A few nights ago, I found myself in the ficticious town of Mallabe/Mallaby, England. This almost got me lucid, for the reason that I kept meeting people I know in this town (while I was on vacation, AND I live in Italy), and when asked where we were I could not answer. I don't know why I didn't get lucid, but I had that feeling that I was on the edge of becoming lucid. I found out the town's name by reading it off a sign or something. Which brings me to two questions:

1) What are your experiences on fictional locations in dreams?
2) Does this help you achieve lucidity?

By fictional I mean a non-existant town, not your dream version of an already existing place.
