On the other hand...
Various places in the Gaudiya shastras state quite emphatically that nari-sanga is strictly forbidden even in dreams.
This verse relates to the story of Chota Haridasa; the bhaktas became so fearful of Mahaprabhu's strict treatment of Chota Haridas that they completely gave up talking and dealing with women. It is indeed a very dangrous thing. One should read the full story of Chota Haridasa as contained in CC, it is much better than reading summaries in books as there are a lot of details and insights to be gained.
dekhi' trāsa upajila saba bhakta-gaṇe
svapne-ha chāḍila sabe strī-sambhāṣaṇe
Observing thus, an atmosphere of fear grew among the
devotees. They gave up talking with women even in dreams.
