Lately, it seems that often when I have a lucid dream I become convinced that I'm acting out the dream in reality in my sleep.
This is usually followed by a false awakening in which I find out that I did something embarrassing whilst lucid (e.g. sleep-walked nude around the house whilst people were there, or worse).
Anyone else experience this? I never actually sleep-walk in reality; I only dream that I did.
I've never had this. On the other hand, I haven't had many lucids either :)
Perhaps you can try to do something that defies the laws of physics, like fly, to ensure yourself that your body is indeed still in bed.
I've thought something similar- that I'm sleep-talking whenever I say something in a lucid dream (which, for all I know, may be a reality). It prohibits me from doing/saying anything, uh, risque', which really sucks because that's much of the fun of a lucid dream. :)
I once DID sleep talk in a lucid dream. My brother heard me. Luckily it came out all funny so he couldn't really understand what I was saying.
I'm pretty sure you can't sleepwalk while dreaming because dreams occur in REM sleep. And I'm pretty sure you don't sleepwalk in REM sleep.
I may be wrong, however. I've been wrong before.
I probably should do a reality check on "waking" from the lucid part. I have a feeling I will remember next time. :)
