“…In fact, I think that they (Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming) are too related to be at war. Astral Projection is probably just Lucid Dreaming plus…” – Daniel Kelley – Behind The Veil – behindtheveil.simdif.com/index.html
“OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCES – …Scientists Lynne Levitan and Stephen LaBerge counter that OBEs are almost the opposite of a lucid dream — lucid dreamers know they’re in a dream, while people having an OBE think everything’s real [source: Levitan and LaBerge].” – Excerpt from an article by Katie Lambert “How Lucid Dreaming Works” 21 May 2008.
“…professional psychiatrists and Stuart Twenlow compared OBE’s to several different phenomena in psychology such as lucid dreaming,…They concluded OBEs are different. As respected professionals, they did not speculate on what exactly OBEs are they just said they don’t fit into any of these categories, they belong in their own category. – obeoutlook.blogspot.com/2015/03/are-obes-same-as-lucid-dreams.html

“17 Reasons Lucid Dreams and OBEs are Different”
– Graham Nicholls – June 27, 2017 – www.grahamnicholls.com/blog/17-reasons-lucid-dreams-and-obes-are-different
To tell the truth, it is so frequent in my life when I see dreams closer to real life and when I can’t even understand if it was a dream or reality. I have always wanted to explore this theme and your article is the most effective manual in it. It is so interesting to learn what kind of difference between conscious dreaming and astral projection because I think we so often face it but we don’t even notice it. I, like you, totally believe in astral travel and I agree with the statement that it helps to feel an absolutely different world that is beyond us and our usual state. I think we need to practice it to explore ourselves and our mind. Of course, a lot of people don’t understand this difference between astral travel and lucid dreaming but it is a real fact that can’t be disputed because the Science of Sleep keeps so many fascinating unthinkable things in itself about which we are not aware of.
