Types of Dreams

Dreams can be prospective, compensatory, integrative, reoccurring, big, or archetypal. Prospective dreams provide insight into what lies ahead, while compensatory dreams aim to balance out attitudes and emotions. Integrative dreams help integrate aspects of our personality that we have pushed away. Reoccurring dreams feature consistent themes throughout our lives. Big dreams are intense and memorable experiences that often carry a significant message. Finally, archetypal dreams transport us to a mythological or fantasy world.
