Thanks for your thoughtful response Yaowen. You’ve been more helpful lately than you may ever know! My sleep life hasn’t been disrupted too much by dreams themselves per se, but since I struggle with keeping normal hours and often take melatonin to help me fall asleep I’ve had some pretty wacky dreams since. Since people in the past have said stuff like “well if you’re experience these feelings/sensations why don’t you just seek a relationship??” I have kind of fretted over appearing as hypocritical, or not practicing what I preach even in situations I can’t control, but I feel better knowing that there’s someone like me experiencing the same thing.
