I tried to do like you and ask my guidance for a dream that would reveal my specific mission last night, but what I remember of the dream doesn't make a lot of sense. I was at my workplace, but instead of selling groceries it was some sort of scientific community, with guys walking around in lab coats and stuff. One of my friends was a scientist there, and he was angry because there was an award he wanted and another guy was getting it instead. There were also a lot of small animals in cages...lab animals? I was really enjoying taking them out and playing with them, but a computerized voice told me to stop messing around and get to work...though I didn't really know what I was supposed to be doing. For the most part I was just standing there while these scientists worked around me. I also remember a part where I was walking around outside in just my socks. I was walking with someone who means a lot to me, and we were having a deep conversation, but I can't remember who the person was or what the conversation was about. So am I supposed to be a scientist or something? O__OI suspect that you still feel blocked or inhibited in dealing with the "left-brained" aspect of human incarnation, and I've felt for a while that that may be (at least in part) your mission here: to get the logical and analytical portion of yourself to catch up to the rest of you. I'm certain that your analytical/logical self in fact is perfectly fine, but somehow you have convinced yourself that it isn't. Your dream is your larger self's way of telling you that you are quite intelligent and logical enough to be a scientist, if only you will allow yourself to do so.
As for getting the most out of your dreamtime, the best things that you can do are:
A. Stopping the "internal dialogue" (i.e., quieting the mind, shutting of the constant chatter of the Ego); and
B. Following from A, develop some competence in lucid dreaming.
Don't fret that you haven't achieved these yet; this is hard work, and it demands regular attention and practice. The Castaneda books were a great aid to me in this regard. Have you read them?
