I have the same experiences - I know how you feel! It happens all the time - especially with the digital clock. But, I have had about two or three lucids just from looking at the clock as a reality check.
Basically, all you have to do is more reality checks. Whenever I look at the time, or my digital clock, I use it as a reality check (I think this every time), and look twice or more. It will come with practice one day - trust me.
And about the 'impossible' - to recognise these situations more often, though it's harder than the clock rc, you must use another rc. All you do is observe your environment, check that everything is ok - and that nothing is weird. Do it often.
More importantly, overall you (and me lol) need to practice reality checks in difficult situations, such as partys, arguments/conversations, emotional states. This is because you rarely will have a chance to do a rc for the hell of it in a dream, ie you have nothing else to do. You are almost always occupied in a dream.
Hope it helps.
