In what I've learned about WILDing at different times of the night/morning, the reason you have an easier time WILDing after you've had sleep as opposed to when you first go to bed is because of the length of NREM (non-dreaming) sleep your body must "sleep" through before your mind reaches the REM phase to become lucid. Here's the idea: you're lying awake in your bed, trying your hardest not to fall asleep, for 90 straight minutes, when you haven't had sleep prior in that night. Sounds right there like it's hard to do, right? That's exactly what's happening there. It has nothing to do with dreams being abstract or not.
As for timing of the night and dream coherency, I can't speak for or against a correlation between the two variables. While I haven't noticed my dreams being more "abstract" earlier in the night (though they do tend to be slightly less vivid than later in the morning), I also haven't been checking for that correlation, and therefore can't form a conclusive statement on the topic. I personally don't feel that's much of a concern though, timing of the night and your dream content.
As for getting lucid, these abstract dreams should become a bridge for you, not a barrier to lucidity. You'll have to find out how to use it for getting lucid if these kinds of dreams persist.
