That being said, I consider a Dream Guide to be a Dream Character that is nice to me, and continues to appear in my lucid dreams. Dream guides are, basically, imaginary friends (only you can see them, hear them, and they can affect their virtual environment).

Precisely. They'll behave generally as you expect them to while you're interacting with them. Don't settle for shitty DCs just because someone told you you should. Except them ALL to behave just like ordinary people or more. I don't like the term 'DG' because ALL of my dream characters behave like that, save for a handful of shitty ones.
