This is a vivid dream, you experience the dream but can only do certian things.

My suggestion is that, do not return to the body when you are lucid dreaming to astral project. just use some techniques like, turn around technique where you find yourself in a new place or just think where you want to go. You can go to that instantly :)

This just answered some of my questions. Great post!

I want to post more experiences on lucid dreaming but I haven't had a lucid dream since that last one I posted.

I'm having trouble becoming aware in my dreams. My dreams are pretty vivid none-the-less though, just not lucid.

Awesome Reality Checks, I had my Astral Projection through Lucid Dreaming, Will post the experience soon ;D ;D

Thanks for the Awesome Reality Checks  ;D ;D

I use a similar technique to the above, but I only use the method after sleeping for five or six hours and for me this makes it much more effective.  Many people here will have had experience with the Sleep/Wake/Back to bed type of method, which is a way of increasing the effectiveness of other methods by sleeping for several hours before using any induction techniques.

I use a similar affirmation such as "my next dream will be a lucid dream",  and I try to use as much expectation as possible.  By expectation I mean that I really try to put myself in a state of mind where I am expecting and...(continued)

thanks admin, yeah let me know what you think. Isochronic tones are supposed to be more effective than binaurals but it's good to have another's opinion on it.

Ya sure  :) Ill try this tonight.
