Dreaming of My Ostomy - A Step Towards Acceptance?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a member sharing their experience of dreaming about their ostomy. They mention that in their previous dreams, they did not have an ostomy, but in a recent dream, they had an ostomy and it was visible. They interpret this as a step towards acceptance and express gratitude for the support group's role in their acceptance process.

Replies with Advice and Insights:
- Reply 2: Indicates that the dream suggests the member's comfort level with their ostomy and that they have largely come to terms with it.
- Reply 3: Clarifies that the member would not actually be comfortable showing their ostomy in public, and acknowledges that dreams are not literal representations of reality.
- Reply 4: Agrees with the previous reply, emphasizing that dreams are not literal and expresses a similar perspective on showing the ostomy in public.

- Reply 10: Shares a personal experience of having memorable dreams related to their ostomy and how it affected their physical comfort during sleep.

Helpful Insights:
