bring upon man emotions that surpass even the most extreme emotions that anyone can imagine.

I tend to agree with [Alpha]-Omega (if I interpret correctly) on the fact that your mind may create the DG. Although this may detract from the mystical aspect of the DG, it still attests the amazing capabilities of the human mind. As in my case where my first LD occurred at age six which consisted of a dream character telling me that I was dreaming and teaching me how to control the movement of my dream body. Seeming quite a feat for a six year old brain, but not surprising given the untapped potential that each of us possess.

I agree that this belongs in Beyond Dreaming.

The dream guide you're speaking about is more commonly known as a "spirit guide".

They are the person that on the other side (heaven/home) you create the blueprint of your life with.

They're somebody on the other side you trust and love very much. Sort of like you're bestest buddy EVER.

Your subconcious does not create your spirit guide/dream guide like it does other dream characters and the entire setting/environment of your dream.

People can experience real contact/communication with REAL people (living or passed on) through dreams.

Several advanced lucid dreamers/astral travellers have had conversations and adventures/journeys with passed on loved ones.

Also sometimes two alive people share dreams (as they can recall/relate exactly what they did to one another).

I believe I have met mine too, but I did not have a conversation with her, as they do tend to take things slowly (as to not frighten you, for it's a lot to take in at first). You'll know when you meet him/her because it will probably be unlike 95% of your other lucid dreams. You're clarity of thought and conciousness and perceptions is MUCH higher.

One more reason why the process of meeting/contacting your spirit guide/dg takes so long (in between meetings) is that time on the other side perceptably moves much more quickly...

I doubt this is my dream guide, but one night I dreamt I had a real long conversation with Ghandi about dreaming. All i really remember was telling him "I have lots I want to do, but not enough time to do it in, while you have nothing you want to accomplish, but you have all the time in the world"

Before bed that night, I had watched Robot Chicken, and in it, Ghandi and Benjamin Franklin were wrestling the Wright brothers

Thanks for this Spirit of the Wolf, great stuff

wow, I think I might start looking for my dream guide. thanks for the post! I wonder what they will look like...

I will start my journey soon enough. I thank you for your post Spirit of the Wolf. I can't wait to meet my Dreamguide, and I'm sure they are happy for me to start looking for them.

My dream guide is a sadistic jerk. How do I get rid of him?

I've tried guns, magic, knives, swords, a two-by-four, a golf club, magical items, prayer, a giant cross, faith in my own abilities as a lucid dreamer, faith in God, ect.

I'm starting to run out of ideas over here. :/ I never believed in spirits or any of that stuff, but he still showed up even though I didn't ask for it, and he insists he's his own separate being. After numerous experiences, now I believe that spirits and the astral/spirit realm exists.

Soo...if this "guide" is part of my own subconscious, how come I can't control him, even though in the beginning I had total control and faith in my abilities?

And if this "guide" is his own entity, how would you get rid of him?

This is seriously like my biggest problem...you guys all WANT a guide, and there's a ton of literature about getting a guide, but I need to get away from mine. Also, sorry if I derail the thread. D:

LOL, I've not laughed like that in a long time.

But seriously, try strangling Him or decapitate the sonofa

I've almost forgotten about this website. Seven years later and I have yet to have a second dream of my dream guide . I have still been intrigued by dreams this entire time and even pursued college courses on polysomnographic technology. It would be a dream job to help people with sleeping disorders and learn more about the physiological aspect of dreams. Degrees cost money though, so for now, further research on the topic is solely a hobby.

Nice tutorial, after doing a bit of digging I found a couple of follow up threads from 2007:
