The first step we may take in connecting our conscious with subconscious is to take time (each day, if possible) to ponder our dreaming. Not to judge or necessarily to interpret in any way. But, to mostly listen. To ourselves.
Why do I think it is important to learn and do Hypnagogia and Lucid Dreaming? This is why. To communicate with oneself. To open the pathways between the conscious and subconscious in oneself wider and wider. This is the Well of Inspiration and the Holy Grail of Creativity. We each possess it.
So take a little time out to ponder your dreaming. Write them down, if you wish. But, don't feel beholden to it. It may strengthen it, but it can also make you feel tasked. Enjoy your dreams. Wonder on them. Let them be a special part of your morning or day. With a cup of coffee or tea as you wake up. By enjoying it, the conscious and subconscious will begin to seek each other out. To look for more communion. And other paths will begin to widen out. Then meditation will become a key.
