Sometimes a DC may show up, who acts as an independent entity and shows inteligence beyond that of what you think you have. This could be another dreamer or some entity inhabiting the dream world, or manifestation of your mind. They may be able to answer questions and perhaps act as a DG.
But if you are looking for a true dream guide, as in spiritual guide, a protector, a guardian, a teacher, don't expect him to show up as a cartoon character. I'm not saying he can't, but if you summon a video game character, he may asume you are not serious in your quest for self-discovery, you just want to play and have fun. The relationship would be something like between jedi master and a padawan. I don't think a padawan would even dream of altering his masters appearance or anything else, simply out of respect and because he is a student and master is a teacher.
A true DG may observe you form a distance, gage your progress and perhaps show himself to you when he deems you worthy of being taught something more than how to fly and other fun stuff, or maybe when you express the desire to be taught while you meditate and such.
All this is just the way I would expect it to happen (an maybe this will be my disadvantage). I have no experience with DG, so don't take me absolutely seriously.
