Thanks for posting about your lucid dreams zcoder. Freud called dreams the royal road to the unconscious. When Freud and Jung were still friends they used to analyse each other's dreams. Jung would use dream work and also active imagination which he thought could actually be more productive than dream work. I think that lucid dreaming can actually incorporate both of those element. The author that I referenced in my prior post stated that he choses not to take antidepressants to suppress the SP because lucid dreaming can aid in individuation and wholeness which Jung considered to be the ultimate goal of psychotherapy. Here is an interesting documentary about Jung. He also met a lady in his dream similar to what you described.

Also here is a link to a very good book that uses Jung's psychology that most people can use on their own.
