Well, I don't know if you could call it a "dryspell" since I never did have consistent LDs, but I can finally count last night's LD a true LD (as opposed to some of those short "hiccup" LDs I had).

What did it? Well, if there was one true answer for that there would probably be no need for most of this site - however, I picked up a little tidbit of info from this post and checked up valerian. It seemed safe enough so I included it with a couple other vitamins I was trying (my little LD cocktail) and VOILA! A successful LD!! Wooo hoo!

Sure, I'll have to try it a few more times to see if it really did the trick. But I know sometimes just having confidence is key and trying a new thing gives us that "edge". But I don't remember really being that confident when I went to bed. It was more of a, "Well, if I don't LD at least I should get some good recall, or even just a good night's sleep"

As for the dream itself: it was great, but not the best of them. All I really did was fly around in this MC Escher type structure. Remembered to do the hands RC (that was freaky!) and did the hold the nose one (didn't seem to work, though. Couldn't exhale and felt my ears pop). Woke up right when I was about to get some (can't even get laid in my own dreams lately!!) The non-lucid portion was much more interesting.

Last night's cocktail recipe:
100 mg B-6
250 mg Magnesium
400 mg Valerian
