      An extended question on Dream Guides...

      I apologize upfront for my double post but I figured that it might never get noticed four pages into the other post about dream guides so I though I'd repost it in a new thread!

      I'm really interested to hear people's opinions on it.

      The Dream Guide Thread was an interesting post, and it caught my attention when I started reading because, when I was a kid I used to have nightmares about the wind.

      But it wasn't the wind as an element but more of an entity. The wind was a being that would constantly haunt me or try to kill me.

      Well anyways I had this one dream where the wind was strangling me with my curtains (this post is sounding so ridiculous right now), anyways I called to my mom and she comes out with this annoyed look on her face and says 'You two should stop fighting and be friends'.

      And that was it, we just agreed to suddenly be friends, but it didn't end there. Every dream I had after that if I ever got into trouble, like a nightmare, I could call on the wind and it would come and battle away any monsters or bad things that were attacking me in my dreams.

      Eventually I grew out of those dreams, but that transition was so amazing and random, I just have no idea why it happend. I'm wondering if maybe the wind was my dream guide. It was a lot like my protector, I used to have A LOT of nightmares, so much so that I would never lie on my sides when I went to bed for fear of dreaming.

      Anyways when the wind became my friend in my dreams, the nightmares eventually stopped happening, and since then I've only had a nightmare once in a while. Can anyone explan this?

      I guess in a way you can say that the wind was your dream guide, or perhaps more your dream helper.

      You did the right thing when it comes to overcoming nightmares: befriending your enemies. I find it interesting how the wind went from being your worst enemy to being your best friend.

      I, too used the same technique to overcome lucid nightmares when I was a kid: I asked my enemies if they wanted to be my friend. It worked for me, too.

      I don't know if I would call this a dream guide per se, more of an entity that your subconcious mind created and reformed to help you overcome your fears. From what I understand, a DG helps you in your dreams by explaining things to you, helping you use your powers, and acting on your behalf. If this entity only protected you, it probebly wasn't your DG.
      "Sir, we are surrounded." "Good, then we may attack in any direction."

      I have also had the experience of enemies from my dreams becoming friends and helpers. I don't think something has to have a physical body to be a DG.
