What was I thinking!? (Happened twice over our downtime):

In this dream I was in a lockeroom - probably highschool or a gym of some sort. Something happened, not sure what, but it wasn't my usual dreamsign - I started to suspect I was dreaming. My first impulse was to shout out "I'm dreaming, ain't I?!" and then try flying. But instead, I thought (rationally?) "I won't make a scene here in the lockeroom, I'll do it later when no one is around".



The dream went on - I forgot all about the reality check!

The same type of thing happened in a more recent dream.

My question is this, was I lucid or not in these dreams?
If I was, should I have even cared what anyone would think of my reaction?
Is it even possible to be aware of lucid dreams (within a dream) without becoming aware right then?

Only one good thing about these past two experiences - I didn't have to rely on my typical dreamsign to be tipped off. Maybe I'm slowly gettin the hang of this.
