Let me suggest a few things:
To improve vividness, besides the stabilization routine, you can get results with your dream journal. In your dream journal, try to be pay attention and record sensory detail (color, shape, light, texture, etc.) instead of just narrative (what happened, who was there, etc). Do this for lucid and non-lucid dreams and over time it will improve the vividness of your dreams.
Another trick is DEILD. If you can DILD somewhat regularly but the LDs often fade away, try to DEILD chain them. Often, the re-entered DEILD will be more clear and you'll have more awareness.
Finally, you can plan ahead and try a dream control experiment that will allow you to practice restraint and awareness. Try something very ordinary but that requires you to remember you intent and shift your attention so that you don't get too fixated on one thing. Here's one I suggest: introduce yourself to 5 DCs, one at a time, and have a normal conversation. "Hello... how do you do... what's your name... how did you get here...." Focus on the DC interaction but keep it short and remind yourself to move on to the next one. Another good practice, if there are no DCs around, is to test all 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste).
