As someone who went through what you're going through. I'd say that this is something that would be best solved in real life. Just my opinion but since your dream takes place in your mind. It's going to be hard to not have your expectations control the behavior of the characters.

What I did was go and talk to random people and ask for the time etc for a bit. Then I just started practicing self-acceptance. You could use your LDs to increase self-awareness and resolve underlying issues.

But don't use it to rehearse.
