I'm not sure that such a relationship is even possible, even though there are random mistakes and we still have a need to interpret 'guidance'. If your guides tell them to leave them alone, then perhaps you are to follow your own guidance? That's always available too. Guidance for me is not like 'sage advice'. It's just a 'clue' which offers a connection to something not yet accepted or connected. As a form of catalyst, it seems that we 'waste' much of our dreaming anyway.. I tend to get certain clues to ponder right before waking up.
Mine tell ME to leave them alone. What's that say about me?
I meant more like 'I don't want to be a criminal but my guides give every indication to go through with it.'
Now that I am writing it out, I can see that it is still beneficial to the entity to see it through as it would be the apparent path chosen. I guess I got a little scared that we would be encouraging a murderer, but if that is in fact his calling..... to each his own and climb every mountain. ( In no way do I mean to undermine or attempt sarcasm. I am serious)
As for dreaming, I get the clues from daydreams as much as asleep dreams. Asleep dreams don't seem to be insightful. IMO, they only reflect the same thoughts I was having yesterday. Besides, I was paying attention yesterday when I was having them. The asleep dream usually tells me that I swallowed yesterday's bit of thought patterns more than fleetingly.
As for a method for developing, I just wait for the next wave. Stuff is always changing and shifting including my own 'Mind' patterns. Even with the more I am learning (and I do appreciate all the teachers here), I still come back to the same conclusion. That is, to simply Be, and in my Being-ness, I am. And when I look out on the world, that is all that is truly happening for anyone.... 'they just being, yo' (i don't speak this way, I chose that because, even though sounding like a simpleton, it is still profoundly accurate)
