I suppose the main difference is that I may forget details, or have trouble remembering them sometimes. But I often forget things in my waking life too.
I'd say if you wake up right from a lucid dream, you have a good chance of remembering most of it, if not all of it.

You remember details more clearly if they are more important to you. Since lucid dreams are important to most people, they tend to be much easier to remember than non-lucid dreams.
Thanks for the replies guys. This was just a thought I had that was a little worrying (haven't my first ever lucid yet, but I'm trying again -- hopefully this is the time I stay dedicated enough).
