I know some people with tulpae who are trying to achieve this—making their tulpa their dream guide—and I think some of them have. Though I am pretty sure it doesn't necessarily mean that if you have a tulpa, it/he/she will be your dream guide. (and i have no idea how it works inside the mind) And also, it is not the idea behind tulpae Tulpae, from what I've learned, are sentient beings and an autonomous consciousness that you develop/create for a personal purpose. For some, they do it to have a companion, and for plenty of other reasons specific to the person. Making the tulpa your dream guide could be one of those reasons or bonus consequences, but it is not really the basis for creating a tulpa. Hope that answers your question

Hey Paige, I've been thinking about this recently actually, and I've heard a lot of people throw around the word Dream-Guide, but I never really knew an accurate description. That makes sense now for me, but a lot of other people have also told me that like there's these guides like I've heard people use the term "spiritual-guide" that you encounter in LD's and was wondering what's your take on that kinda stuff?

It's just the way they describe it they make it sound as if Lucid Dreaming can lead to encounters with sort of living entities? But I'll agree that does sound kinda silly

In the normal lucid dreaming lingo, dream guides are the ones I just described. When people mean the spiritual guides who are ethereal, etc., we usually direct those to the Beyond Dreaming section since those involve attachment of spiritual meanings behind the dream characters—something that not all members are inclined to believe, and is subjective to each person. But that's not to say they aren't real, it's just that the forum is concerned with differentiating the two so as to avoid confusion and debate. I, personally have not encountered the spiritual type of dream guide thus far, so I can't tell either x)

UPDATE: lastnight i was able to recall three dreams and a few fragments i feel with a good level of recall a lucid should come a bit more easily to me Im pointing this out because recently my recall has faded but since after my previous lucid my recall has somewhat improved a lot

Congrats! And yeah it gets better the more positive things happen since you and your subconscious get much more motivated that way. Keep it up!

¯\_(°‿°)_/¯

Haha yeah I figured as much.

Thanks anyway Paige, I wasn't really inclined to believe such things..
