i really like these points op and you put into words some things that i couldn’t describe before.

personally i’ve always assessed lunar sway based on how a person best processes things, whether they react directly/externally vs indirectly/internally.

as a broad rule, prospit dreamers seem more likely to take the world at face value and therefore interact with others at face value. they’re typically “what you see is what you get” types, because that’s how they perceive the world, or at least is how they believe the world is best perceived. that isn’t to say they can’t be skeptical or distrusting, or that they’re shallow. it’s just that they work best with this particular perspective, when they are able to “respond” or ”react” to something external. which i think is why a lot of prospit dreamers tend to seem very emotive and uninhibited. there’s not usually a “deeper meaning” with them. though they may be able to pinpoint one, their response usually remains direct and/or true to themselves as ever. and having such responses to things makes prospit dreamers dispositions range from being idealistic and having their head in the clouds to being quite down to earth. and the fun thing is that this manifests in different ways for different prospit dreamers, because each character has a different way of processing and responding.

for derse dreamers, it’s basically the opposite. they tend to process things on an internal level. they’re not usually the type to be in your face unless they themselves intend to make that impression, and what you see is usually not exactly what you get (or they TRY to present themselves like such) because they believe the world is not as simple as it seems. the world will show them something, and instead of immediately responding, they are more likely to send this information into levels of internal processing where they will decide what to do based on multiple layers of things that might as well just be between them and god. i think this is what makes derse dreamers look skeptical, cynical, and/or mischievous - they are more prone to thinking of “deeper meanings”, i suppose, and so instead of just reacting to the Thing itself, they are more prone to react to the deeper meanings of said Thing. and again this doesn’t make all of them brooding or super mega overthinkers or anything, because it’s just the way they process things + just like prospit dreamers they also each have a different way of responding to things.

it also goes without saying that im a firm believer that no sway is superior to the other, these traits could make great strengths if utilized well, or great flaws if not, and anyway not much can be said about Superiority here since the idea is based on two ways of processing situations themselves, and not one’s response to them.

i have no idea if any of that made sense but i hope my vision is conveyed? the distinction is somewhat akin to S vs N in MBTI, with a bit of wiggle room here and there since imo lunar sway assesses a person’s entire being
