Spirit Guides - Angels, Demons, or part of your subconscious

I have been lucid dreaming for a long time naturally but just started to work on doing it intentionally and researching about it. A common thing people tend to do is try to find their spirit guide. I am really kind of skeptical about that type of thing because I'm not big into any sort of supernatural stuff but I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I have tried to find my spirit guide on at least five different occasions and all of them have turned out poorly. The first time I called out for my spirit guide and this white and red alien looking being appeared. It was very ominous and definitely not my spirit guide. I have read all kinds of things about having an "instant connection" and feeling safe with your sprit guide. So I flew away from that one. The next few times I didn't have any luck. Then I asked a DC if she was my spirit guide and she said yes. She said her name was Marla. She didn't really give me any advice or anything when I asked her and I didn't feel any connection so I don't believe she is my spirit guide either. The last time I tried to find my spirit guide I asked a DC and his eyes turned yellow. Then an exact copy of him appeared. They said something like "you are capable of great evil"... then I smashed them together with my telekinesis cause they were freaking me out. I don't know what to think. Could these DC's really be demons or angels or spirit guides? and why does it always go poorly when I look for my spirit guide.

If you don't have the feeling that they are your Guide, then they aren't. Not that I am that much of an expert, but I'm sure you would recognize him/her instantly

By spirit guide do you mean dream guide? And angels/demons are just part of your subconscious.

Instead of thinking it as supernatural wierd thing think of it as your friend and you may have a better chance to find them. Mine is a stickman :D

spirit guide, dream guide. It seems the same to me. And I don't think of is as all that weird. I honestly figured if that stuff is all BS then my subconscious would come up with something cool anyway. But as I said before, not been very successful. And for the record I dont really believe in much... angels, demons, what have you so it was weird when these things started showing up in my dreams.

I like to think of all noteworthy dream characters as guides. Some characters seem to stand out more than others. I have a few returning characters that I know I can count on for some guaranteed bizarre shit. I rarely get much wisdom out of them, but it is always fun.
