The discussion of Jungian philosophy has been helpful. I think that is an important perspective for those of us who wish to interpret these dreams.

Interesting about Dream Guides and Spirit Guides. But aren't these guides originating from somewhere within our subconscious? And doesn't that imply that we already know, at some level, the knowledge that they impart? I'll be on the lookout for both.

I'm wondering about the more mundane characters. Last night in my fourth and final dream I stood off to the side of a snack bar and watched a number of people come up and order food. I would not say I was fully lucid in this dream but I was fully there. I did not recognize and of these DCs and none of them interacted with me in the slightest. But they were all very specific people with individual characteristics and mannerisms, as were the two ladies behind the counter.

The dream before that contained a very lucid event with a DC that I knew well as he is a work colleague. He drove us off a cliff in his car. That's seemed about right for him. He said to me very clearly...."Guess that's it for us, Mate." (He is Australian). I said, just as clearly....."I don't think so. This is a dream." I stepped out of the car into the air and the car passed down out of my consciousness. I remember looking down calmly and seeing a river valley far, far below me. Then, of course, I woke up. That DC was an easy one to understand.
