Dream: Clinical Study

Date: 12/2/2022

Lightly napped and dreamt i was a single afab genderfluid person who was actually named Ash but went by Marko. I was also still a broad-shouldered quarterback looking woman (just not near as much of a gut.) I was part of a clinical study thing to help with repopulation as the birth rate was pretty low. The process was that each female was assigned a number and given an injection. The injection would help with making our bodies more susceptible to becoming pregnant and often had a side effect of making us more "charmed" by our designated partners. Like we'd be more touchy and gentle with them or something. My designated partner ended up someone named Jeff who was amab, nonbinary and preferred the name Faunda. They were about two or so inches taller. A slimmer frame but definitely had some muscle tone. We were both awkward with each other at first. As the first couple weeks were about getting used to your partner and not the repopulation part. Once Faunda and I explained our chosen pronouns and names... Well we became less awkward. We'd catch ourselves holding hands as we talked till it was lights out and we had to return to our rooms. We'd also often hug each other when reunited each day. The first couple weeks were starting to speed right by. Faunda had certainly gotten protective of our companionship. There were some amongst the study patients who felt that Faunda should be with a less masculine looking woman. Which often led them to snap and treat them like they were jealous that we had a bond that wasn't strictly skin deep. Another thing, that we all learned later, is that the study patients could sense when their designated partners were in distress. Something learned the hard way near the start of week three. One of the women awoke in the middle of the night just screaming. She shouted for someone to check on her partner. It was too late. He had hung himself. The bond had been so strong between them that she went catatonic after that. Her family was compensated for her time there and the facility even paid for her psych treatment in hopes she might come out of the catatonic state. Faunda and I became worried after that. We promised to tell each other if something really was bothering us. We were also heavily nervous about the impending sex parts we'd have to perform to keep as part of the trial.  I soon awoke after that.
