Okay. Here are the main types of recurring dream characters.

Dream Nemisis
Alot of people have these. They appear in most nightmares. And when they appear in normal dreams they turn them into nightmares. Sometimes they can just be stadning around you. Or following you. Altogether, a Dream Nemesis is a dream character who doesn't like you. Or in a more spiritual sense he is a negative spirit who decided to pick on you. Or not... or maybe... or who knows....

The Perfect Being
*sigh* The Perfect Being.... normally a member of the opposite(sp?) gender unless you are .... . I have a recurring Perfect Being..... they are very hard to describe and normally... I can remember the presence of the Being but... I can barely remember any physical things... but I remember seeing something that instantly filled me with happiness and joy... and talking to this Perfect Being... was something I could do for hours on end.

The Friend
An ally or group of allies who are almost always at your side when you need it. They are normally representations of friends in real life. Also a lot of the time they look nothing like your friends but you reckognise(sp?) as your specific friends.

That is about all I can think of and relate to... feel free to list any other types of recurring dream characters! Also, tell me what ones you have that have been listed so far, and some of your own. I have a recurring group of Friends and a recurring Perfect Being. Yay! I might have a Nemesis but haven't been vigilant enough to notice.
