Archetype vs Disposition vs Chronotype illustration.

Three different things

Archetype is your steadier pattern. It is about how you tend to move through the world over time, not how you felt on one random Tuesday.

Disposition is the day-to-day shift. It tracks how that baseline is showing up under current conditions such as stress, recovery, social load, or a run of poor sleep.

Chronotype is timing. It is the part of the model that helps Dreamline think about when your system tends to come online, warm up, or drag.

Why Dreamline separates them

A lot of self-knowledge products roll identity, mood, and timing into one label. That sounds tidy, but it leaves out too much.

Dreamline keeps them separate because your steadier pattern, your current state, and your timing do not always move together.

What that means in practice

On the site, Archetype is the easiest place to start because it gives you a clear first read. In the app, Disposition matters more because it changes with real life.

Chronotype stays in the background until the explanation is clear enough that people can see what Dreamline is doing and what it is not claiming.
