Let $x, z \sim N(0,I_p)$ be two independent multivariate Gaussian random variables. The question is whether the dot product x'z is a Gaussian distributed variable.
My guess is that it is not. However, I cannot find what is wrong with the following argument. Consider the joint distribution of (x'z, z). We can write p(x'z,z) = p(x'z|z)p(z). Since conditionally x'z|z is a Gaussian and $z$ is Gaussian, the product of two Gaussian densities is a density of a multivariate Gaussian variable. Therefore (x'z, z) are jointly Gaussian, which implies that marginally x'z is also a Gaussian variable.
