      Your Dream Guide

      I know this topic has been posted many times, but it needs renewing once in a while

      For all new to LD'ing: A dream guide is an entity that guides you through your dreams, and possibly your life. They are usually difficult to find, but well worth it.

      Feel free to refrain from giving info that intrudes on your Guide's privacy. On that note, feel free to post everything if you want! Personality, name, appearance, experiences... etc. are all fair game.

      So you're saying that a dream guide is something in actual existence? As in everyone has this One specific entity? Or are you saying that's the name given to those who identify a DC that's "special", such as a reoccurring DC?

      If the former, that implies some spiritual/astral inference, no?

      I may be totally wrong here, but I think ultimately your dream guide or Guru, is "You".

      I agree.

      Of course there's no harm in thinking of a dream guide as another person. It is, after all, likely to be a part of you you don't normally have access to. Perhaps it is a hidden side of your personality. In a way, this makes it another "person" who may have insight you don't normally have.

      Whatever form your dream guide takes, it is a manifestation of yourself.

      If it isn’t,… be real careful of it!!!

      Dreams are very personal, private and sacred... If some other entity is entering your dreams and taking control, watch out!

      ... just a word of warning.

      I agree completely. Not to sound insulting to some people, but I usually don't go out on a limb for new age stuff, I highly, highly doubt my Dream Guide is actually a seperate entity. Rather, it is my subconscious, or a manifestation of it, and so knows about me even more than I usually do myself.

      Kind of on a side note, treat your subconscious well. Never say you are bad at something, or put yourself down, even in jest. Our subconscious is like our second CPU, it handles everything that would take up too much effort in everyday life, so, for example, it recognizes an expression as slightly distraught and then "tells" you, rather than you specifically remembering that that was a distraught face, or picks up a tone in someone's voice, or gives you a bad feeling about something. Different from your conscience in that it doesn't process morals, it is essentially an intelligent servant of yourself. So when you "meet" it in it's enviroment (Which dreams are exclusively; your subconscious processing information) it recognizes and greets you intelligently.

      This is all scientifically backed, except for the idea of a Dream Guide, which has yet to be made scientifically official. (Dreams are hard to prove)

      So be nice to it, without each other you would vegetate. It's just a passive consciousness that becomes active in your sleep.

      That sounds like a healthy attitude.

      In your dreams,... you ultimately meet yourself.

      I think I have met a DG of mine once or twice. Don't really remember what he looked like though. I just remember him trying to teach my how to fly (land) and trying to teach me how to make objects appear in my dreams.

      One of the last times I remember him trying to teach me something was how to control a natural ability that I have but I have not really been lucid since to try it out on my own.

      Although I have to say because of the nature of what I personally believe in, I believe that some DG's are just your self teaching you how to do things in which you personally think that you need help with or guidance with, your deeper/inner self if you will. But other times (like with my natural ability) I believe that it is more then you guiding your self and it is another entity another person if you will who is charged with the tastk of guiding you and helping you.

      Take Care,
      Anna

      I have had conversations with my “inner voice” in lucid states of consciousness,… timeless, formless and universal. I don’t usually understand what it is trying to tell me, because it speaks in poetry, symbolism and riddles.

      All I know is…

      IT’S BEAUTIFUL !!!

      Here’s a few examples of what my “dream guide” has told me in response to specific questions which seemed unrelated:

      “If you follow the path you are on in a straight line, you will eventually return to the point you started.”

      “An infinitely small point and an infinitely large point are the same things.”

      “The edge doesn’t exist, or have any mass of it’s own.”
