Yes. There are certain techniques used to increase the clarity of dreams. Also vividness, it depends on a lot of different factors but normally during your REM stage (dream stage) dreams will be so vivid that they're like real life. It's hard to remember how vivid dreams are if you're not lucid though, but in my experiences in LDs, they are all extremely vivid. You'll see what I mean once you have a LD

You have to be careful though, because a lot of people get very excited once they have an LD so the clarity melts away until you wake up. Again, there are techniques to retain clarity and focus. Generally you can just dream spin (spin in circles in the dream) or rub your hands and this increases clarity pretty well for most people. Other people have different techniques like yelling "increase clarity" or clapping their hands. Once you get experienced you won't even have to use these techniques an you'll be able to increase the clarity just by focusing your mind.
