Thread: Dream Guides in Our Waking Life

A "dream guide" seems to be one of the deepest parts of your unconscious - whether or not there's a part of it outside your unconscious I don't really know, but it would be really cool if there were!

Well, I communicate with her during the day (with lucid daydreams or hallucinations?? idk) mostly...but I haven't had much progress of lucid dreams yet. I just got my Remee ^.^

That's interesting. I have heard of someone feel their Dream Guide's presence throughout the day but never communicating with them. Do you control when you communicate with your Dream Guide or is it random?

My question is do you believe in the existence of a dream guide and do you think that they are watching you in your waking life?

Imo, that's like asking us if we believe there is an Emotion Guide that helps us recall details of our memories during the day. There isn't need for mystification if you address the concept of Dream Guide within the neuroscience paradigm of consciousness as a unity product resulting off several brain processes that possess their own functions and originate several drives to the organism. So you end up realizing the question is a false dualism: dream guides exist, in one way or another, and theoretically they indeed watch us over our waking life....because they are yet a brain manifestation we created.

The concept of Dream Guide is foggy at best, because there is no general consensus over what can represent a dream guide:
- there isn't any real difference between a Dream Guide and a more complex Dream character that reveals interest/knowledge towards the dreamer;
- many/most reports of people finding their Dream Guides seem to occur while the person knows what a Dream Guide is (and for those who didn't, the previous point still applies);
- due the nature of the experience, it's natural to expect some mysticism to manifest itself into the dream, and what better than a character that knows a great deal about the dreamer? It should be a lot more natural than we'd think, considering we're the ones creating the whole experience.

I met people that not only were capable of reading my thoughts, but knew exactly how to affect me (both positively and negatively): can I really discriminate which ones are my DG's or not? To the argument "a DG is there for you, not to drive you away", how do you know they aren't helping me with a particular dream obstacle? By now it seems that there isn't a dream guide.....there are simply a degree of complexity and "consciousness" in the dream characters that populate the dream. But we are like this all the time, it's not something bound to the dream if it wasn't for the direct representation it has. This quote by Gurdjieff talks about this:

We think that if a man is called Ivan he is always Ivan. Nothing of the kind. Now he is Ivan, in another minute he is Peter, and a minute later he is Nicholas, Sergius, Matthew, Simon. And all of you think he is Ivan. You know that Ivan cannot do a certain thing. He cannot tell a lie for instance. Then you find he has told a lie and your are surprised he could have done so. And, indeed, Ivan cannot lie; it is Nicholas who lied. And when the opportunity presents itself Nicholas cannot help lying. You will be astonished when you realize what a multitude of these Ivans and Nicholases live in one man. If you learn to observe them there is no need to go to a cinema.

The more i read your posts, the more i feel like we should connect! I also bought the remee before. And i also speak with this person in my head. I wouldnt call her my dream guide. Just a companion.

I know i've told you before, but i can seriously help you consistently lucid dream within a week! You already have the potential

Yes, but I call them Spirit Guides

I believe it is your Spirit Guides who play the paper of a Dream Guide, as they help you with your interests as long as they serve your highest good without negatively affecting other's free will.

You can connect with them through meditation!

Spoiler for How to connect with your Spirit/Dream Guides in waking:

I want to share with you how to connect with your Spirit Guides, as to develop the ability to connect with them and to channel them. I do recommend you to do a five minutes meditation exercise. You do not want to go deep on this meditation, but just to clear your mind a little bit and balance your energy. The only intent you are going to set with this meditation is to connect with your Spirit Guides. Welcome any being of Light that has the highest purpose and highest energy. Be grateful for them to come and connect with you through telepathic connection.

As you are done with this, head to a notepad or a computer with an empty word document. Type or write down a question you want to ask them. Make sure the question is open ended to get the best information. Once you do, take another deep breath, invite your guides in and start to write everything that comes to your mind. At first, you might be writing gibberish information, most likely about current thoughts, chores to do, feelings, etc. After a while of typing down some venting information, you will realize that you are typing things that go related with your question. It is possible that you might not even be aware of what you are writing. Do not judge or doubt the information that comes, just write it down as it comes to you and you will realize that you are typing what your guides have to share with you through telepathic connection.

Do not feel discouraged if nothing comes up on the few tries.
