Sacred Space
I found this description of meditation very helpful. I hope you enjoy it. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Pagan-Wiccan-Religion-3207/2011/7/spirit-guides.htm
So dreams and meditation are the best way to introduce yourself to the spirit guides and see if one has already been following you around or not.
You say you have been trying this route but there are some methods you need to follow.
This is the direction I give my students:
We are going to meditate for the purpose of building an altar on the spiritual plane. I know they say to meditate and think of nothing but this is absolutely impossible and has no purpose at all. Cleanse your self and your sacred space. Light a yellow or purple taper candle. Burn whatever incense most pleases you. Get comfortable but do not lie down. Keep your back straight. I like a straight back chair for good meditation. Do the deep breathing and relaxing part then when you are ready I want you to go to the natural place in the world that you find most peaceful. Some like the beach, some the forest, some a grassy meadow...
Where is your natural peaceful place? Create it in your mind. Make it perfect in your mind. Smell the salt spray from the sea or the wild flowers, hear the waves or the birds, see gulls or butterflies or whatever kinds of natural things and creatures may reside there...make it a real natural place in your mind.
This in your internal sacred space. Now build your self a place in it. Create a place to be there. Find a spot for an altar. Use drift wood, flat rocks, tree stump, whatever you like. Find a rock or log to sit on, a grassy place to lie down. This your home within your mind. Create it.
This takes time...it may take many sessions. Get as far as you can, when you lose focus quit, come back again later and continue construction.
When you like your space in your head and your altar is built, then lets have a ritual there. Let's light some candles and lay an offering and sit in front of that altar and ask the Goddess and any spirits who are with you to communicate with you in this place. From now on when you visit PAY ATTENTION. Animals may come and go, talk to them, watch what they do, follow them to other places. Watch for changes that you did not make...paths to follow, a boat to get into, gifts left for you to find. I have actually had people be sitting there when I go in who had interesting things to say. This is one of the easiest ways for spirit guides and all other spirit to reach you.
Once this is established well in your mind...your internal sacred space...they can reach out to you in your dreams and draw you into that place if they need to see you.
Give this exercise a try.

Crazy Sexy "LIFE"
So I'm about to do something radical, again. It seems to be like waves rolling into the shore with me and all of the choices/responses I'm making. Lately I have been feeling like I should stop taking the only medication I take which is Tamoxifen. It's an estrogen blocker given to women who have experienced certain kinds of breast cancer. As with all drugs there are effects and there are side effects. I am not having any abnormal side effects, just this quiet feeling that I don't want to take it anymore. I did not see my oncologist this year either. I am moving in the opposite direction of traditional medicine. And so, in following this intuitive cycle I have found again the wonderful health documentary by Kris Carr
http://crazysexylife.com/2011/healing-my-liver-the-natural-way/ and the interesting information regarding Tamoxifen and liver damage; lord knows I damage it enough myself... for the love of wine and other things. So I will go off of this prescription. My body led me through this intuitive choice one time before with all of the vitamins I was taking for the first year with breast cancer prescribed by my Naturopathic oncologist.
When that doctor moved away I contacted an intuitive regarding my health and fear of recurrence. It was like a light shining into my darkness. He took away my fear with the acknowledgement that I had graduated from that. When you graduate you don't go back and learn the same thing again. You move on to the next phase of learning. We laughed for a good 90 minutes with all of the things he shared and knew about me having never met me and consulting me by phone from another state. Bless you Patrick Sterenchuk.
In the wake of breast cancer I have found a new understanding regarding health and healing, that primarily revolves around what we eat. Food is the medicine that fuels our healing. Live and organic fruits, vegetables and grass fed meats. Not pesticides, hormones, and processed food. This is killing our nation. It is now a vicious cycle. Medications to treat symptoms that treat symptoms that create new health issues and then more medications. How absurd can this be. Our bodies are designed to heal and regenerate. If we only had the wisdom and the capacity to change.
