From reading other people's journals and comparing to mine, I definitely think that there is a spectrum of clarity both within an individual's dreams and between different people. Some people are just lucky to have great dreams. Hopefully improved recall will help you to remember the good ones that you do have. I feel like I am sort of in the middle as far as the vividness of my dreams; a lot are really muddled and indescribable, then others come back as being more vivid yet confusing, and then there are the rare, really special, extremely vivid and detailed ones. And then...even more rare lucids.

I'm not sure if you are stuck with what you have, or if it can be improved (I'm still working on it myself); I only not that practicing recall at least helps you remember the good ones.
