I'm not sure if a dream guide can be a real person or not. This may sound dumb, but I'm thinking of summoning Cat Stevens as my dream guide. The young Cat Stevens of the past. I know I'll never meet him in waking life, at least not looking young as he would in my dreams. But would it confuse or hinder me to see pictures of my dream guide or to hear his music in waking life? Is there any reason not to use a real person as a dream guide? I know it's not very imaginative, but to me he just seems so friendly, wise, open-minded, and expressive, all the traits that I think a dream guide should have.
