Thread: A recurring DC in my dreams which doesn't behave like any other DC's

I suspect this to be something called a spirit guide. It's a little-known term on DV and around the web, but it is basically a higher form of a DG, although it is considered a separate entity. They can help you in your dreams just like a DG, but they can also help you with physical-plane problems that you may be having. The SG can also help you start shared dreaming, as they can be considered people of the dream plane. Since they can do all of this, I suspect they also have the ability to wake you up like she did. I would be surprised if this usually isn't the case. As a person of the dream plane, she can also teach you about it, which can lead into a bunch of stuff I'm still figuring out myself.

DG doesn't seem to fit the description, as she has free-will, while a DG doesn't. They can also be un-summoned I believe. A shared dreamer would make no sense, as they shouldn't have power over you like that in a dream. They would also appear in non-lucids if it was. An anima... that makes no sense, as they wouldn't have power over you, never mind free-will. They would also represent you in some way, but, in the way you say it, it doesn't seem to be that way. SG sounds much better, as it accounts for the power she has over you and her apparent knowledge of the dream plane.

I would suggest asking her about the dream plane and your dreams, maybe even about some personal problems. Now, I'm not saying you should use her as a Q&A service, as she could be a separate entity. Even if you don't follow that, she probably won't answer if it gets annoying. I say you try to use this as an opportunity to learn and experience. Most people don't have the opportunity laid out in front of them like this.

Good luck, and I hope I helped!

EDIT: Also, this idea is very controversial on DV. I just want you to know that, but I still believe it matches best.

It is true that she gave me hints on many occasions that she was different though.
But in the end I was the one who had to confront her, and it was only then that things started to get really interesting.

With Selene it was the opposite. She refused to leave me alone until I acknowledged that she is real.

Its interesting that you say Yuya was holding back though she threw around a few hints at least. I have had a lucid with them that was very clear and very long years ago. We were all living in this city made out of astrial energy made up to look like a European city. We had just moved into a corner apartment since the last "tenets" vacated it. Years before that I had a dream that we (all 3 of us) had lived there for 2 years and a third anniversary was coming. I remember just chatting about pretty common stuff no one throwing any hints around.

I see what your saying and I am going to confront them on it especially the SHG. I have met her away from the bunch, again she surprises me and says "hi" as if I should have know her for a long time. It's frustrating, now I know what amnesia victims must feel like! "and I know you from where?" "you are my friends?" "how did you know I was going to say that?" "how long have we known each other anyways?" I haven't said any of this to them, yet.

I'm gonna be holding them to the Yuya standard; its a high standard but if their friends...



I don't believe that these people are part of my subconscious since I have changes a huge huge amount for the years these guys have been doing the same and being the same. Shouldn't my subconscious have changed too?
But maybe a shared dreamer, I don't see any reasons why not and it would explain why they are seemingly aloof, they are not any more sure about me as I am them. Hhmmm, good point. And here I was thinking DG probably because that would be cool. And although I would love a Yuya this does open the possibility that I can be a guide to them! Or at least a help.

Wow this is all a lot to think about, thanks peeps!

One of my spirit guides told me I am his spirit guide when I am asleep, and he is my spirit guide when he is asleep.

Yes, I have more than one. Dark, Light, Trade, Love, dreams, reality...

Hmm this all really adds a greater range of possibilities than I had been thinking of.

I realized after seeing Scott Pilgrim Vs The World (3 times) that if this is true then this short haired girl in my dreams may actually be walking around someplace. That would be mind blowing!!! Now I HAVE to ask questions of them!

I can't really recall what she looks like.

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World is awesome!
And yes, that would be mind blowing indeed!

I've been researching the terms a bit, and the information I find on the internet is very contradicting.

We have many types of spirit guides that guide us in different areas of our lives. A dream guide is one type of spirit guide.

An angel is a type of spirit guide.

You should draw Selene to the best of your memory. So the other Dreamviews user can compare his Selene to yours. I think that's the best option.

I have only once felt the aura you describe once since childhood, It was the same as the mystical figure I saw during my childhood... It told me last year it's "going to change your life" While I saw A female who I wanted to talk to, And vanished. I wondered what,he meant.

Who's Selene? "My" Selene? Compare to what? That wouldn't work. Have two people draw the same picture of a person you see in waking life. The drawings may not look like the same person.

Amazing though! Hope I find someone like this!

You will. Don't give up.
