If your Alarm woke you up in the middle of a N-REM, you won't find yourself in a FA (so a REM dream) immediately.

So the question you have to ask yourself is "ok my Alarm went off, was I just dreaming?'
If yes, you have chances to return to a Dream through FILD, if not, it will probably take much more time than 15s
I don't know when my REM sleep starts, i just know i can remember my dreams
before and after 4 hours of sleep, in the FILD thread also specifies that i can
set my alarm after 4-6 hours of sleep, but after reading the REM sleep thread
i noticed most of N-REM dreams are in a 3rd person perspective. Also before my alarm
went off, i was dreaming on a 1st person perspective, and somehow seemed more vivid
than the dream after i slept again, so i can assume my REM sleep is near 4 hours, I just
don't know how i am supposed to find the exact time of when the REM sleep starts.
