Is there a way to tell your in the astral and not just lucid dreaming?

[Gummage]

Many people say the astral is wayyyyyyyy clearer and realer feeling than any lucid dream is this true? is that the best way of telling? is there any other way to tell the difference?

How can you distinguish usually between the 2?

This is only for experienced projectors please.

Whether you're dreaming... lucid dreaming... astral projecting... remote viewing... etc... you're doing all this "in" the astral (or as I call it, the non-physical).

So don't worry about the labels... they only describe your awareness, NOT your experience. 

This article I wrote will explain it in more depth: http://www.unlimitedboundaries.ca/2012/07/22/labeling-experiences-of-the-non-physical/

Xanth is right. Despite what you're talking about, it's all "non-physical". IF you really want to get it down to the last detail though, normally you can tell the difference between those by how vivid they are. Roaming the actual astral planes can be tricky though, because it feels just as real as the physical realm, however, sometimes it can feel/look TOO real, and you could end up making yourself believe that it isn't.
