I think usually soulbonds have strange beliefs, like believing the characters are from another universe and communicate with the host through telepathy from another world or something equally as not true.
she's the prettiest trick my brain has ever played on me

yes? I think that should be obvious from the start?

You know elee, most tulpas are pretty friendly towards their hosts form what I've heard.
You'd have to purposefully make one that hates you for it to happen. (Unless you have some issues, but I assume not)
Being a relationship with something that is not sentient would be missing many things from a normal relationship that are usually considered important.
Such as validation from someone else, that would be missing. She would not want to actually be with you, really, if she is not sentient. There is no way she could have this want, so it would be missing that. There would not be love, as it cannot love.
but like, can't tulpas choose whether to vocalize?

from what I understand correctly.
-You're having recurring dreams with her. (This does not make her sentient. You can dream up other seemingly sentient characters)
-You want a relationship with her.
-She shows no signs of sentience normally.

from this i can conclude that you have
-very strange dreams
-a servitor
In lucid dreaming you're just controlling the environment. So in this case you summon her up, right?
Whereas a tulpa wouldn't require you to have dream powers.
