I think I'm Becoming More Lucid

So, after finding this subreddit and being interesting in all things related to dreaming for years, I've been trying to lucid dream for the past month. Due to a medication I'm on I've been having very vivid dreams that I remember easily, but I want to take it a step further.

I've been doing frequent RC's and also keeping a dream journal in order to accomplish this, and I think I'm getting closer to becoming lucid. The other morning I was having another rather vivid dream, and at this particular moment I was in an alley with a dream character. My alarm went off IRL, and I heard it within my dream, although it didn't wake me up or immediately distrupt the dream. The dream character asked me "Do you hear that?" in response to the alarm and I can remember responding to that question before my dream slipped away and I woke up.

I'm hoping next time I can hold onto the dream or just plain old notice it's a dream and perform a RC. I just thought I'd share my experience, since I enjoy reading about other people's experiences on here!
