Yes, the fact that you got lots of sleep certainly helped. I usually find after about 6-7 hours I dream constantly until I wake up in the morning.
I find spinning around works better for me than holding something. Your body can produce the sensation of your body in your mind, which makes it seem real again. Works better for me than holding on to something while I drift away. But, it's probably just because I think of it that way that it doesn't work for me!
You should also try to note anything from yesterday that may have affected your body's chemistry. For example, what and when you ate your last meal, the last time you smoked a bowl before bed, things like that. You'll start to see patterns. I find it's best for me not to eat a couple hours before bed and to smoke my last bowl around 6-7 o'clock (not that that always happens, though!).
And, if you're really interested in promoting dreaming, take a small amount of mushroom right before bed (or, alternately, smoke a small amount of salvia leaf). When I do this I take about 0.3g, smoke a big bowl so I go to sleep quickly, and read my dream journal 'til I'm too tired to concentrate.
Oh, and if you plan on getting in to this, get used to trippy dream-related shit during the day! Sometimes I think I'm having a flashback when it's really deja vu from a dream I had that I've never remembered!
Good luck, and if you haven't already, get a dream journal and write last night's dream on the first page!
