Hmm, interesting, and it sounds positive. Great!

Maybe this has to do with your ability to understand emotional/symbolic/intuitive content in your interactions with him. Interestingly you are looking at an inspirational book. Perhaps this has something to do with this.
That's an interesting interpretation, but somehow I doubt it has anything to do with homosexuality. I think this is just a misunderstanding from my point of view while being in the astral body. It's like, it's the only possible way to interpret the message. Like I can't speak the language he's speaking, and the meaning gets lost in translation. Something like that, but I don't know.

The act of coming up with a poem might be a lesson in learning to communicate this way. Poetry often uses symbolism and metaphor to convey meaning, which is precisely what nonverbal communication also does. Here you probably train to create a little ROTE (like Monroe would say) - many people had to learn some poems by rote as children.
The problems with pronouncing it and speaking also seem to relate to you developing these skills just yet. In certain ways this is not your native tongue. You have to rebuild that skill.
Aha! Just as my native tounge isn't dream-language. I get it, cool.

That can happen in the higher body while it is developing.
The need to develop this body could also be indicated by the incomplete recall and the minor lucidity issues (not knowing what is going on). Recall is more challenging with higher bodies as the recalls then happens "through several layers."
Actually I must confess I have been slacking off lately with dream recall and recordings. Let's just say it's not what it once was. There's been a lot of emotional turmoil lately to deal with, but now it seems I might be getting a breather from all of that. Perhaps it's time to dive back in, into dreaming.
Cheers guys!
