LD4all Quest #3: Rhythmic Moon: Meeting your Spirit Guide

[color=darkblue]Author: pasQuale

Each moon, on LD4all we have a new Quest to explore your LD’s in a fun way.

The Quest for Rhytmic Moon is: Meet your Spirit Guide[/color]

13 Moon Calendar

The 13 Moon Calendar presents a new way of moving through time, based around the simple, natural rhythm of 13 Moons of 28 Days. Additional information about the movement is available at the home of the World Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Movement. More monthly pictures and the option to order a calendar, can be found in our 13 Moon Calendar: Journey of the Peace Train.

Meeting your Spirit Guide

This Moons project was suggested by Carnun in the Quest Suggestion Topic.

A Spirit Guide is an entity who watches over you in this life. Your Spirit Guide is always with you. You can have several guides, and guides can change over the years, as you move from one phase in your life to another.

In this Quest you will try to meet with one of your guides.

Even if you don’t believe in this, it would be interesting to try and see what you encounter.

In your next LD:

Meet your Spirit Guide
Ask their name, and other questions on your mind
Ask him/her for a gift

Preparations/Incubation
Before going to sleep or while doing your LD incubation technique (WILD/WBTB/MILD, etc):

Set your mind for this Quest
Already decide on how you will call your guide.
Tips on how to meet your guide:

Call out loud: “I want to meet my Spirit Guide, please appear to me” (Phrase this in your own way)
Find or materialize a door and say that your Spirit Guide will be there when you open it
Take an elevator and press the “Spirit Guide” button; when the elevator opens you will meet your Spirit Guide

Decide what questions you want to ask your guide. Focus on just one or two important things, because you have to remember the answers as well when you wake up. The more questions you have, the harder it is to take it all back to the waking world. But know that that is what important to you will stay, and even thought you may not remember all, another part of you will know the answer.

Have Fun!

Post all relevant dreams in this topic (whether you feel you succeeded or not).

Good luck on your Quest everybody!

note: Rhythmic Moon is from december 13 2005 until january 9 2006

Wow this is a really good quest… I’ve always wanted to try this, I just never really got around to it and it always seemed to slip my mind (Maybe its all that time in the procastination topic hehe) … hopefully this will help focus me, in fact I’m going to try this tonight

Good luck everybody!

Well I’m getting back into my lucid dreaming routine again, so I’ll make this my goal.
Next lucid dream, I will seek out a spirit guide

explora · December 12, 2005, 3:50am

I’m in! Good luck

Nick

Carnun · December 12, 2005, 4:11am

I think that I don’t actually have a spirit guide! Its not I don’t believe in them, its just I feel as if I don’t have one! So this is going to be really interesting to see if I am wrong and to see what I will encounter.

I can’t wait to read everyone elses experiences too.

Good luck everyone!

Bruno · December 12, 2005, 4:28am

Well. That means meeting Wolf again. I’m in.

Bruno · December 12, 2005, 1:21pm

Managed to do both. I WILDed this night—the first thing I did was go talk to Wolf to report here but it was kind of the same as the last dream

After talking to Wolf (and, later, a couple of hipsters who sold bottled souls) I decided to try becoming a centaur. Not a real animal, but worth reporting anyway^^

Sandra · December 12, 2005, 4:19pm

Yeah, good quest. I wanted to do this for ages…
Maybe this is an extra motivation and I finally do it

Sock_Puppet · December 13, 2005, 3:46am

I wonder what my spirit guide looks like.

Wolf · December 13, 2005, 4:23am

If it’s anything like Bruno’s SG, it must be one handsome beast!

I’m interested as well. Pretty much all the stuff you guys have said, forgot, never thought of it, blah blah blah. Always wanted to though, hopefully I won’t be bogged down with too much schoolwork to the point where I can do a nice WILD.

Stormthunder · December 13, 2005, 4:52pm

In the unlikely event I get a lucid dream this month, I’ll make sure I do that. I don’t believe in spirit guides, but I’m really interested to see what my brain would come up with for one, and how it would look/act.

darakat · December 13, 2005, 10:02pm

I have done this already with one of my guides (whose very conveniently named DC) But I will see if I can do it again with EM, its probably a lot easier for me then turning into a animal.

kol · December 15, 2005, 12:26am

this is a really good idea. maybe this LD will have a good accomplished feeling. (ive ld’d a good 1 or two times…)

Painocus · December 15, 2005, 6:36pm

NO NOT THE SG!
She only trys too save DC…
BUT I DO NOT CEAR AND SHE STOLD MY DOG ROPE!

Dawn_sDeath · December 17, 2005, 2:32am

i managed to get in a LD yesterday.I was trying to find my SG,didn’t shout cause hate to disturb anyone even in my dreams.But many images started to flow around my mind and started to act in my dream.I saw a sensei-i have recently joined a dojo-but i thought it was just a false SG cause it was a very recent image of this person.I’ll just keep trying,i might achieve something,any suggestions on what to ask him???

Ithuriel · December 17, 2005, 2:33am

Wow, I’ll have a lot of shove for this, I’ve been trying to discover my spirit guide for a while.

Carnun · December 17, 2005, 8:41am

So last night, I went to sleep extremely drunk… woke up about midnight… extremely hung over and I took some pain killers and detoxifed myself until about 4am, then I went to bed to get a few hours sleep, but I was still suffering.

I had two really great dreams that I will post in my DJ later, but I also had this curious FA.

I wake up in bed, and I am still suffering from consuming too much red wine, and I become aware of a presence sitting in the corner of the room where I normally have my stereo. I think that perhaps this is my SG, and that he is just looking out for me why I writhe in pain. He was completely in a dark shadow, I definity new he was a male… perhaps 40 odd years old. But I had the distinct impression that he wasn’t too impressed with me, and that I disappoint him. He was sitting crossed legged, and was contemplating me, makeing those church hands with his finger tips.

Well, this is the closest experience I have ever had to meeeting a SG… so I want to try and encounter this guy again and find out why he thinks I am doing so wrong in my life.

Chances are I will just tell him to go take a hike!!

Qu · December 17, 2005, 10:27am

great experience carnun I hope he’ll come to you when you are more sober and you can ask him those questions Good luck!

I believe a SG is a part of ourselves.

Perhaps this is yourself looking back at your current path?

Okay, surprisingly I had a lucid dream this morning and gave the quest my best shot. As usual it was quite a long dream and I still haven’t finished fully typing it up yet, so I’ll just post the relevant parts here:

Attempt 1:

I belatedly remembered the whole searching for the spirit guide thing and tried to order mine to appear. However, at this point I discovered that whenever I tried to speak aloud, my vision blacked out as though I was waking up. In fact, I did wake up a little and saw that this was because I was trying to speak in reality as well. I managed to force myself back into the dream each time this happened, but it soon became clear I wasn’t going to be able to voice my wishes aloud.

So instead I just thought very hard about a spirit guide. I wasn’t really expecting anything, but funnily enough I turned around to see a sort of dark, shadowy man wearing a hood. Aside from that, I can’t remember what he looked like. Anyway, he knew what I wanted to ask, because before I could try to ask it, he opened his mouth and said, “I’m not your spirit guide.” Well, that seemed pretty conclusive, I must admit. This made me curious as to who he in fact was, then, but after his first few words he suddenly seemed to fall apart like dark mist.

Attempt 2:

I walked out the front doors of the museum and made my way back to the main strip where the parade had been. The barge was by now far away, but I was heading in the opposite direction at any rate. I went past all the buildings on the left until I came to a small sandy embankment. Here, I tried calling out for a spirit guide again.

This time, somebody appeared straight away. It was a young man about my own age, with blonde hair and a rather red, sunburnt-looking face. I’d never seen him before, but I knew at once that this wasn’t my spirit guide, either. I did have an instant liking towards, him, however. He wasn’t particularly good-looking (though he certainly wasn’t ugly, either), but he was one of those people who you can just tell are really friendly and nice.

He smiled at me, whereupon I found myself smiling back. I took his hand and together we walked up the embankment towards a grassy oval. This is when I woke up for good, and it was a good note to finish on!
