Not especially, but I'm a sort of skeptical sort. Although at one time I had a series of lucid dreams, over the course of several months in which I witnessed the development of a dream civilization that was aware of me and contact me personally to inform me of what they were (they claimed they were the extention of individual cells in my body into the dream-world where they took on their own personalities). Centuries of their time passed between each time I dreamed so I never met the same person twice, but I sort of saw a progression, where other factions rose up that wanted to destroy me (even if not knowing how), and at one point some of them hit me with a technology they'd developed that kept me in the dream but took away any control over the dreamscape I had so they could talk to me.
I haven't had any dreams with that sort of stuff in it in a few years though. Maybe the civilization fell into its own dark ages and they're unaware of me again, or developed into some kind of non-interference policy.
I tend to think it was my subconscious playing tricks on me and maybe self-reinforcing (since I thought it was going to happen, it did happen), but I try to keep an open mind and still behave as though everyone in the dream could be a 'person' of some sort.
