Psychology
Intimacy with someone of the same sex reflects admiration for their qualities, or a wish to accept another side of yourself. The figure often symbolises a charm or strength you want to take in. It does not define your orientation; it may show deepening self-understanding.
Folklore and history
Japanese history and literature record many deep same-sex friendships and attachments; forms of intimacy have varied across eras and cultures. In dream lore, growing close to someone of the same sex signals good friendship luck and a time to accept who you are.

This site's view
In this site's view, the key is what drew you to them. If their confidence, kindness or freedom moved you, that is the very quality you are growing now. Confusion in the dream may be hesitation to accept a new self. Either way, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Going deeper: our reading
Dreams of intimacy with someone of the same sex are said to be common among people of every orientation. Even so, some wake confused and brood alone. In this site's reading, who the partner was brings the dream into focus. A close friend suggests deepening trust and a wish to open up more to each other. A colleague may be respect for their work, in another form. A celebrity or someone you admire may mirror an ideal you hope to become. A complete stranger may mean you are meeting a side of yourself that has no name yet. This is our speculation, but many people may have this dream in adolescence or when entering a new environment, while searching for who they are. There is no right way to take it. If it prompts you to reflect on your own sexuality, that is natural too.
What to do on waking
Choose one of that person's charms and borrow a little of it today, such as standing tall or speaking clearly. A small imitation is enough.
