yesterday i had an LD. in that, i won a cash prize in a contest in the form of check.
as it was an LD i asked the DC to give me a gift that would help me in real life. she said she needed some time. meanwhile i spoke to another DC. i said, “you see how hard it is for me to remain here. the moment i leave this hand from the table, you all will become non-existent (i use sense of touch to prevent an LD from fading, i.e keep touching or grab something). then, the previous DC came with a paper that is meant to be the gift . it read " you will see this dream in real life.” i said " does that mean there will be an event in real life which is similar to this dream?" she said yes. then the other DC told me that beginners have too many questions. instead of thinking forwards they shold think backwards, to the source. i didnt understand this but at that moment it was quite philosophical.
Interesting. I’ve had a similar experience with a DC giving a ‘gift’, but instead of something pleasant, I had an ominous black pill handed to me with a warning about taking it, but I did anyway. A week and a day later, I get sick to my stomach, and nearly a month later I’m still having stomach problems daily. >.> Oh well, I suppose that I was warned.
On the topic of what the second DC said about thinking back to the source, it’s interesting that she (he?) said that right after you asked if it meant that you would have a similar event happen to you in the future. Wonder if something happened to you in the past to cause that dream…
I believe I know what was that DC saying when it says to think to the source. I once saw that the very first self-inspired DC has this book
afpc.asso.fr/wengu/wg/wengu.php?l=Yijing
which is believed to be the source of the connection between time and space, and it contains some dates and events from RL. I could read just a few words in it and actually happened to me exactly the same way IRL. Maybe this book is “the source” and the female actually gave you a paper with the traduction of one of this book’s paragraph.
Thinking forward means thinking about the future (in this case, the real life event that would match the dream) but most of the future events are determined by the past, so it’s more important to think backwards if you are intending to understand why it is this way and not another.
I read somewhere. I think it was here. That if you come into contact with a unplesant DC(while lucid) you are supose to hug them, and ask for a gift. I havnt tried this, because I dont find scary DCs when Im lucid, but next time Ill just ask any DC for a gift.
yes, i read that too,its in the guide! 
alot of people have different phobias, and these can manifest themselves inside your dreams, such as if you have alot of nightmares, these “demons”(and some really do look like that!) can come inside of your LD! they can run after you, scream, chase you, and you cant get away from them. so what else to do? help them! turn around, stare whatever it is, even if its a giant spider with 2 feet fangs, stare in its eye, and DEMAND it what its doing in YOUR dream! 
it might say something, it might not, but whater it does, listen and DEMAND it for a gift! you will ALWAYS recieve one,bad or not, it could be music, a pill, food, a necklace, but whatever it is, accept it and then give it a hug! it will turn into something wonderful,becouse you faced your fear, and again, dreams have helped.
