Lucid Dream

I had my first real lucid dream last night. It was WEIRD. 
I don't remember all of it, unfortunately, (even lucid dreams have that problem), but there are some rather interesting highlights. I think it started with me standing on a balcony in a school, looking down on a basketball game (or some similar sport, I don't think what I saw exists as any sort of real sport), and then I think, "Wait, what? Why am I in a school? I've been homeschooled my whole life... oh gosh, I'm dreaming. This is a lucid dream!"
And then I jump off the balcony, miss the ground, and start flying. Then I remember that suddenly trying to do something really exciting in a lucid dream will usually wake you up, and then I wake up. Then I think, "Darn, I woke up, I wish I could fall back asleep and resume the dream." So I do exactly that and continue flying. (In retrospect, I suspect that may have been a false awakening. I did not feel the the usual fatigue that one feels when awakening directly from REM sleep.) After that, random stuff happens (I can't remember exactly what) and then I find a supply closet, imagine that it leads outside, walk through it and escape from the school. Faced with two guards, I look for a weapon, find none, so I reach into my pocket and imagine a laser gun, which materialized in my hand. I fire at the guards and kill them. Then I felt sorry for killing the guards, so I rewind the dream to back when they they were alive (this was by far one of the weirdest parts), but they shoot at me so I kill them again. Afterwards, a friend of mine follows me outside and tries to convince me to return. I try explaining to him that he's in a dream and that he's only an imaginary copy of someone I know IRL. He only believes after I show him my watch, which keeps showing random letters and numbers each time I look at it. (This is a good way of achieving lucidity in a dream, FYI.) More random stuff happens and then I jump out of a skyscraper, float in mid-air for a while, get bored for a while and decide to wake up and resume the dream some other night.
