Spirit Guides and Lucid Dreams

[Vibe]

Have any posters ever spoken to a spirit guide or got guidance for their life through a lucid dream? This is one of my main aims in becoming lucid so it'd be great to hear others experiences.

I'm interested in trying this but I never remember to search for the guide once I get lucid.

By the time I actually got lucid I tried to get out of the area and I woke up...(this is after 2 botched WILDs) so i forget to summon the Purple Cat of Dream and instead ran down some stairs and sort of floated... Has anyone tried this for flying? Crank dat Superman dance by Soulja Boy? I was think of trying that, sounds like fun in the dream world 24hours though? If your in a self-induced coma then...I guess

Yeah, I've had some amazingly helpful dream guides. And not just helpful for battling zombie hamsters, either. But helpful for dealing with waking-life problems and dilemas. I use LDing to deal with waking-life stuff frequently. My subconscous seems to be quite a bit wiser than my waking self.

I haven't yet but as soon as can achieve high-lucidity LDs, It's one of my main objectives. Speaking with the subconscious just seems so fascinating.

Could u give examples of problems you've had and how a spirit guide helped u in a lucid dream? Thanks Sure. Example one, of dealing with depression: Spoiler for dealing with depression: For a while I was really depressed and feeling direction-less. Every time I sat down to write or draw or anything (I'm an artist) I would just become overwhelmed by despair and a thick feeling of paralysis. I was taking anti-depressants and seeing a counselor, but it wasn't helping. I didn't know what to do to fix it! In a dream I found myself fighting with a giant gray stuffed bunny. I was so pissed! I couldn't kill it, even though I was lucid. I couldn't banish it or get away from it either. Finally after I ripped its head off (and it imediatly re-grew) for the 10th time I realized I must be fighting with some part of myself. So, I manifested a big auditorium and said out loud, "Okay, it is time we had a talk." I walked in. It was full of representations of all the different parts of myself. All of my past dream-guides were there. The giant gray toy bunny was in the front row. They were all yelling at me, but I couldn't make out what they were saying because they were yelling all at once. I kept yelling for them to take turns, that I couldn't hear what they were saying, but none of them listened to me. Finally, the tallest, strongest, most beautiful drag queen I've ever seen came up and said he'd help me. It turned out that my subconscous mind was angry at me, that no matter what it did I still hated my brain. (Which was true. I have a serious mental illness and it has changed my life drastically.) I was told that I needed to start accepting the way my mind works. I needed to stop whistfully looking back at all the things I could do before I "went crazy." I needed to make peace with myself. It has not been easy, but I've done a good job. I got over my depression and have moved into one of the most artistically productive times in my life. Second example (not as long) about spirituality: Spoiler for spirit guide: One of my spirit guides (not the same as a dream guide) is a large red eagle. It comes to me in dreams with instructions on how to progress on my spiritual journey. Often I'm unable to completely remember everything that is said in the dream, but I wake up with a set of specific instructions. These instructions have been about meditation, ways to look at the world, things to think about, or things to do. They are extremely personal dreams that are sacred to me. A third example is that as I use LDing to confront and deal with issues and people from my past, my Dream Guides are there to offer silent support. It is funny to me that certain people that I have struggled to come to terms with, once I've "gotten over" whatever issues I have with them, they nearly always become a DG of mine. They'll just show up and be helpful at random times, like any other DG. I think the reason my DG seem wiser than "I" am is because they have easy access to all of my subconscous thoughts and feelings. They know what is REALLY going on with me. I use my LD contact with them to access that knowledge.

I believe I had this happen last night not sure. Some insight would be great. I was in a dream and inside the dream I was having horrifying false awakenings. All of a sudden I see a woman, she's beautiful and seems to have an aura I think or just a sense of power/peace. She kind of looked like a gypsy type, with a jewel necklace on. We talk I don't remember a lot, but she says 'The nightmares will end and you will sleep good if you tell me what you will do for me?'. This was interesting because I don't think I was lucid until SHE told me I was dreaming. So I'm thinking about what to say and I try one statement first, she just shakes her head and seems like she's about to leave. I say ' I will stop(problem in waking life)'. With this she smiles peacefully and takes my hand up to her mouth puts it in between her teeth while smiling, then suddenly everything goes black(or white) and I slowly wake up in my room fully awake. I'm thinking she was my spirit guide because she knew I was dreaming, and she aided me with something in real life. Not to mention the power I felt around her and the peace as serenity as I woke up.
