As a fictional spirit guide I have been somewhat concerned about the lack of spirit guide talk on DU. I began a search to see if I could find out what is going on. I still haven't found my answer, but I did find an old DU thread that was interesting.

Having trouble getting in touch with my guides.

Remember how we had that thread here a while back regarding Sylvia Brown's advice about how to get in touch with your spirit guide or guides? She said you should ask for their names on the edge of sleep each night, and you should have the answer by the third night. Well, I've been doing that for two weeks and nothing's coming. I realize that this strategy, as it comes from Sylvia Brown, may be questionable; my take on her is: when she's on, she's on, when she misses, she misses by a mile. But I still enjoy listening to her and I want to know the names of my guides, goshdarnit! I'm quite certain I have some. An aura photographer took a look at a photo of me once that featured me with this huge, orange aura, and reported that she could see indications of three guides who had probably been with me since I was born. I do feel that spirit guides help me from time to time, usually when I am about to cop out on a commitment I've made, or scared to face up to a challenging task. On a few occasions, I've literally felt a presence in my head saying, "You are going to suck it up and do X, because you said you would/you need to/you'll seriously regret it if you don't." Those incidents, in which I received crucial encouragement from...somewhere when I couldn't give it to myself, were some of the pinnacle moments of my life.
I would really love to know their names, but Brown's method isn't working for me. Anyone else have any tips for contacting or getting information about a person's guides?
You're spirit guide at the time that you wrote this had a nervous breakdown as a result of having to deal with you. You're current spirit guide's name is Rocko.

3. Sylvia also said that you can rename your guides if the name
seems too strange to you. She has renamed hers. I think you aren't listening carefully enough. Mine came through loud and clear on the second night and I almost missed it because my thoughts had trailed off to something else when the name came. However, I see no reason not to call your guides what you want to call them. It could be that they are trying to get that name through to you.
Do NOT listen to Sylvia. Spirit guides take offense to someone changing their names. They will make terrible things happen to you. One woman had a spirit guide named Lonzo. She didn't like the name Lonzo so she started calling the spirit guide Bob. Lonzo, in anger, actually removed the woman's intelligence to such a level that she became a babbling idiot. She became a regular poster on DU and eventually won DOTY.
