   Well.. I would suggest asking your subconscious some direct questions.   
   Plant an idea of what exactly you want in your mind before you go to   
   sleep. When you reach lucidity, try to remember your goal. Then ask a   
   dream character, or just say out loud, things such as "I wish to   
   communicate with my subconscious mind", "I wish to communicate with   
   myself at the age of 5", "I wish to see what I fear most", "I wish to   
   see my deepest traumas".. (but be careful, you usually do get what you   
   ask for, so be ready for some nasty stuff to surface). I'm   
   practical-minded, and I tend to approach things simplistically. But the   
   direct approach usually works pretty well for me.   
      
   I guess I better emphatize the importance of being ready.. if you   
   suddenly are faced with something bad, you must not panic. Never submit   
   to dream monsters! They might try to scare you, hurt you, or even   
   outsmart you. I believe it's just the different parts of your   
   personality manifesting to you. Don't let the bad guys win. This has   
   been said many times, but works wonders: if the dream turns nightmarish   
   and you need help, call for help out loud! You will find your own inner   
   strengths this way. Good luck!   
      
      
   Cheers, KC
