To me, any meditation that follows any kind of a "program" of what is 
supposed to happen during meditation is a kind of guided meditation. 
Active imagination is different from the usual variety of guided 
meditation because it (1) explicitly uses specific concepts from Jungian 
psychology, and (2) it is open ended - that is, a "scene" is set up, so 
to speak, but one doesn't know how things will play out beyond setting 
up the initial parameters.
