Shadow in her romance does not talk about this man, Gale discusses about "goddess" constantly. You can even ask him, " do you still love her?" I don't like such romance, it reminds me story with Red Prince, do you know how it ended? Awful.
Shadowheart is so secretive, I wouldn't be surprised if her dream lover turns out to be a fellow Sharran. Astarion has nightmares about Cazador, but at the same time he considers them a fair price for the tadpole powers. Gale I suspect is just lying about his dream. But ultimately the absolute uses those figures to convince the companions (and the main character) to join the cult, so even if one is a dream lover and the other a nightmare, the end goal is the same. I'd consider Astarion to be the most likely companion to betray the PC, even if romanced, to the absolute.

He doesn't consider them a fair price, he just believes that you need to survive in any way. But this has nothing to do with the topic of our discussion. I have no idea what Gale is dreaming about, I know that in almost all the cutscenes he talks about his relationship with the goddess and even shows her projection. Wyll also has an "ex-relationship", but at least he talks about it with anger, and Gale with regret. So Gale's romance looks bad for me (for now). And if he's lying to us, it makes it even worse!

I agree with you about Astarion, he looks like someone who would throw you into the abyss to save his own skin.

I don't speak english well, but I try my best. Ty
