It's pretty darn important. Developing a close relationship with your dreams is important in lucid dreaming. You need to become highly aware *of* your dreams in order to become aware *in* your dreams. In journaling you repeatedly probe those memories while you're writing your journal entries. It's that repeated, deep probing where the benefits accrue. It's also a form of intent, showing to your subconscious that dreaming is important to you.

For a similar reason, it's very beneficial to review your dream memories repeatedly before getting out of bed.

Having a journal entry though allows you to see patterns that emerge over time, track changing dreamsigns, and so forth. It's also fun to look back and see all those dreaming adventures!
