This is an educational, evidence-aware guide—not a diagnosis or a medical review. Personal context and qualified care take priority.
Interpret carefully
What might it mean?
The experience may reflect growing familiarity, emotional distance or a reduced sense of threat.
There is no single universal meaning. Emotion, personal association, health, culture and waking-life circumstances are more useful than a fixed prediction.
Look at the whole picture
