Yeah, same experience here. Your awareness is just so much higher after a WBTB and you're heading into those late, long REM cycles. That tends to give you your all-around best shot at recall. My recall dipped a bit in the past two days, but the post-WBTB dreams managed to hold on.

Having said that, as your recall improves, you'll find lots of interesting stuff happening before the WBTB as well. Early stuff can be a bit more abstract, choppy, and illogical at times, but the vast majority of dreams are at least somewhat cool.

Oh man, I totally get this! I really do. All I can say is that this really does happen to pretty much everybody as they get into this! It's equal parts hilarious and agonizing. All you can do is get a laugh out of it, forgive yourself, and emphasize to yourself to look for these signs. Take the time to review that dream and at that portion, really emphasize what you should have noticed in order to become lucid. The more mnemonic tripwires you can leave for yourself, the better!

One of my old "close calls" when I was starting out was a dream where I was hanging out in a place called "The Lucid Sports Bar". Every television in the place showed people doing all of these amazing sports that you can only play while having a lucid dream. I just sat there watching, imagining how wonderful it would be if only I could have a lucid dream like these people. I mean, come on! Reality check, maaaan!

Seriously, though, it's all good stuff. This means that the idea of becoming conscious in a dream is permeating your thought processes. When this kind of thing happens, you are getting very close. You're changing in all the right ways.
