This is an analysis of my five star dreams and what they have in common to help get an idea of how to have more good dreams.

• Productivity/learning IRL. The Sixth Sense influenced the Golden Age, a real life social problem caused Serendipity,  and the day of orientation at VA Tech I dreamed A!R! The exception to this are during my cruises in real life, which did not have any five-star dreams, hinting that vacation is not the key to having them.
• Companionship Focus. In only one 5-star dream have I been alone. In one-star dreams, I am either alone, or those that surround me always give off a negative impression. Companionship is so important that more than about 80% of five-star dreams focus or feature on more than two characters. However, I will note that only one person has been in three or more 5-star dreams reoccuring (Abby, in CHARISMABBY, To The Sun, and Action! Romance. Soul Mate could be arguable).
• Music. This is specific to myself due to my love of music. A lot of 5 star's, such as A!R!, Serendipity, Piano Battle, True Synthesia, and even Detective 9sk, featured a cool soundtrack that boosted the surroundings and enjoy-ability. 
• Fantasy element. While I have had a lot of realistic dreams overall, most of my 5-star dreams are impossible and wacky.
• Conflict. < 1/3 of my 5-star dreams have no conflicts of any type. This makes sense: problems must be overcome to feel achievement.  Even the exceptions have some type of advancement of relation involved or a fun activity within them.
• Light/dark balance.  Five-star dreams always have a bright setting to contrast against this to represent hope and joy. In contrast to this, the vast majority of one-star dreams are in a gloomy or dark location. 
• Novelty element.  My heroine (the first five-star) had the first suggesting romantic interaction, as well as finally saving me from the flood in my nightmares long ago; Out-witting the robbers had some character lying for the first time; SLEIGHT OF CARDS was highly unpredictable; SOAR was one of the only times flying had succeeded; Action! Romance! had a unique combination of two genres; and most notably OZ&SHIOM has three goals accomplished in one dream. 
• "Softened ending". Only one 5-star dream has ended on a cliffhanger, and most have rather wrapped up decently nicely with a touch of emotion (kisses are the most obvious one, but music is key too). Usually, this touch is not the focus of the dream (in other words, it is not the best part). The only exceptions where the ending ended in an emotional climax rather than a touch-up were SOAR; ACTION! ROMANCE!; Space Adventure and SERENDIPITY.
• Lucidity Relation or vice versa. (Correct as of 4/4/2019).  Half of 5-star dreams are lucid (about 51%, at 38 dreams thus far), this is massive compared to my normal 15% rate of lucidity.  Even the other way around, almost 20% of my LD's are 5-stars,  much higher than my overall 5% 5-star rate. The fact that I have had only one lucid nightmare also further asserts the relation of lucidity to dream quality. 
• Feeling of accomplishment. A lot of really annoying dreams are 1 or 2 stars because my power is limited or I cannot complete a task. Some great examples are how in The Fish and the Superheroes I was unable to go across some netting to get to some skyscrapers, while OZ&SHIOM had me directly access said skyscrapers. In another, I failed to declare I was the crowned prince of Darius, while another five-star dream made me the owner of a hotel which was named "Darius".
• Importance of conversation. This is arguable as a pattern has yet to clearly appear, but only 9 out of 60 five-star dreams are wordless (no important conversations), while a little more than half of my 13 nightmares are wordless.  Information is difficult to convey without clear words, but I believe pain is easier to deliver than joy, explaining this "data".
