5 lucids in one nap. What caused it?

Hey guys, some of you know me, some of you don't, but that doesn't matter!

What matters is that i just had 5 LDs in 2 hours (LD count in typing moment = 6) and i really need help finding out what the hell happened.
I know about dreamchaining using DEILD, but i don't feel like i really woke up between the dreams.
I will describe what i did from going to take a nap to waking up.

I went to take a nap around 1pm to attempt WILD. After trying for about 40 minutes i rolled over and went to sleep (normally i go for atleast 1½ hours before giving up, but i was very tired).
I feel asleep after (i guess) 10 minutes.

Dreams:

1. I had a dream where i got raped by 2 dudes and i was screaming and shouting for help. Suddenly i just knew it was a dream and the dudes immediately vanished.
This is most of what i remember from this dream but i do distinctively remember it ending. Suddenly my vision just lost focus and everything turned black. Then.

2. I was at my job fixing a printer while my boss was yelling at me (he has never yelled at me before). Then i became lucid simply by hearing him get angry and proceeded to run out into the shop to see if everyone was there but the place was empty. Eager as i where, i then ran outside to try out flying and failed horribly. I then proceeded to run 5km to my home town, trying out all different sorts of travel "modes" like: Jumping, gliding, all four, flapping arms, etc.
About 1km from the town i got the same darkness as last time.

3. Right from the start i am fully lucid and remember any and all things that happened in my last dream. I was at the main street walking towards my home at the other end of town. I meet people along the way, greeting them, never forgetting the fact that they weren't real i followed the "flow", i just kept on walking. Halfway up the street i saw a brothel (it's not there in real life) so i went inside and talked to a bunch of people. (And no, i didn't "use" the facilities, the rape thing was still in my mind.) Someone asked to see my phone, so i immediately remembered that i always wanted to try using a phone in a lucid. I tried to unlock it, but my display was messed up and the icons wouldn't load. Then, darkness.

4. I woke up in my bed, not opening my eyes (i thought i were awake at this point) going for a DEILD. I could then hear someone sneak around in my room, going around my bed and stopping at the end (thought it was my brother playing tricks). I stayed completely still hoping to fall asleep into a lucid again, but suddenly i was kicked in the (pardon my french) BALLS! By some guy yelling: "It's your fault my parents are dead, Eric Cartman". Now, while i know that sentence is funny in this scenario, it struck me as incredibly odd at the time that he would think i was Cartman. Right after thinking that thought, i was lucid again. No need for RCs or anything, at this point i just knew. I ran downstairs jumped out a window and immediately took off at high speed flight! (yay!) Then, darkness.

5. I found myself in my yard approximately where i took off in the last dream. I was "still" lucid and i didn't feel any need to reconfirm it. At this point, i can still remember all the dreams that i have had so far, so i use my experience from the previous dreams to have more control. Flying, breaking my house with my fists, etc. I then went to visit the neighbour to show of my superman-like skills, only to find them not questioning anything. Then, darkness.

awake 3:16pm

The details of the dreams have been cut down dramatically.
The darkness between the dreams lasted between 15-45 seconds.
The average length of each dream was about 8 minutes.
In the darkness, it felt like i was still able to move an invisible dream body. (why i think i didn't wake up completely in-between)

I would really like to hear peoples thoughts on what could have caused it.
I found this experience mindblowingly AWESOME (except from the rape part. -.-) seeing as i only had 6 LDs in the last 5 months, and i would like to replicate it!
Any general thoughts and questions are also very welcome!

Sorry for any bad grammar.

No matter what it was, or why, it was AWESOME! Congrats!

What I can say from my experience with DEILDs.

During each transition from one LD to another, I had transition effects. Like falling through bed, flying at high speed, trying to get out of my body doing flips and somersaults, throving myself head first down, thinking about best way to "get out" into lucid. And I had visuals, I think most of the time, if not each time. Between dreams, I was consious, but I was not in a dream. I could tell for sure, one ended and next one started.

Did you have any transition sensations? Did it feel as you are between lucids, or maybe still in a dream, waiting for a dreamscape change?

And what caused it? I believe you were just in right conditions. You didn't wake up completely after a dream, stayed consious, but also more asleep than awake. Thinking about you wanting to do this helped too.

And good job remembering the whole thing.

Well, leading up to each darkness period it felt like i got more and more "disconnected" and then i lost all senses from that dream (If it was cold outside the cold feeling disappeared), then darkness.
Inside the darkness it felt like i was awake, but i could not hear/feel/see anything from reality. It felt like being dragged through water in complete darkness, the water rushing past your skin, only this felt more like "thick" air. :s i know it sounds weird.
My body felt like i could move it freely, and i did, I just couldn't see it. It wasn't scary, it actually felt kinda nice.
