How to keep a lucid dream journal
For your journal, record lucidity by asking whether you knew you were dreaming during the dream. Keep that answer separate from how vivid the scene felt or whether you could control it. Falib supports yes, no, and not recorded.

Write the moment in your own words
Save the dream before trying to classify it. If you remember realizing you were dreaming, describe the moment: what you noticed, what you thought, and what happened next. You do not need to turn a fragment into a full narrative.
This is a record of your remembered experience. If the memory is uncertain, say so in the entry. You can leave the lucidity field as not recorded rather than forcing a yes or no.
Keep three observations separate
Awareness asks whether you knew you were dreaming. Vividness describes how clear or detailed the remembered experience felt. Control describes anything you remember deliberately changing. An entry can contain one observation without the others.
Falib's entry details include the question “Were you lucid?” and an optional vividness rating from one to five. Describe any control in your own text. Do not mark an intensely detailed dream as lucid solely because it felt real.
Review your entries with context
Return to your Journal and compare entries from the same period. Look for recurring places, people, or objects in the text. Keep the original account beside your later reflections so you can see which observations came from the dream itself.
Missing answers stay missing: not recorded does not mean no. The number of saved entries also matters when reviewing a period. A week with one recorded dream offers less information than a week with several entries.
Use the journal as a record
Falib provides recording, optional organization, and tools for revisiting your entries. It does not promise to induce lucid dreams, measure sleep stages, or verify dream experiences. This guide describes the journal workflow rather than a sleep-training program.
Your entries start private, including lucid experiences. Public sharing is an additional choice. Browse the product preview with fictional sample entries, or read the private dream journal guide before creating your first entry.
A template to use in your journal
Copy these prompts into your next entry. Leave anything you did not record blank.
Dream date: What I remember: Did I know I was dreaming? (yes / no / not recorded): The moment I became aware (if remembered): Vividness (optional, 1–5): What I could change (if anything): What remains uncertain: Recurring details: My later reflections:
