Also, once you do wake from that long-awaited lucid dream, even if you've found the control to wake up at the very end, those with shit recall will find the details will dull, and entire story arcs will be lost.
Also, what happens weeks from the dream? Will the non-journaler still remember what went on? Maybe they'd have an inkling as to the jist of it, but all detail, and most accompanied emotion will be swallowed by the distortions of time. . .
That being said, keeping a progress journal in conjunction with a dream journal sounds like a spectacular idea, which I'd recommend to everyone, but doubt they'd actually put in the required effort. A progress journal will prove a great asset to you when using the scientific method to pinpoint the exact conditions during which you have lucid dreams most frequently.
