The Dreamer…
Idealistic and kind people, loyal to their values and to people who are important to them. Quiet and good listeners. They are flexible and accepting unless someone threatens their values.
The Dreamer is equivalent to the INFP personality type on the MBTI personality test.
Nobody wears optimism quite like Dreamers, who have a knack for seeing positivity in even the darkest days. As introverts, people often think they are shy, but Dreamers stand out when their passions are in focus. While this makes it easy for others to misunderstand INFP personality types, those that get along with them are sure to find an inspiring and tranquil friend.
Principles lead the decisions of Dreamers personalities, who are sure to ponder morale and honor to ensure their intentions are honest before they carry out their decision. INFP personality types know this about themselves and have great pride in this quality. However, Dreamers may push friends, and even society, away if they feel that others can’t relate to or understand their principle-driven motives.
Dreamers don’t try to lay out their vision for their principles in cold hard facts, but rather with symbols and metaphors. Perhaps deliver their messages in this fashion is why INFP personality types gravitate toward writing and performing arts, revealing their perspectives and interpretations through metaphor and parables, which helps explore and understand themselves and their place in the world.

The gift of communication manifests in more than just their artistic delivery, as Dreamers commonly have a great ability speaking more than one language. Their communicative capacity also assists INFP personality types as peacemakers and helps them explore areas deep personal interest to find their calling.
Dreamers can’t lend their attention to too many causes, or they’ll expend all their energy and get frustrated by their inability to solve all the problems in front of them. When INFP personality types have their low points, their lack of positivity affects those around them.
Life’s routines aren’t as crucial to INFP personality types as deep thought and philosophical contemplation. If Dreamers aren’t careful, they may isolate themselves and need others to pull them out, which is no easy task.
However, as with seasons, the best of Dreamers personality will resurface to shower those around them in the positivity, kindness, and sincerity they are accustomed.
