Telling yourself you wanna dream about something will work. But you just havbe to believe that it will. Belief is HALF the battle when planting autosuggestions. If you fully believe that you will dream about what you want to dream about then it will happen. Now once you believe you wanna get yourself in a state where autosuggestions like that will have more of an effect on your subconscious mind. So heres what you do.

Breath deeply and relax. Tense your fist fully and then let completly let go of it. Put apsolutly no control over it. Just let it flop. Now do this to your whole body while breathing deeply.

After a couple mintes (at leat 5) of doing this count down from 100 to 1 with each time breathing deeper. Then finally once you reach one tell yourself what you wanna dream about.
Now you will take this very literally so you should also wanna tell yourself some details. What i mean by that is you might say "I wanna dream about clouds." when you want to be in coulds. You might have a dream with just you and your friends talking about clouds. That's why it is important to give yourself some details such as the theme. Not to many though you want to surprise yourself.

I used this process several times before I even tried or cared about going lucid.

This leads to a good strategy for going lucid. Tell yourself what you wanna dream about and tell yoruself when you see a specific object that you KNOW will come up during this dream you will ask your self are you dreaming. Cool, ain't it.
