I guess ill just continue my weird way. Fall asleep within 30 mins, dream within the next 60, wake up and write in journal, go back to bed and wake up the next morning with no further dream memory.
DILDs, which is what you had, can happen in any dream cycle, first or last, or in between.

We only worry about which cycle we are in, when we are going for a WILD or a DILD with WBTB. When we are trying to actively induce it, or give ourselves better chance. And that's because, first REM is only about 10 min long, after 80 min of NREM. But as we sleep, NREMs get shorter and REMs longer, so we have more time, thus better chance of becoming lucid.

It's also easier to become lucid, when we are close to waking up, since our mind is slowly becoming aware.

And congrats
