How to tell who your dream guide is.

[batman]

So I've heard that everyone has some sort of 'dream guide' who helps them while lucid. They give tips and tricks and such. I've heard people mention that they're our subconscious. Anyways, I was just wondering how to tell if a person really is our dream guide or not. For example: Last night I had a lucid dream in which I asked a man, who is completely random such that I have never seen him before, if he was my dream guide. He said yes. How do I know he isn't/can't be bullshitting me?

Guide - Intend them or call upon them to assist you in the dream realm - they appear then & will help you - in the dream you will just simply know (like a feeling). You may find a guide person, mythic creature, or animals offering you guidance. After you become good at identifying them you may be surprised to discover that you have many of them. I choose the scary ones(alleys) cause if they are our subconscious the scarier the better; however, if you do this remember it is only a dream which you can change the direction it takes, if it is something you do not enjoy. good luck
