Can you ask your subconciouse for favours?

Hypnosis at its roots, from what i can see is a professional asking a subjects subconscious for a favor e.g. "quit smoking" or "stop eating so much" etc

I've only met my subconscious once and she looked like Dianna Agron (who i find seriously hot) for some reason and instead of asking for favors and testing my theory out...i ended up sleeping with her having great sex, but then waking up, haven't been able to have a successful WILD or lucid dream since :(

scenario: in waking life you are someone who never lifts weights or exercises even looking at a dumbbell makes you feel tired and at the same time you could spend over 9 hours plus watching television.

So in theory if you attained lucidity and summoned or asked your dream characters/scape to make your subconscious appear before you and ask your subconscious to change/replace your habits/ cravings; for example instead of craving to watch tv, replace it with a craving to lift dumbbells; instead of having a desire or craving to eat junk food, have a craving to eat plane meat and oatmeal (or something like that).

Basically just ask them to replace one habit with the one you desire more or will be more beneficial and productive to your life in the long - term. Have you tried this before? what were your experiences?

I've always thought that the reason not everyone lucid dreams naturally is because your subconscious maybe doesn't want people messing with their internal drives or circuitry. There are posts on here where people have had dream characters tell them they are not dreaming or act aggressive towards them when they ask their subconscious to do something. I'm open to all thoughts whether you disagree or not it's just something I've wondered about for a while but haven't really found any thing that specific to what I'm asking i.e. asking subconscious to do something without using a hypnotist cheers!:D

This is a very interesting subject that for some reason I never gave a thought until it actually happened to me.
I was after a very bad breakup, sad, but keeping it together. The worst part, though, was that my ex was constantly appearing in my unconsious dreams and also a lot of things (like smells or sounds) reminded me of him. It was making me furious and I would always tell my friends how great I'd be if it weren't for those 'triggers'.
Then I had this weirdest, extremely realistic dream in which I was fully consious, but also convinced that it's not a dream, but some kind of different, altered state. At first I even thought that I passed out and woke up someplace else, cause that was so real. But then the strangest things started to happen so I decided it has to be some altered state of counsiousness.
Normally when really dark stuff happens in my LDs and I cannot control it I wake up. But here...It was truly terrifying, but I couldn't wake up. Now that I think about it I suppose it may have had something to do with my subconsiousness trying to make me wake up so I wouldn't make changes to it.
Anyway, after this series of very scary events I found myself in my room, where I felt safe. Then I heard this voice, but it wasn't coming from a scenery, more like from the back of my head. And it said something like 'Ok, so you made it this far so let's do this.'
And then my ex appeared in front of me. Well, he was more like a mannequin than a person, but I felt strong emotions towards him.
So I started talking and it was a very tough monologue, I felt variety of different emotions, was crying all the time. Basically I wanted to ask him to stop appearing in my dreams and associations but it was hard for me to do so, cause it would be like a final goodbye. A few times I was close to saying 'You know what, just stay', but I fnally managed to ask him to leave.
When I did my mannequin-ex dissapeared and I heard the voice again. It said 'Well, you've won, he won't be bothering you again'.
Then things started to feel more like a normal lucid dream. I drew a portal on my wall through which I jumped into my favourite band's concert cause I felt like I deserve it :P
I never had a dream about him again and random thoughts about him would appear in my head less often.
However, I never tried to do this again by myself in a lucid dream. The process wasn't pleasant, but this I think I could handle. I just wouldn't know where to start. This whole 'talking to my subconsiousness' deal seems more advanced than just talking to DCs. If you have any ideas on how to start an interaction with your subconsiousness I'll be very glad to hear them : )
