Thread: Finding Your Dreamguide (3 In 1 )

This might be a bit soon but i tried it this morning.

I tend to have a Lucid dream almost every morning but i tend to try and play god in them so i usually leave the dream alone and let it play out on its own but this time i asked "Do i have a dream guide?" and as i was turning around i heard a yes and saw the girl she looked different but the moment i saw her it was as if a bolt of electricity shot through me.

After that i remember sitting at a table outside the restaurant i work and had a piece of paper with nonsense on it except for the last 3 lines but i cant remember what they were

I fell asleep again and when i woke up again it was all kinda vague now im not sure if it happened or my mind made it up.

I posted as much as i can remember and im asking those of you who can talk to their DGs was it real or just a dream?

Are DGs real? Good question. Are dreams real? Is this life real?

Back to topic, yes, DGs are very real. I have yet to discover whether they are spiritual entities on the astral plane (no idea about THAT), or reoccuring DCs with their own chains of thoughts or actions. I would either put them down as reoccuring DCs or manifestations of your personality (or subconscious, can't be sure :S) in a dream. There is no difference between DGs, except the feel a lot different. You just feel so familiar, so 'in tune' with them. Like you do with a childhood friend or a lover. You just feel so HAPPY. In short, DGs produce a wholly different type of feeling compared to regular DCs, and did I mention they have their own minds and power to make decisions? Tell a DC, 'Bring me a soda!', and you get a soda. Tell my DG that and you get a kick. ^_^

In my experience, a lot seems to depend on whether deep inside you believe you can get to your DG or not. If all you get from DC's is a "No" when you ask them for help, it might be nothing more than the subconscious (or conscious) fear of failure. Me, I made numerous attempts - asking DC's, yelling at the sky, talking to myself, trying to find my DG in my cellphone's address book. All to no avail. Then I remembered one dream I had, in which I was leaving an apartment, in which I spent a while talking to a girl. She seemed sad about me leaving, so I promised her I'd be back. And somehow, even when I woke up, it made sense to me that I have to go back and find her. Even though most dreams - no matter how crazy, vivid and captivating - eventually lose importance, this one got me thinking. So now in my LD's I'm trying to get back to that place - which is an actual place, a building in my hometown. A bunch of times I almost made it. One time, I went there by bike and was not more than 200 meters away from the place when I woke up. The other time, I was even closer, but on foot. But then I saw my grandma, so I asked her about my DG, and she pointed me down the street I was walking, at the end of which the said building is located. So I think I might be on to something here. And maybe that belief is what it's all about. Maybe if I *believe* I can meet her there, she'll step forward and meet me halfway?

I'm not sure who my DG is yet, but there are two people I have met in my dreams who could be them... I kinda forgot to ask if they were...

YES! GO FOR IT!

You are definitely on the right track! Keep at it and your subconscious will respond soon! Do message me of any progress.

I had an interesting dream last night... I became lucid, but for some reason doing a reality check didn't even cross my mind, but I decided I wanted to try and communicate with my DG so I went into another room, because there were tons and tons of people around making tons and tons of noise...

I could still hear it in the other room and I've never been good at dream control so I just opened the door and told them all to shut the hell up basically. And they did. Then I asked "Do I have a dream guide" and this voice replied "yes" so I asked "Can I see my dream guide?" but there was no reply and a few seconds later, I woke up.

Yeah dream guides can tricky to find and you should not stop searching!
I found mine about 7 months ago from beach restaurants cellars bed just waiting for me there.
She talks pretty weirdly and everything she does is somehow symbolic referring to "similarity" in between us.
Her name is Vetta Sarala and i have seen her only 2 times this far(though i have sought for her 3 times) still those encounters have memorable moments as her "personality" in sea of DCs is stunning, one character "higher than the rest" ,no drone of the story but seemingly real person outside my forced authority.
Unique
In my case I have pretty much screwd up both encounters by not giving her enough space with my constant rush to have fun, so for me and you rest when you find you guide: listen, give, receive.
They have lot to give to you if just have the time...

Great tutorial btw

Linnypig: Yeah, don't you hate it when that happens? I woke up a bunch of times in a similar situation, since my main goal in those particular LD's was to find my DG, so if they said I couldn't/nobody responded, it defeated the purpose
DreamState66: Thanks for that story, because it makes me even more certain that I might've taken the wrong approach in virtually spewing my lungs out trying to get to her. In my LD's, I still take too much physical effort to do things, like running, which seems to wears me out and raise my pulse just as it does in real life - which eventually causes me to wake up. In some of these dreams, I managed to overcome the obstacle by flying or finding a bike, which makes things SO much easier - but still doesn't get me there. I think it's all about *knowing* she'll be there and she'll appear when the time is right. Just as I kept telling myself while awake that there'd be a bike waiting for me in my LD - so this one time, I just found it, standing there, waiting, without even thinking about it while in the dream.

And today I had a dream that I think bears some significance... Not a lucid dream, just a regular one, but still intriguing. So I was cutting my own hair with a razor - much shorter than I usually get my hair done, too. I take this to be a symbol - of me trying something new, and actually loving it. Of a positive change. And I remember some girl being around when I did that. A friend... who I think was someone special. I can't remember what she looked like, I didn't even remember the dream upon waking up, I recalled it later in the morning... Plus, I only slept like 6 hours (stupid neighbors!), and that's a killer for my dream recall.
But... it was still something. Let's see how things unfold...

I think I have seen my DG but only in non-lucid dreams. Next time I LD I'll try to remember to look for her. In my latest one things got kinda out of control with the plot and I spent all my time dealing with that instead of doing what I wanted to do which was find her or practice dream control in a quiet environment not one where people are trying to kill me...

Wow it never occurred to me that I may not have met my dream guide yet because I am not ready, I thought I just wasn't going about the search right.

How do you know if you are ready/not ready to find ur DG, i believe im ready. but... every time im lucid. i try to find my DG. ive tried shouting for them, trying to summon them behind doors. ive even asked a dc to take me to my dg, but they ALWAYS trick me. my DCs are Freakin bastards i tell ya. and everytime ive "found" my DG its just been a DC pretending, its sooo frustrating. especially coz i once found who i thought was my DG, he was a very different DC, more intellegent than usual. and clearer to look at. my dcs are often blurry or their features change alot. and i remember speaking for him for some time and asking if he was my DG he said he was very sorry but he wasnt.. then i laughed and asked if he could be? and he said sorry im not asigned to you :s but anywho. im getting very.. frustrated.. where is my DG and why cant i find them

You should check Jungs character archetypes, interesting stuff... Archetype - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I find my DG to be hybrid of "wise old woman" and "anima"

So can one not have a dream guide? Every time I ask I get the same answer - No.

There's a reason you keep getting the same answer. Asking again won't change it

Hmm... NoddyMaye got me thinking with the DG's response "Sorry, I'm not assigned to you"...

In other news... As a means of dream incubation, I went to that place I think my DG is at, but in real life. I was very focussed, and kept imagining it was just a dream and she'd walk up to me. To no avail, unfortunately. Maybe because I ended up distracted - and annoyed - by something else. But I've made this a part of my daily routine: to instinctively assume the world around me is a dream and do RC's only to see if maybe I'm wrong. Seems to help - I had two LD's last night!

yeah got me thinking too... buttt i just want to find my dream guide. everytime recently that i ask a dc if i have a dg.they give me this cheaky smile and say yes.. i wish i knew what they were smiling about lol and i wish they would help me find my dg..ohhh well.. just gotta wait it out i guess.

Hm, maybe they are smiling and suggesting that you are your own dream guide? I don't know. I saw a post the other day which (to me) suggested you could create your own dream guide. The poster had stated the dream guide will conform to your expectations... I've seen others say pretty much the opposite, but since I haven't gotten the chance to properly meet mine yet I can't say. Maybe the guide is only "better" than your other DCs because you make it so?

Optimism is the best policy! I am waiting for the wonderful moment when I find my own personal DG! Anxiously waiting, that is ^.^

I've been looking for my DG in three LDs and in the first one I had no answer. In The second one, an old woman said to me: "you are your DG". And in the 3rd one, a DC with the appearance of my mother smiled while levitating in front of me BEFORE I tried to do so to make her realize we were in a dream. I said to her: "I've not found my DG." And, with her smile in her face, he replied: "But, weren't you your own DG?". She was looking directly to my eyes, but apart from having a personality (my other DCs don't read my thoughts and anticipate my actions, and don't answer with sarcasm -yet) I didn't felt this great awe feeling.

Maybe I don't want my mom to be my DG (although she has been my RG -reality guide- all my life), but I'm now thinking about remembering some insightful nonlucid dreams where the figure of a teacher/guide was present where I really felt a great reverence for these DCs.

Shit I'm now being shocked by one of my most precious dreams, where a tribal young girl, supervised by a wise old tribal man (a shaman), in a tropical river meander, after a ritual that involved eating a strange paste, said to me: "With this eye (her left eye) I can see the Other World. Now you also can do it." What a great wholeness I felt in that dream... I even entered the Gates of the Underworld, guarded by the Serpent Guard and watched by the Cut off Head.

I asked her name also. Ksheenia or Ksheela was it. Tonight I'm gonna find her.

It seems like most of us expect our DG to be an attractive person of the opposite sex, doesn't it? I know I do! And I *think* something happened in my dream last night. In that dream I met a girl on the bus - and there was this instant simpatico. We had a short little chat, then she went away for a second - and when I got out on my bus stop, I noticed she did, too. She came up to me, we talked a little, all smiles, and then out of nowhere, she just huggled me. I asked her why she did, and she said "I don't know, I just like you a lot!". Nicest thing that happened to me in a WHILE. Then we went to a nearby booksture to indulge in some book hunting... Lots of fun! And I can't tell whether she was just a very nice DC or... perhaps... my DG. I actually went as far as telling her I believe that she in fact is my DG. It was something I just couldn't help myself with, I had to say it out loud. Kind of like "I think I'm in love with you".
And after this intense confession.... I woke up!
At first I felt a little silly, because I felt I rushed it. And also, all these years I believed someone else to be my DG - a girl I met once in my dream, 2,5 years ago, whom I promised I'd be back. But then I realized the bookstore we were at was probably the same building the other girl lived in. And the same place I'd been trying to reach in my previous LD's and never managed to. And maybe I was wrong about the other girl. Or maybe they are both one "person"? They looked different, but they could be one anima in different forms? Hmm...
Either way, it was the nicest - and probably the most intensely realistic - dream I had in a WHILE. My dream recall had dropped to almost zero over the past month or so, and the only dreams I could remember were either annoying (being in college again) or stressful (I keep having these Prison Break dreams), and it's been months since my last LD. This one wasn't fully lucid all the way, but I had moments of full lucidity. And the girl... There was something about her. The way she looked at me, straight in the eye... I don't know. In most LD's DC's were mostly hard to talk to - either very quiet and subservient or totally uncooperative. This one... Our conversation was very lively - and at one point she even corrected me. A small mistake on my part that I wasn't aware of - and was surprised she noticed and corrected it, since she's supposed to be a part of my mind. Hmmm...

Whether or not DG's exist isn't up to the person. They either exist as a whole, or not at all. I doubt you can just believe in one and suddenly have one, if that happens, I think it's just your mind making a DC be independent, or seem different. Then again, I could be wrong, we simply do not know.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think my DG may be a blue canary. It was there in my first lucid dream and I think it made me do an R.C., out of nowhere. I don't know.

I just believe that a DG is a DC we place a greater sense of intelligence/understanding on. But I'm fine with respecting the opinions of people such as the OP.

Regardless, even I still think it would be nice to have a recurring DC or a "DG" that I personally spend more time with.

I remembered another thing from that dream I described above that might be of some importance... The girl's job was to check if everyone on the bus has a valid ticket. So when we talked about it later, she said her job isn't about punishing, it's about checking if everything is as it should be. Only after I pondered on these words yesterday did it occur to me it might carry a deeper meaning and that in fact I might've met my DG.

i'm guessing your dream guide is the part of your subconcious that you can actually interract with in your dreams, perhaps the guides appearance is either a personification of people youve seen and interracted with in the real world, made into a form you are comfortable with.....or perhaps..if you believe in such things, someone from one of your msany past lives that may still be in subconcious or somewhere acting as an interface to your subconcious.....perhaps?
