Interesting theories Joe, thanks. You say lucid dreaming may help cut down learning curves; that would be useful with regards to my piano practice! I think your "difficulty in control" comment is interesting, because the feeling I get when I can't play properly in a dream is very similar to that when I'm quite drunk. Alcohol, as we know has a major impact on motor function, and it is interesting that a similar detrimental effect is experienced in these dreams.
With regards to playing in front of audiences, I never have. I've played infront of a few friends though, but never sung. There is an open mic night at a local pub which I always say I will perform at, and my friends usually try to persuade me to get up but I always shy away. I can tell you that isn't a hidden fear, just a plain fear!
On another note, I can't drive, although my dad did teach me for a while about a year ago and I actually did rather well, but I haven't driven since. In some dreams, I'll often get into a car and think- "OK, I know I can't drive, but I know the basics so I'll give it a blast"- and I end up driving quite proficiently (quite satisfying I must say).
Maybe I should get back into driving
