Thanks for the feedback :]

So knowing that, I would say... I don't think your dream guide should want to hide from you, or to keep his identity a secret.
Yeah, that makes sense... it was obviously my own mind trolling me or something XD

It's pretty much placebo, do accept information on how to control your dreams because it will work. It works for me.
Will do..

The only reason your DC's usually do that is because YOU don't completely believe you are dreaming. They are a part of your brain remember.
This manifestation obviously just was a part of you that knew you were dreaming.
Now that you mention that, I remember dreams where I've talked to denying DCs and it seems like one of those frequent dreams I have where I fully realize I'm dreaming, only to be distracted minutes later. Maybe I was just "dreaming of being lucid" when I finally asked them?

There might not be any use in asking DC's for a name or anything, I dunno.
Yeah, I tried the same thing in a dream this morning and it clearly doesn't work for me, even though everyone knew I was dreaming too -.-

From now on I'll just walk around lucid, keep it in my head and hope for the best XD unless I want to be amused and ask what weird creature/object a DC could come up with for a DG next..
