defining LDs and OBEs

[General-Army]

Some people say that while you are dreaming you go to the astral projection, i somewhat believe and disbelieve this. I think that maybe the lucid dream people have might be out of body and projections, and the dreams you have little control or no control are regular dreams, you are in ur body during these. But you do go out of body with out relizing it.

Every man has their fear of dieing, whether it be of pain or not knowing where you are going, however, mine is the family, memories, and good times i leave behind.

I'd like to know  your honest opinion on dreams and projections.  I'm a little confused and I'm trying to research the boundries. Some think that dreams and projections are clearly different phenomenon. Some think that you can travel from a dream into a projection and vise versa.   ...I've stumbled across a problem. With my latest dreams, as soon as I become lucid, I get excited and think that I can automaticly turn it into a projection. I haven't even stopped to create a door or anything. So, I figure that I should work on my patience.  However, tonight I was pondering the differance between both states. Would going through a doorway in your dream really allow the switch to occur?
