Astral Projection or Lucid Dream? What do you guys think?

[Kissalove]

So I was trying to AP this morning & the second I fell asleep I went into a dream but I knew what was going on so I was completely lucid. Well, I'm pretty sure it's a dream because I didn't see me leave my body or anything. Well me & my boyfriend & his best friend & his girlfriend were out on one of my neighbors yard like it was our house & I was kissing & holding my boyfriend in the dream because I know my boyfriend is in prison so every time I have a LD my main goal is to go find him because when I hold him & all that good stuff, I can literally feel his skin, kiss, ect... Like he's really here. Well anyways then they got in a car & I got into like a box & that was my car (May I remind you, I was controlling the whole thing.) Then I thought of AP & how people say that you can go into AP from a LD, wellllllll, I decided to go to my boyfriend's mom's house because I wanted to call them when I woke up anyways to go see the family & then I would have been able to tell if they were wearing the same thing or just any similarities so I could prove if it was AP or a dream. Well I start flying to go there, but I was going really slow & when I thought of his house, I didn't go anywhere. But most of my surroundings were the same as real life except a few things. Usually when I think of a place when AP'ing, I'm there in a heart beat but this time, I had to make myself go. So then I was flying in the apartments across the street from my house & landed & seen 2 weird looking girls walking & decided to talk to them to see what they would say. & I was like, "Hi, who are you?" & they were like, "Hello, do you know who Kristian is?" & I was like, "Yeah I do." (One of my good friends.) Then they asked me if I spoke French, which French is my birth language but I forgot it so I said, "No." But they still ended up talking French to me so I left & I kept on going & 2 guys sitting on a staircase were yelling for me to turn around but I ignored them & I was feeling myself slip away from the dream or AP or whatever. My vision was turning black until I was fully awake just with my eyes shut.

So I'm really confused as if this was an LD turned into AP or just LD or just AP?
Any advice?

This is something people are gonna have to begin to wrap their heads around.

Lucid Dream or Astral Projection: It doesn't matter.
Being one or the other doesn't lessen or increase the fact that you had a non-physical experience!

Stop worrying so much about classifying/categorizing your experiences... and more upon just having them and logging them. 
This was a good "Projection".

In general, I agree with you on that (both are projections), but there can be some differences between an AP and an LD. In this case, I think it matters.

1) An LD normally happens directly from sleep, so gathering awareness can be more difficult, so the experience can be more dreamlike/hazy. At least at the start. I find it to be more difficult to raise awareness than with a conscious AP.

2) An LD normally happens at the same area of consciousness as a regular dream, just with more awareness than a dream, but an AP can extend way past that point. It can be the difference between having a  subjective or objective experience. You don't hear many objective experiences coming right from the start of an LD, because it's more than likely in a lower area of the astral (once again, where we dream).

LD's are good - it's success, but it's also good to learn to take control and gain some objective experience.
