My two cents:
I think the nudity might be more about honesty than sexuality. I think there's a theme of sexuality in the dream too, but I would interpret it as revealing something honestly about your sexuality.
The unmade bed is also about honesty and about an authentic relationship with your T. Neither of you needs to hide from the other. His unmade bed (or his sexuality) is not a threat to you. His sexuality is somehow 'normal' (marital bed), not overt (it's just a bed, not a slug), but manifestly present (you're sitting on his bed and it's unmade).
When you mow the lawn you reveal something about your body, but you want to take it back again because later, when you show your T, it hasn't been mown. You insist you've done it, because you remember doing it, but somehow he hasn't seen it. You need to reveal yourself again.
In your dream he tells you that you've been dreaming: now that's the bit I find most fascinating. He disputes the reality of your revelation. But you know he's not right.
Taking it all together I wonder if you feel his sexuality is coming between you and preventing you from revealing yourself completely, so that he is unable to understand fully what you're trying to tell him.
But maybe I'm overinterpreting...
