Getting Started with Astral and Lucid

[Archangel Michael]

Hi

I'm new into OBE topics. I had the interest long time ago. I let it go because the subject seemed to be so complex. Recently, my interest grew up after reading about other people's experience on OBE. So, now I've decided I'm no longer going to let the complexity of the subject to stop me.

I have questions though...

I want to experience these:
- Astral Projection
- Lucid Dreaming
- Remote Viewing
- OBE.. (or is both AP and LD under OBE?)

Most probably I will go after books that will teach about them.

1. Which one I should start learning first? Astral? Lucid? ...

2. Does by mastering one of them, I can master the other?

3. I want to know where I can find clear distinction between Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection. An explanation dedicated to person who are very new to the subject. Does anyone know where I can find this?

Thank you.

In my understanding lucid dreaming is where you realize that you are dreaming, I have heard that you can control the dream, but I do not really know. I have only had one real lucid dream and I only was able to control myself... ^^ hope that makes sense. anyone correct me if I am wrong

here is some dictionary definitions of the two. I cant really explain much myself, but I hope it helps.
astral- of or relating to a supposed nonphysical realm of existence to which various psychic and paranormal phenomena are ascribed, and in which the physical human body is said to have a counterpart.
lucid dream- experienced with the dreamer feeling awake, aware of dreaming, and able to control events consciously.
