I personally remember my LD's alot better then my non lucids.

For me, yes. It seems my mind puts in much more effort into remembering lucid dreams and exciting dreams more than random video game and friend dreams. Scratch that. I put in more effort in remembering. I scribble a lot for cool dreams, and my mind fuels me as I go with more and more details.

Also, I tend to awaken directly after lucid dreams, notsomuch boring dreams. That helps a lot with remembering.

i remember most of my LDs better

Lucid dreams fade out just like the normal dreams, but as was already said. You wake up directly after them most often, so remembering them is pretty much easier.

I have much better recall on lucid dreams, this is probably because all of my LD's are extremely vivid.

Yea, I would say yes, even before I am lucid the dream is generally lucid-er. In the dream entitiled "Quarter In The Sky" in my dream journal, It was extrememly vivid eventhough I didn't acctually gain control...

P.S. Quarter in the Sky is a good read. Check it out.

For most people yes, because you are much more aware when lucid.
