Well usually you wake up after each dream circle. You just don't remember it because you fall asleep almost instantly. That really was a problem when my father would wake me up in the morning and I couldn't remember him waking me up and slept for another half an hour)
Then I started with a dream journal. I don't do it anymore because I'm lazy, but I still remember waking up multiple times a night and remembering exactly what I just dreamed and notice the memory fading away.
When I journaled my dreams were extremely vivid. It isn't like this anymore but I still sometimes have lucid dreams even though I can't really stabilize and control them.
