Same thing happens to me sometimes. I am walking along and think, yep, this is a dream, but I don't want to jump up in the air because if it was not a dream, everyone would think I was stupid. |

Damn it! This night I was dreaming that I stood in front of a mirror looking at myself. I noticed that my hair was really long (the way I had it for about a year ago). I thought to myself "wait a minute! I've cut off my long hair. This has to be a dream"! I wasn't completely sure though, so I looked in the mirror again. This time my face was really weird, so I thought it HAD to be a dream! I thought "I have to say it out loud", but then I realized I was at a party so I didn't want to yell it out like that. So for about 5 secs I really didn't know what to do, should I yell "I'm dreaming" and hope that it was true, or should I forget about it and not make a fool of myself. Then I decided I would yell it out, and just as I were going to, I woke up! GAH! |

Yeah, the 'embarassment' factor is a real barrier against attaining lucidity. There's no advice I can give you beyond Seeker's wise (as usual) suggestion, but I just thought I'd post here anyway. |

Yeah, happned to me once I was at school in a dream and became lucid... but I was too afraid to do anything fun. |

wait a minute, do u guys need to declair to the world that ur dreaming to become lucid or sumthing? cuz if u know that ur dreaming, why be all shy about it, jeez, lol. if i were at that party and become lucid, i'd like blow a hole in the wall sending house pieces and people along with it (yesh yesh, i'm still in my violent stage) and fly off to have a Neo/Smith Duel with my arch - nemisis. just my thoughts though, lol... |

It's that we are not 100% sure at the time. I would REALLY hate to do something stupid and find out that I was awake! |
