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

Thank you all for your replies!
Sorry for replying so late, I've been quite busy the past few days (exams).
I don't really feel like I have a full understanding of the situation yet, but thanks to these posts and another encounter with "her", I feel like I have a better understanding of it now.

I've had bad dream recall for the past few days (most likely due to the exams), but as I already said, I encountered her once more, which differs quite a bit from the other encounters I've had with her before.

• She was there right after I became lucid, and she wasn't introduced to me like she usually is, she was basically right next to me and said "hi", and I immediately recognized her.
• She didn't play the role of another character like she always did, she was just "herself"
• I'm pretty sure we were on another planet. We were walking on water (she showed me how to)
• I asked her if she was a/my dream guide. She pondered for a bit and replied (I don't remember her exact words) that it's complicated, and thus hard to explain (I felt she knew I had bad dream recall, and this was a bad time to try to explain it.)
• She referred to the dream world as "her world" (In the sense of this is where she lives)
• The dream was very short unfortunately. While walking on the water she said she was sorry, but I would have to leave very soon. I asked why and she said "Your alarm clock is ringing."
  This made me sad, because I still had many questions for her. With a nice smile she jokingly said: "Don't worry, I won't run away." (She will always be in the dream world). This made me laugh and I woke up to my alarm clock, which had been ringing for over half a minute.

I was very happy to meet her again. Due to the bad dream recall I was afraid I wouldn't.
I also made a sketch of her after waking up, in the hopes of being able to remember her more clearly.
I plan on turning it into a painting once I'm done with my exams.

Unfortunately I read your post only after meeting her again, I think my questions would have been more precise, had I read it sooner.
Your description of a SG does fit remarkably well.
As mentioned earlier, she did say that she was an inhabitant of the dream world, and she is very knowledgeable about it.
She also has full access to all my memories, including all my thoughts and emotions.

Do you know where I can find more information about Spirit Guides?
I don't mind that the idea is a bit controversial.
I'm very open minded, and what you said is pretty much spot on, so I see no reason not to try to get my hands on more information, I really want to learn more on the subject.

Giving answers like "where you're supposed to be" is something she's done quite a few times, or telling me that things I find weird are perfectly normal "they're supposed to be there".
I also have the feeling that we cannot talk about her until she brings me to another place with no other DC's. Her telling you "not here" reminded me of that.


As for finding her... I don't know... She always seems to find me.
I never tried to actively search for her, except for my last dream, where she was already waiting for me.
If I'd try to search for her though, I would try to find her aura. It's very strong, so I can sense it from very far away.
I'm not sure if you've experienced this though, and to be honest, I don't really know how to explain it. As I said in my first post, it's like a 6th sense, you can feel the presence of other people and animals.

Asking around like Snowboy suggested sounds like a good idea as well.


Cheers,
