I hope you do get into dream research. In my opinion, there definitely are not enough people trying to figure this all out. I bet you can even find a few people on this forum who could end up being great contacts in the dream research world

I think I know what you mean with those brief flashes of lucidity. I've found that the more I lucid dream, the more I get those brief moments of awareness in my normal dreams. I stopped actively lucid dreaming for a couple years. In my normal dreams, I found that I still maintained a lot of dream control, and got a ton of these lucid moments. Maybe its just a cool side effect of the increased awareness that comes with lucid dreaming. I thnk a lot of people would still consider this a lucid dream, if only a brief and low level one.
