Yes 
Do you have an example, Cyrus? I was really wondering about this question, cause Jung (and Tholey) said that in a dream, animals symbolize unconscious tendancies, and if you make them conscious, they change into a human being.
On the other hand, animals are often found in shamanism and they are said to play a sort of guide role. 
Can someone please explain to me exactly what a spirit guide is? sorry if this is a retarded question.
Sure, renko. It’s not retarted at all! Two words cannot possibly describe all that a spirit guide is! Of course, everyone has their own personal information and experiences with spirit guides, so this information is in no way complete and it does not cover all the possibilities of spirit guide existence!
Personally, I have one spirit guide, Joe. I met him while doing a guided meditation from “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Awakening Your Spirituality”. He appeared to me as a glowing being, sort of alien-like. The name “Joe” just came to my mind. After this experience, when I call out for Joe, I feel a chill and shiver all across my body, and I know this is him telling me he’s with me.
Now, other people have their own spirit guides. They can be animals, trees, little robots, people, anything! They are spirits, and they can manifest in an infinite number of ways. Most of the time, though, they will appear to you in an unmistakable form. This form will be completely natural to you. They speak in languages that you understand and can show you images and give you feelings about anything! They are truly infinite in nature.
If you need advice or a question answered, just ask your spirit guide, and look for signs. They may come in very subtle forms, so be open to everything and don’t expect any one particular sign to appear. Your gut may tense up, or a friend may appear to you and tell you the answer, or you may think up something, or the answer could be in a song that you hear.
I believe that all spirits (which include us and spirit guides) are all part of God, so essentially asking for a Spirit Guide’s help will put God in motion and the answer can come from any part of God (which include your friends, other feelings, songs, just about anything).
There are a lot of other websites out there that explain a lot about spirit guides. I’m planning on writing a big article about them on my website in the next few days…
If you have any more specific questions, go ahead and ask them! Other readers will benefit from the answers!
Thanks for the explination. I cant say I exactly belive it, but when I get an LD ill try finding my spirit guide. Id be curious to see what mine would be.
It’s not believing, it’s accepting. I had no knowledge of a spirit guide for about 16 years of my life (and I’m only about 18 ) but once I tried and opened up my mind, there he was, waiting for me.
You don’t even need an LD to find your spirit guide. Your spirit guide is always with you, ready to help you with anything. Just open up your perception, open your mind, accept and believe it can happen, and it will. Give it time, give it patience, but it will happen.
Of course, if you believe LDs are the best way to find your spirit guide, that is your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it. I was just saying how I think spirit guides can be met by other methods than LDs, mostly because I hardly ever have LDs 
Spirit guides can be met in normal dreams too. That is how I met mine. Your spirit guide is the one that nudges you. In my case, they were physical nudges that I felt whenever I was on my way to sleep.
Also, ask your spirit guide to hug you right before you go to sleep at night or during a nap time during the day. I bet you will feel it. 
SGs can be very comforting, only though mine always nags at me. 
Always something I have to change, sometimes don’t realize it. What’s really fun is to ask them questions 
Sometimes my SG appears as a swan, I just wonder what it means about me.
Hi dreamers.
It´s been nearly a month since I´ve started trying to achieve lucidity and, despite the fact I haven´t reached there yet, recently a thought came to me. It´s something related to the so called “Spiritual Guides”. You see, in the main page we can read about how wonderful influence we can get out of our subconcious mind when we find our personal “Guide”… but I´d like to know how much it can actually help to have a word with one of these ethereal fellas. If any of you have tried this please tell me about it, cause I´m kinda short of money to just go to a shrink 
.
Sweet dreams, everybody.

On a scientific level. When you think about something during the day and enter REM it gets put into your long term memory. Say you thought up “I want to become rich in the future” your subconscious mind goes to work on how that could become possible. Or say “Should I ask her out?” your subc goes on different types of outcomes of you asking her out. Now these could be revealed to you during a dream, or just one day your all like “hey wait a second.”
If you were to talk to your subconscious/spirit guide in an LD you could have direct access to a whealth of knowledge why? because ALOT of percentage of our brain is subc memorys,thoughts, and generally alot of stuff is hidden in there. If you had a question about your future, your subc in the LD could give you a possible outcome that you in your subc have thought up. I hope that aint to confusing lol
On a spirtual level, Dreams have been a popular place for many spirtual figures to communicate to people. Alot of catholic saints were given information through dreams. Usually they dont know they are dreaming but everything is more vivid then daylife and someone gives them information/instructions/advice.
I hope my post was not to confusing.
There’s a BIG Topic about Spirit Guides here: https://community.ld4all.com/t/the-big-spirit-guide-topic-part-ii/8327
So I’ve merged your post with it 
My questions about Spirit Guides:
1. Is a Spirit Guide someone who have lived a physical life before, either on Earth or on a other planet?
2. Is it only in your dreams you can meet your Spirit Guide?
3. Could a Spirit Guide look scary? (I think ghosts, etc. looks somehow scary.)
Sofar I have come to learn/understand the following about Sg’s. Im by no means sure .
- Yes, earth.
- No, for example meditation.
- Perhaps if you were afraid? But there should be no reason, since if a SG truly exists, it will only mean you positiveness. Besides this, in a dream it could take any form since how you see your SG is your own interpretation.
Is it possible to meet your spirit guide in IRL? Not clearly… but sorta like a ghost-like thing?
Probably. Most people who claim to have a good connection to their SG can feel this bond often if not always. It’s kind of seeing with emotion I guess .
I’m very curious about my spirit guide… Once I discover what it is I’d like to draw it.
You know what I don’t know why but I’ve realized I’m scared of seeing my SG…Kinda like I’d be afraid of seeing a ghost
Today I had a intense lucid dream…
I was asking to talk to my dream guide but he/she did not show up. I was asking Can I talk to my dream guide? Can I talk to my dream person? Where are you?
I have done that about 15 times… and no show 
any suggestions … on maybe why… and can you tell me about your meeting with your dream guide.
Hello Woodson !!
I saw a kind of guide one time. It was a girl named Berkta (strange name, I don’t now if it exist).
She showed me how to walk on flowers without crushing them. When she did it, her feet pass through the flowers like if she was a ghost. So I tried but I failed.
Since I did not see this girl.
I searched my dream guide for a certain time, but I let it snow.
I was searching for a dream character who could learn things to me about dreams, but actually, each part of our dream is created by ourself so in a way the things that this “guide” knows, we know them too .
But if you want to find your guide, I hope you will achieve your goal
I’ve never tried, and have’t really read up all that much… so there’s not much advice I can give I’m afraid. My only suggestion if that you try different techniques of making him/her appear (eg. expect them to apear behind you and then turn around).
