I too have wondered a lot about being somewhat ace/aro/demi, and it seems likely for me, but yes still understanding what feels like a disconnect from love is a difficult one. I think part of it for me is when they're not actually with me, I feel very disconnected from them, mostly because I can't see or hear them, and I almost forget what they're like in a sense.
I agree with the hatred thing! All of my friends don't understand how I do it but I don't really feel hatred towards people. I can't exactly speak much for the feelings of love, but it certainly is interesting. I do have a strong sense of humour
For me, I don't dream particularly often or atleast don't remember them very frequently. I find dreams to feel quite real, and especially when I experience negative dreams or some kind of emotional dream, when I wake up, it felt very real and I'm left feeling odd or teary.
It's one of my favourite things! I too do a similar thing whenever I am asked to imagine things, or just give them a stern look until they realise what they've said. Me and my other friends with apantasia also make jokes surrounding aphantasia.
