Is it possible to receive guidance from guides in dream but not remember specifics?

[iatethewholewheel]

I have tried to contact my guides in meditation and never been successful, to my knowledge.

BUT, I have noticed for the past 8 or 9 months (through a turbulent period), sometimes I am in a weird sleep state (some level of consciousness, not dreaming but not awake) and am conversing with someone or receiving information. It's hard to describe but is either verbal or, sometimes comes as "scrolling thoughts or text" (best way to describe) through my mind.

Just two nights ago I set the MBO intention to meet with my guide and get clarity or help on a matter. Before waking up in the middle of the night i last recall sitting at a meeting table with a woman, talking. (These experiences have always been a woman which is funny because I always imagined my guide a male).

When I woke, I knew it had been important and was making sense, but for the life of me could not recall specific advice or anything. This has happened with the "streaming dialogue" experiences too. I know it all made great sense at the time ( in the half conscious/half sleep state) but in waking life can't recall much.

I also know these experiences are in a weird state different from normal dreams or restless sleeping. It may also be useful to know I do meditate several times a week (have noticed my lucid dreaming improving mainly).

So....I guess my main question is...is it likely I am still subconsciously retaining and using the guidance?

I usually do feel much better, and in a greater, more reassured mindset after these experiences (even before I recognized them as possibly being my guides helping). Or should I work to remember the actual advice in waking life to get more out of it, or is it fine as is and still serving its purpose and helping on some higher-conscious level?
Sometimes I think knowing these things in waking life would become counterproductive since I tend to waste time and energy analyzing or over-thinking. Maybe my higher self knows how to make better use of the guidance?

I know this, I sometimes get almost hammered all kind of information in my head so that I even feel uncomfortable, it feels like it would hurt in my browchakra, but its benevolent.

Sometimes the consciousness turns really weird in this states and I feel like a channel, I can let this info in me, but when it's in my head I can't remember it afterwards.

Don't know it's exact nature, so I can just share similar experiences.

Yes! That sounds like my experience! And I also know it is benevolent.

I'd kind of dismissed the idea of guides when I first got into exploring spirituality, or left it alone I should say...but there is definitely some source downloading or channeling to me when I need it. So since I'm open to anything I've become more curious again.

I also have noticed, especially during meditation, a warm pulsing over my brow chakra lately.

Yes happens to me all the time

"Sienna Miller is back to her old ways..." is the last thing that was said to me before I leaped back into this plane of things.

I had spent the entire night drifting around somewhere between meditation and sleep and being fully awake.

When I laid down, I began meditating, then I entered into some sort of dream, only it was sort of lucid, as I knew what was going on, and that I was in fact, laying in my bed, in the dark, trying to go to sleep. It was weird, and hard to explain, so just listen.

I sat in a room, sitting at a table, nothing was on it, but across from me, was person. Who was this person you ask? I couldn't tell you a thing about him or her, because not only did I never see a face, but him or her, kept switching around from being either a man or a woman. At one point, near the end of all of this, I looked at the person, and he, it, her, changed into my father. I'm slightly most comfortable when praying, to refer to God, the universe, whatever you wanna call it, "Father", because it seems simpler, so possibly this was a representation to me that God was who I was talking to... Whatever.. Anyway..

This "dream" (Of sorts) Was odd to say the least, not because of the room or its slightly darkened state. (It was niether well lit, nor too dark... it just... was...so to speak...) nor was it odd what was said so much.

What was odd was that we would chat, about god knows what (Pun intended) and then all of a sudden, I found myself in the middle of a dream, wherein I first started out seeing my soon to be ex-wife and having a real conversation with her, telling her I knew about her lies, and she actually admitted them (Unlike her), then.. it was back to the room of convo....Then on to another experience, only I was no longer as involved in what was going on, as much as I was watching and listening to what this person was telling me.... Then back to the room, back to the dream, back to the room, back to the dream..... finally it was back to the room, and at the end of the conversation, I heard the Sienna Miller comment, then abruptly was fully awake once again, and fully revitalized as thought I had slept all night, though it was but for a mere 4 hours.

Anyway, I only recall (well enough to talk about it) the dream including my soon to be ex-wife, and three statements made in the convo.... Two were by me, one by this person.

I got up, and was asked, "Where are you going?"
I said, "I'm going downstairs to find my brother..." then there was a spiral staircase leading downwards....

I stated at one point, mid convo, (We were talking about someone talking about us) "I told them I was batman and you're Robin..."
I was asked, "Well why would you do that?"
I said, "Because I am batman..."
What I was saying, i remember, was that I was the leader in this superhero team, but it was a joke, because obviously this person was, but I had told this person we were talking about that I was "batman" and "Father" was "Robin" so as to protect his identity... (Whatever that means.. idk.. that's what I was talking about though.. ) ... then I made the statement, "Because I am batman" and it was an understanding that neither of us were leading anything... we were just existing...

Anywho.. Have a nice day...

Also happens to me often...I figure my subcounscious remembers...

That's what I say... and just wander on... driftin around

What matters is that it reaches your subconscious mind. It can also be good to know it consciously but if it means you'll over-analyse it, better keep it in your subconscious mind :P

Don't worry about it. Play with it!

[iatethewholewheel]

Thank you for all the responses! Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets guidance like this...so long as it's in my subconscious and useful, it's all good I definitely notice profound positive mood shifts and insights after these events...so further proof it must be still working and that I am connecting with my guides - yay Cool stuff!

It happens to me too, and I have always had a hard time remembering my dreams because my husband has to wake up to the alarm (or I do) and I have to get up quickly and walk across the room to turn it off. I had always worried that I was not getting the messages. I am glad to think that they are getting to my subconscious (but I wish I remembered)
