Alarm clocks can effect it, that's why it's better to wake up naturally. If an alarm clock wakes me up, I wake up and have to stretch across my bed to turn it off, and it's easiest to remember dreams whenever you wake up and just sit there without moving, and alarm clocks require you to move to turn it off. I've found waking up naturally, I have a much better dream recall. This might not be the same for everyone though. You are probably close to getting lucid dreams. You're putting effort in, and this was actually really good dream recall. Good luck!

Yes, you are close. Most likely you will have one pretty soon, because you're putting in the effort, and that dream that you wrote was actually very good recall. You ARE close and will probably have a LD very soon.

Could you explain why you think you are closer to getting a lucid? This dream doesn't suggest anything out of the ordinary that would indicate improvement.

This dream doesn't suggest anything out of the ordinary that would indicate improvement. the fact that i was confused why i was driving on the street doing something not ordinary and it is illegal to do it ... in my dream i was confused because im a 15 year old teenager and i was driving on the street with a permit which isnt allowed .. but i didnt mind it and let the dream go on .. i think i was close to realize i was dreaming

Keep working at it!

If you were practicing anything that yo need to practice for lucid dreaming (awareness, RCs, mantras), or if you were thinking about lucid dreaming a lot, then having more awareness in a regular dream could be sign of that. A that is a good sign. Happy dreams

In addition, believing that you are close to lucid will also help you get lucid.
