and he showed himself to me.
i would say if you lucid dream just ask to meet him plainly and if you're mean to, it will show itself to you.
everyone's experience will be different but just thought i would share how it happened for me.
And i could be possible that the woman in your dream is your dream guide but Its best to ask them to make 100% sure, i asked mine 3 times
and he said yes each time, dream guides wont lie to you and from what i've read dream characters wont lie on the third time.
best of luck!! :)
