Who is The Dreamer?
Dreamers are reserved, open, warm and flexible. You live in a rich inner world of ideas, stories and feelings, and you care deeply about authenticity and kindness. You'd rather follow inspiration than a schedule.
People experience you as gentle and accepting, and you often notice beauty and meaning others overlook. Structure and deadlines can feel at odds with how you naturally work, so practical tasks may pile up.
