Thread: Spirit Guides

I believe I've met one of my Spirit Guides. I didn't recognize him the first time I saw him in a dream, which was pretty profound in itself. After that I encountered him a couple of times, once when I was sick, and he helped me sleep. I don't have much more experience other than that, I haven't really built up a solid relationship with him yet.

I, I dunno. If I think this is what happened, as I said, I had been reading a lot about it. It showed a method for meeting them through meditation. I don't know if I really did or what, but I asked "Can I see you" ( now I'm not 100% sure I actually did, I could very well have been making up things...
anywho
All I saw was a silhoute ( Thats probably not spelled right ) of a guy, in a hat...
So when I was done doing that I got out a peice of paper and jotted down the image I saw..
a few nights, maybe a week. I dreamed of a man, except in detail..and I felt..happy, like "wow this is my guide" type thing..I had an understanding in my mind, and unfortunately, thats all I remember, a face, and the guy with the hat on.



Now, I could in essence be all making this up...Maybe I'm not that sensative to those things, I don't know. But if it is so, this is very interesting

i got a question on the spirit guides thing too. i read that i can just think a question and my guide(s) will answer it. is that true? i mean i dont know the answers i get seem to not be my thoughts. they seem to kinda be my thoughts' thoughts, or my spirit guide.

one time i asked if it was gonna rain, and got the answer yes. shortly, it started to rain, when just a few clouds were in the distance when i asked. the rain was pretty hard.

also, sometimes i ask other questions, but sometimes the answer turns out to be incorrect. so anyway, thats how i talk.

so, were all of these things my spirit guide or my sub or just plain concious talkin to me?

I would be very cautious with the topic of "spirit guides". Believe it or not, demons do exist and in meditation they can posess you. They are not on your say, though they may seem it. All they want to do is hurt you. I would not seek to encounter them, and if you do, do it as a Christian and do not join a cult because your "spirit guide" told you to. Demons will take any chance they can to interact with you and mislead you for their own clandestine reasons (which are not good).

If you want to know about "spirit guides" ask yourself, "For what reason do I want to know". Just because someone told you? If you really need to know, ask a christian forum/helpliney thing as they will know all about this stuff. It might look and sound glamerous but please don't be stupid.

I have a lot of experiences in this since I consider myself a spiritual and intuitive person. I will get to the point…

Spirit Guides do communicate through the dreams. I have learned how to tell which is the real guide or just a wannabe dream character.

A real spirit guide will get you lucid in a dream out of blue. You can sense its energy, its being, its awareness which will snap you to lucidity. Those dreams are often vibrant, vivid, and intense. Unlike DILD, you become lucid by sensing your guide’s energy in your own dream world.

A wannabe dream character won’t get you lucid.

It is that simple; however, you can’t just force your guide to communicate. He/she only can communicate when they are allowed to or that you are open to them. They do it on their will not yours.

Although, using lucid dreaming as the only possible medium to contact your guide is not true. If you are intuitive enough, you can sense your own guide. He/she will reveal him/herself to you when you are ready and open to him/her.

P.S. English needs to invent a word to use for both him/her… lol.

Since you might have more than one... how about:
They will reveal themselves to you when you are ready and open to them.


A famous medium once told me I had (like everyone) several spirit guides. She introduced me to one of them - a native American Shaman (corny? perhaps...) called He Who Walks In Silence. Whatever he is in reality - he has been very helpful from time to time. In my youth I was interested in Martial Arts, Ninjutsu, Tracking etc and he taught me a few tricks - especially about stalking. Later when I got more interested in the spiritual side of these things (T'ai Chi, ESP, Tom Brown...) he had different lessons to teach. Since he never actually said anything at all (he walked in silence) he mainly taught me not to ask stupid questions! (like the monk who's master was a stone).

I have also had various dream guides that I have found for myself (or they found me) at various points in my life - also very useful. In my opinion all these guides are simply aspects of the subconscious that need to be externalised as 'other' in order to have any authority/ credibility/ respect. (I haven't totaly ruled out other explantions)

Demons... they may well be 'real' but they only ever have as much power as you give them. And in my experience they are usually easy to recognise - your intuition will not mislead you (ask yourself "Does this feel good or bad?") Again the only demons I've met have actually been aspects of my self that have resolved themselves into powerful lessons about my fears. The real demons IMO are the profiteers who are knowingly abusing this planet and its inhabitants (granted they may be 'possesed' - it would explain alot - either that or they are crazy and/ or ignorant)

I've been wanting to talk about similar experiences i've been having with reoccuring "things" in my dreams.

It began when i noticed that certain characters in my dream were giving me the same feeling. I had the feeling i was (and am) being watched and examined by something that was manifesting itself as someone close to me who i knew.

I kept noticing that i was never alone in my dreams, there was nearly always someone there i was just casually hanging out with, my mother, father, sister, various friends, boyfriend, even my dog. But the feeling i received from them was always the same, like it was the same being, asking me questions and just studying me. I would encounter other dream characters but this being was always the focus.

The few times I have gained lucidity when the being has been there, my dream has changed all around me, but this one being seems to gain vibrancy and truly seems separate from the rest of my dream.

At first i was really angry and frightened about this being and screamed at it to tell me what it was and to explain what it was doing but my dream quickly faded and i woke up. Another time i tried to be nicer and calmer (although still petrified) and introduced myself, asking its name, but it was still silent and just smiled a little.

Of course this may be the result of reading too much Carlos Castanada and a wild imagination but i'm becoming convinced that there is another consciousness meeting me in my dreams.

Please write to me if you have experienced anything similar or have any ideas.

for the record:::::: My interest in finding my spirit guides lies within my interest of.....If I'm the slight bit intuative...I want to utilize it.. I don't want such a precious gift to goto waste. I am not by other means trying to become this..I simply want to "get intouch" with myself..so to say. I am a christian, and anything I set out to do spiritually I Pray to my lord ot help me........


SO to the point:::

I'm interest in "dream guides" and one night went lucid..alalalalla was in a mall screamed for my "dream guide" and Found her..she was sitting on the floor and I asked her directly "are you my dream guide" "yes" I may have one time changed words and said "spirit" I don't know.
but anywho...2 times in the dream she told me "Something bad will happen in april" I tried to get her to explain and she wouldn't.....I asked her a third time and she left..now before i had even asked her if she was my dream guide or w/e..I had asked several random DC's....and one DC i KNEW wasn't my dreamguide..they all said no ( heh I'm going offtopic in my own topic ) but point pulling this back...
Could our "dream guides" Be in a way..Our "Spirit guides" and often enough we misunderstand one to be the other?

sorry for going off topic there in your topic. i tend to rant. i think we are talking about entirely different experiences and i really can't offer you any advice - but happy lucid dreaming!

When you talk to your spirit guides u will get a response but it may sound like your voice for a while till u practice talking to them and sometimes they are incorrect because spirit guides dont know everything thats gona happen some can see the future some cant just depends. My spirit guides is a tiger and a wolf, i first talked to the tiger and heard his voice his name is Sam at first i wasnt sure if it really was him but i was told by him to trust what u hear the wolf name is Riku nickname blue if u talk to ur spirit guides u will get to know each other more and become even closer than before. most likely u knew ur spirit gudies in a past life just how i did. So just trust what u hear and have a open mind to the possibility.

P.S i hope this helps u if u need more answers about them dont hesitate to ask i got all the answers u need. :3

The only experience I've had of being watched was a few weeks ago, as I tried to extend my awareness further into what I feel that's like fate or abstract will. But it was impersonal, like a sky-wide all seeing eye, not a particular being.

My experience of the 'muse' which seems to design some of my dreams is similar to what you describe, in that it rarely speaks or takes a form, and has never provided a name. I think its not an individual being as we would usually conceive of such, and avoids appearing as one for the sake of avoiding a wrong impression. But it seems to have intelligence, will, and even a sense of humor. My sister had a dream in this context about an 'entity' that wished to be understood as not a 'being' and not an 'it'. I suspect that I'm actually lumping different beings, entities, and parts of myself together under one heading, like an infant that can't distinguish between people.

You might trying to approach the watcher as if it is a part of yourself, try thinking from its perspective. Even if its not precisely you, there may be a kindredness, and it may be able to communicate something that way. Also, you might try paying more attention to how if feels, and less attention to the visual aspect of the dream. For me, almost all of the content seems to come through feeling that way. And you also might try paying attention to that feeling while awake also, even though you can't see it then.

Over 20 years ago I had an experience where I had a severe and painful ear infection which kept me awake for 36 hours. I observed that my usual emotional pain was eclipsed by the physical pain. So I wondered what else was normally eclipsed by the emotional pain. That resulted in an experience of a sort of deep and enduring joy that left me happy for weeks. At that same time, when thinking in that direction, it seemed that I became aware of a foreign entity, as if always hiding inside me and right behind my awareness. There is no picture with this, just a feeling. It asked me if it could 'stay'. Afterwards I didn't remember how I answered, as if it diverted my attention or hid the memory, and that always bothered me a little bit. Maybe it wanted to make the request, but didn't want to chance a negative answer.

In theory this other spirit could be a part of myself, so strongly dissociated that I don't recognize it as me. I'm not sure there's a truly meaningful distinction between that and it being 'foreign' though. Imagine you could divide your mind in half, creating a split personality. Once independent, you would not want to coerce the two parts back together, you would want them to either exist semi-independently or reintegrate willingly. Similarly, two spirits that started out separate could conceivably decide to join, in varying degrees. And in either case certain things could be shared in common by fate and necessity that naturally bind you together. So what it comes down to for me is I want to be treated rightly and honestly., and I want to treat everyone else that way, and I expect that of other people or spirits who want to be close to me.

I'm a big proponent of discovering other parts of oneself, feeling, desire, hatred, courage, gratitude, etc., not necessarily because its the answer for everyone, but its because its what I know, and it seems to be working for me, at least in a fashion. The 'bad' parts can't be improved by locking them away, they need to be listened to, understood, disciplined, and nurtured, like children. The joy I mentioned is always there for me now, not eclipsed by the gloom, though that is still present also, and still something I'm trying to understand better and deal with.

I think my dream guide IS my spirit guide. I haven't had a chance to talk to my DG/SG, as the last time I saw him was only the second time being lucid (first time I had time to do anything). When I last saw him, I was lucid and couldn't do ANYTHING. Suddenly he opened the door to his shop (I was in the city), and showed me to his apartment up stairs. The whole time I had this very calming feeling about the DC (My DG/SG??)... it felt as though I had known him for a very long time, yet I couldn't pin point how. When we both got up stairs, he started showing me how to manipulate the dream world, one trick at a time, and then he showed me down this hallway of temptations (that I passed without giving in). And then suddenly I was in a white void. Ever since that LD, I've been able to do ANYTHING in a LD, and I mean ANYTHING. The next lucid dream after that lasted 4-5 hours as well.

Anyways, I was wondering if someone had a second opinion on what exactly happened to me... the reason I think he was my spirit guide, is because he just seemed so familiar... like I've known him for lifetimes. Also, he seemed to have my voice (He said only two things, "Psst, come here," and "You are ready"), which happens to be the same voice I heard when I died once. Just when I thought I was dead for good, this voice told me "LIVE!", and that's when I regained consciousness.

What do you guys think of this? DG? SG? Both? Just a DC? Let me know...

well i have two spirits guides a female name lyfe and a demon thingy named judgement i know demons are evil and bad and what not but hes diferent, i know it would be very hard to explain him to help make yal understand but ya lol, but lyfe shes like a mother figure for me and a friend. she helps alot, judgement on the other hand, man thats a story for another day but ya spirits guides are very real you can have multiple ones and they can be good or evil and they can be humans, demons, animals etc, they choose you for there and your own reasons believe it or not and depending on how you attempt to coexist with them depends on how your experience with them will be i hope i helped
