I started my workbook 5 days ago. The only thing that I wanted to know is this:
Am I on the good path? What more/else could I do?
I always feel like I'm missing something. It would be nice to have some feedback 
Heh heh, no worries, Yossarian... I know how helpful a little feedback can be in order to help determine whether you're on the right track. I'll swing by your workbook and say hi.

Sorry to hear that, man! You know, this is a subject where there's not universal agreement. I know Sageous believes that lucid dream memories are every bit as vivid as waking life memories, but I know for a fact that I've forgotten chunks of lucid dreams before.
Then I think about it more and realize that I've forgotten big chunks of waking life, too, especially when I'm spaced out or bored. So maybe we're not contradicting one another. 
Here's my view on dream recall in general, including lucid dream recall. Heck, this probably applies to waking life memories as well. I recommend going back over the dream in your mind the moment that you wake up. Start to finish, top to bottom, replay the whole thing in your mind. Don't move until you've done that. Once you are sure that you have the whole thing down, take at least a few notes. It may not have to be a complete dream description. For some people, a few sentences, keywords, or whatever are fine.
Dialogue will leave you the quickest, so I recommend writing it down first, verbatim or at least as much as you can remember. Then I'd map things out from a high level with keywords. That may be all you need.
It's a bummer, man, but the good news? You're gonna have lots more lucid dreams to remember.
