Dream characters are a manifestation of our own imagination. So consciously and subconsciously, I believe you are your own dream guide.[/b]
Exactly, you are your own dream guide. Some parts of our mind fully understand what we are capable of in the dream world. I think of the dream guide character as a character that represents the part of our mind that most fully understands all the possibilities of the dream world, and appears to show the other parts of our mind, closer to the conscious level, what those possibilities are. Nothing new-ageish, just a reminder to ourselves of what we are capable of.
