This is indeed a doable skill, Figurefly.
As Sensei says, with practice you ought to be able to sinc up your dream clock with your waking clock pretty well. I'm not sure if you will get exact matches every time, but you will likely do better than within half an hour... especially if you have a specific or important reason to rise at that time.
I think this -- remembering to remember to check your dream clock at the correct time, and not just close -- is an interesting use of prospective memory as well, so learning to calibrate your dream clock might just help with your LD'ing in general.
And yes, this might not be a rare phenomenon; especially from my perspective: I have checked clocks in dreams many times, realized it was time to get up, and found my actual clock to be reading about the same time (sometimes exactly). I assume that the "checking" is actually a bit of prospective memory seeing that I wake up at the correct time.
