In Chapter 31 of Dune, Chani was described as the girl who embarrassed
Paul. What was it that she did to embarrass Paul? She simply said: "You
were as noisy as a shai-hulud in rage. And you took the most difficult path
up here."

With all Paul's Bene Gesserit training, why would he become so embarrassed
by that simple remark? Was it because Chani was a girl?

Yes, but hadn't Gurney given him criticism of this type without Paul
becoming embarrassed?

Okay I hear what your saying, but wasn't this the first time Paul ever saw
Chani? Is it credible that he was in love with her already?

But he had already seen her in his dreams many times. I suppose you can fall in love with someone that you only have met in a dream, especially the kind that he had. I am not sure if he already had had a dream at that time of them being lovers, but I remember that he did have such dream before they actually did.

That's what I was thinking as well.
