You're talking about Dream Incubation. The guts of what you need to do, is to try to think of the topic you want to dream about throughout the day - preoccupy yourself with it, as you would if you were doing reality checks. Read about it before you go to bed, or do another associated activity. For instance, I tend to get "Arabian Nights" themed dreams when I read the Nights before be or play Prince of Persia (a sort of arabian nights themed videogame).

Think about it before you go to sleep, combine it with some mnemonic devices, "I will dream about" etc. Try tpo make it the last thing you think about before you go to sleep.
