Hi, welcome to DV and thanks for taking the time to check out the board!
spirits or 'dreamguides' can visit you in your dreams, there's nothing paranormal in that at all. My symbol most frequently seems to be a horse, it usually comes when some kind of challenge is facing me, and i have to master it. (the horse, and the challenge!
Low-level moments of lucidity are entirely possible. Most people have these quite a lot, but don't realise what they are until they discover lucid dreaming.
The next thing to do is find a technique to induce lucid dreaming.
For that i recommend checking out the Tutorials Forum. There are some great techniques on there for inducing a lucid dream. You just have to play around with them, find out which one works for you.
I am interested in developing lucid dreaming. I have taken some time to explore this website and I feel that my own beliefs are closest to "seeker"'s (a DV moderator). Like him, I am married and do not want my lucid dreams to include anything that I feel is morally wrong (sex with anyone other than my husband, murdering another living being (except in self defense), etc...) but from my understanding of lucid dreaming (from what I've read on this board), my personal beliefs will carry over into the dream state.
I do have one simple question though for now----is anyone over 45 years of age on this board? I am 49.

In a lucid dream, YOU are in control. So the chances are, you probably wouldn't go having immoral sex or killing someone...I too believe that our personal beliefs carry over into our dream state.
But then i have a theory that they are only dreams, and it's not quite the same as actually doing something like that in real life.
I could waffle on for ages about that, with different scenarios, but i've talked enough for now.
So, enjoy your time exploring and getting to know people!
btw, i'm 22...so, a bit short of my forties, but still...
