Hey, I thought it was about time I made a introduction thread here.

My real name is Tyler and I have been Trying to become lucid in my dreams for about six months.
I have so far had Two lower level lucid dreams and also one really long one last night.
I have been reading around on this side for about two months and I Seriously think this is one of the best lucid sites around. I also made this thread because I have a few questions to ask.

Last night I became lucid so I decided to try to summon my dream guide. After calling out dream guide about five times this girl walked up from behind me. I asked if she was my dream guide and she said ''Yes.'' She also said a few other words but I dont remember them. But she really didnt look like what I would expect from a dream guide, she was also smoking and looked poor. So we were walking around and she sure was rambling on about kind of pointless stuff, I could barely even get a word in. I then was trying to touch stuff in my dream to stay lucid, I then touched her hair because it was really the only thing around to touch. She then looked at me and snapped ''What do you think your doing!''
I was shocked she was so aware and jumped back, I guess you dont touch your dream guides....
So later I finally got to ask if I maybe had any secret talents. She replied ''heck if I know!''
Then she made it sound like I did and said ''Well, Maybe but the discovery has rules, so I cant tell you.''


Ok, so I wanted to know if dream caracters can lie and say there somone there not? Because she sure didnt seem like A dream guide. She was also smoking, that doesnt seem to....I guess ''pure'' for a dream guide?
I also wanted to know if trying to negotiate with your subconscious and trying a wild can have bad side affects. Every since I tryed the two I have had sleep insomnia for like the last two weeks, which I have never had before.
I also noticed if I closed my eyes in my dream it feels like I'm drifting into like a darkness. After I opened them it took about three seconds with my eyes open until I could see somthing besides black.
Any ways I hope you guys dont mind the long post and all the questions.
