Question about those who use NST.

Ok, so you name your subconsious. What do you do to get the best results? Do you treat it like, a computer, its there for to do your work, or do you treat it like a friend, and talk to it and such. I'm just wondering, because I recnetly decided to try this. I treated it as a friend, and asked it to wake me up after my dream, and let me remember it. I did, but I can only remember bits and pieces. =/ So i know this works, but how do I get the best results?

I recently decided to give this one a try. I like the idea that your subconscious would be more likely to respond if you start addressing it directly. I think it makes alot of sense. But I actually asked myself the same question just the other day (I've only been trying it since monday.) And to tell you the truth, I do a little bit of both. Sort of like a person who's there to help you out. "Alright ____, make sure I don't forget this." or "____, remember to do this while I'm dreaming." And believe it or not, On Monday Night, I was dreaming I was at a pool party with a bunch of people, and all of a sudden someone started talking about dreaming, out of nowhere. Now I've heard of people getting cues in their dreams like something saying the word 'dream' and things, but in all my years of dreaming that has Never happened to me, which is a pretty cool coincedence. (if it Is one. ) So I would figure it is whatever helps you. After all, its your subconscious, so just choose whichever way you think it would respond to you best.
