I had never heard of a dream guide until I joined this forum a few days ago. So last night when I acheived lucidity (I was in some sort of hotel-convention center) I shouted "Where is my dream guide".

I heard some laughing behind me so I turned around and saw this group of little kids - one of whom was recognisable as my friend's little brother, only he was much younger than he is now.
He said that he was my dream guide. I didn't really question it I just thought that he must be telling the truth so I tried asking him where his sister was. "behind you" he said. I looked and she was there. I looked back and asked him what room I was staying in. "157" he replied.
Right.
I thought I'd go explore and see where my "room" was in this place. When I got to 157 I had to walk through the door (since I couldn't remember having a key) and I ended up in someone elses room. I tried looking for Tristan (my supposed DG) but couldn't find him again.

My questions are as follows:

Do you think that he was my "real" DG, or is it possible that it was just another DC playing tricks on me?

Has anyone else had a similar experience while searching for their DGs?

Why would your subconcious start playing tricks like that on itself?
