I have found S. LaBerge article about the subject (personality in dreams), where he writes: "Although the events we appear to perceive in dreams are illusory, our feelings in response to dream content are real. Indeed, most of the events we experience in dreams are real; when we experience feelings, say, anxiety or ecstasy, in dreams, we really do feel anxious or ecstatic at the time. When we think in dreams, we really do think (whether clearly or not is another matter). If we think in our dreams that Monday comes before Sunday, it is not the case, as some philosophers (e.g., Malcolm, 1959) assert, that we have only dreamed we thought; we may have thought incorrectly (to the usual way of thinking), but thought nonetheless." Lucid Dreaming: Psychophysiological Studies of Consciousness during REM Sleep (1990). So, those really are mistakes.

1. I try to get an overview of the things that happened and take a look at the big things:
In the case of my dream the biggest thing is my former boarding school. It is a place I connect very positive memories with, and it is the only school I didn't regret spending my time in. I was fond of quite a few of the educators and teachers there, even though as always there were a few I didn't get along with. As expected the dream was very positive. The fact I wanted to meet up with the assumed new teachers of this boarding school most likely tells me I miss a few of the old ones as well as missing the place and the circumstances in general.
Than leter in the dream some Pokémon appeared, knowing myself I think this resembled my frustration about the fact humans are the only "sentient" lifeforms here, and they don't do a great job at that. Also it might be a hint that I miss my cat since I see it see it rather rarely currently.

2. Exclude any useless data from further consideration (for now, but don't completely forget about it, as a link might arise from further analysis):
For example the zeppelin didn't really tell me anything, it was simply an odd appearance in my dream, which fortunately got me lucid.
The construction differences also most likely didn't have any meaning.
The screen turned off effect is most likely copied from my time spending in front of the pc.
So data is useless when you haven't any associations with it? But if it is very deep in a subconsciousness, you also will not be able to make it clear for a consciousness. Or am I wrong?

3. Take a look at the left over things:
The mission mentioned at the start: Probably random data due to some games I play, not so random was the fact the next mission was one where I could deal with everything myself, it felt like having free time after school, which is possibly also the link to the boarding school.
Flying down the stairs: I never had any flying experiences withn my dreams, even though it wasn't really flying it was the closest thing to it I ever had. I thought about it a lot and it is obviously one of the things I wan't to do within my lucid dreams. I suppose my subconsciousness catched a glimpse of that desire and made it appear in my dream.
Looking out of the window: Pretty easy, I like the place where my boarding school was and wanted to catch a view of the panorama.
The strange room after becoming lucid: If I think about this place it's a bit difficult to go on with the analysis. I personally know a lot of emotions which aren't on the scale that is usually known to humans such as joy/hate/love/sadness/admiration/intimidation/fright/etc.
Those emotions are often connected to specific otherworldly places and that place was one of them I didn't knew myself before. It was probably created due to me being lucid and creating a link between my aware consciousness and the dream. But as much as I'd like to this is as much as I can read into it without risking to jump to false conclusions.

4. Searching the "read wire":
It's actually two wires because even if it is one dream it is pretty strictly seperated into two parts, with only the link of me becoming lucid.
The first one goes from me getting the new mission to seeing the zeppelin. It's a story about me experiencing my boarding school once more and it's a bunch of positive linked experiences and memories. I realize that but I can't find any further meaning to it than the things I already discovered.
The second one goes from becoming lucid to the end of the dream. It wasn't much a story at all, I threw of the balance of the dream with my half-awareness and again I can't tell any new things apart from the mentioned things.

5. Look at the overall picture so far and search for any incrompehensible details:
That'd be the next step, but for me after doing it I can't get to any new things again.

As it arises from this I didn't learn anything new but it remembered me of a few things. For me that's generally as far as it goes in my dreams and that's also why I don't tend to have any use for dream analysis myself. The part with the room might have some meaning I don't know myself, but even if it has I'm personally not yet able to understand it.
Also it's a rough sketch of how to do it, for some dreams it might be better to make some changes to the process, which I obviously can't explain beforhand.
I can't know which parts of your dream are just wrong conclusions, because I don't know what have you actually seen when dreaming. I can only point out things that may possibly be mistakes.

So I will just try to make mini-analysis of my LD at the beginning of the topic.

If I were telling the dream in a usual way, it would look like this:

I was in the UK, standing on the street which looked like H. Manto street, located in my home city in Lithuania. I saw people with braces and I liked them very much. Then nearby standing man, who was English, told me in Lithuanian that probably they are Lithuanians, because one of them was carrying Kalnapilis beer...

I have been dreaming myself being in the UK, and everything looked like my home. So it definitely relates to my plans about the future (I'm thinking about moving there), and maybe I also think that I will feel there like being home.

But it wasn't the UK. I actually saw my home city (the view was the same), so there were no such meanings in the dream. I thought that it was the UK just because there were too much people on the street and it looked like I was abroad. What is the first country I would think? Of course the UK, I think about it very often. So I made a wrong conclusion that I am in the UK.

That's how I see it. :))
