Dream Guide

A dream guide performs a number of useful purposes in lucid dreams:

The presence of the Guide is itself a dream sign that can make you aware that you are dreaming. You can use the Dream Guide as a reality check - attempt to summon him/her/it into your presence. The Guide can be a focus for your subconscious to illuminate knowledge you might otherwise have suppressed.

You might find that your Dream Guide first appears by chance. In the case of this author, his Dream Guide was first seen sitting on a fence in a lucid dream. The Guide introduced himself and explained his function.

Alternatively, you can create your own Guide within a lucid dream. Decide on what you want the Guide to be and conjure up him/her/it. Do this every time you have a lucid dream, making the form and character stronger every time.

Try not to make your lucid dreaming Guide too "bland". He/she/it should be unusual or distinctive in some way or other - remember, this is the dreamworld. You have the whole infinity of imagination at your disposal!
