Hey Ezzo, it sounds like you are being woken by your alarm but not getting up or anything, and just going straight back into the dream. Is that right? It could be that you are just not quite waking your awareness enough. Perhaps before you dive back in, spend a moment to wake up a bit more?
I'm hardly an expert on this, and in fact usually have the opposite problem that if I WBTB I then can't get back to sleep, so I hope that doesn't happen to you!
Anyway, just an idea.
Also, how about using an anchor like FILD as you go to sleep?
