The purpose of this study is to discuss archetypal dreams and their relations to the dreamers personalities. A questionaire consisting of questions related to the frequency of dream recall and one's interest in dreams and a section for describing freely one's vividest dreams was given to 156 female university students. At the same time MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) for Jung's typology was also given to them. To determine whether or not it was archetypal, each dream was rated on the basis of the four criteria of the Archetypal Dream Scale composed by Kluger (1975). The following 4 points were discussed: (1) The frequency of occurence of control dreams and vivid dreams; Kluger's study was followed in part. (2) The relation between collected archetypal dreams and the functions of personalities in Jung's theory. (3) The relation between the frequency of dream recall and functions of personalities or occurence of archetypal dreams. (4) The relation between the subjects' interest in dreams and functions of personalities or occurence of archetypal dreams. The results were as follows: (1) Vivid dreams were significantly (p<.001) more archetypal than control dreams. (2) The occurence of archetypal dreams had a close relation to Perceiving (Irrational function), especially Intuition in it. Those who had archetypal dreams were superior in their Perceiving and Intuition to those who did not have any archetypal dreams. (3) The frequency of dream recall had a certain relation to Judging (Rational function) and no relations to the occurence of archetypal dreams. Those who had a high frequency of dream recall were superior in Thinking to those who had a low frequency. (4) There were no relations between the degree of the interest in dreams and the function of personalities or the occurence of archetypal dreams.
