I have a friend who goes to a dream group facilitated by an Enneagram teacher. She said it’s rather compelling the way type shows up in dreams.  I am a social subtype and my dreams are often occupied by a lot of people.  She is a one on one subtype and her dreams are usually just her and perhaps, an intense relationship with one symbol in the dream.

I also have noticed that symbols of our arrows show up in the dream.  For instance, she is an 8 on the Enneagram and she has dreams of tender caretaking (her movement two Type Two: The Giver).  She also describes dreams in which she is fighting an aggressive force represented by various dream images.  I have a 9 friend who often has dreams of anger and aggression and fighting a wild animal.  I am not an anger type and rarely have dreams in which anger plays a central role. Rather, my dreams will often include some version of fear which as a fear type, this is not a big surprise.

On another note, I use Ommwriter to record my dreams.  It is a free app you can download on your computer and it induces that sort of liminal, hypnotic state in which we find ourselves suspended between dream and waking states.   I find I can shift states simply by closing my eyes, tuning into the music and free writing my dream.  

It is created by a group out of Barcelona and they write:  

As mere mortals, we also face the usual challenges of daily life: a multitude of windows open on our computer desktops, messages, emails, calls, meetings, and those crazy thoughts that pass through our minds.

OmmWriter emerged as an internal tool to help transport us away from the humdrum noise; allowing us to be at one with ourselves and our ideas. All said and done, after having created something so valuable, we figured that OmmWriter was just too good to keep to ourselves.
