I find that I remember my dreams much more clearly when I wake up gradually and naturally. I generally do not remember my dreams when I wake up due to an alarm. This is only a personal empirical observation, so YMMV.

Opposite for me. Moreover, I thought it was common knowledge that you're more likely to report dreaming if your sleep is interrupted. Maybe not?

That is correct, I remember from reading LaBerge's book on lucid dreaming.
