I really hope that it's as you say, meaning that I need dozens of micro-LDs at final REM, before they start happening earlier.

Replying to your ADA comments: Well, the problem is that it's very rare to notice something "weird" on a dream, unless you are one of those ADA masters that are around this forum. Even if during the day I may "stop" sometimes to think about where am I, why, where I was before, etc... and look a bit around me hearing noises or looking for anything unusual, it still doesn't happen on my dreams. In fact, a few times happened that I was chating with a DC about something and mentioned things related to dreams, without stoping to think that I already was in one.

Thanks!
If you're getting lucid with some regularity then you're doing things right. Some people go years without getting lucid even once so consider yourself doing very well. 6 months is not all that long in lucid dreaming practice. Take the long view and you'll see that you're doing great. It's not my opinion but sivason's (a guy with decades and thousands of lucid dreams under his belt) who said that it takes approx 100 lucid dreams to get to the point where start getting lucid earlier and earlier.

I have some "noticing weird things" in dreams resulting in lucidity but not very much -- mostly I just realize I'm dreaming.

Cultivating a positive expectation that you WILL notice things in dreams will certainly help.
