I was wondering what is the difference between:

a) Astral projection and etheric projection.
b) Astral projection and lucid dreaming.

Thanks for replies. If possible detail would be muchly appreciated. Not too complicated though!

I can tell you that Astral projection and Lucid dreaming are different because a Lucid dream is ust a dream you controll, Astral projection is projection you Consciousness into the astral (some people say projection you soul into the astral, but not everybody believes in the soul and i want to have a universal post)

and to add onto that, etheric projection is projection of your entire being while astral projection is just the consciousness. that's the difference :)

I agree with robert bruce. Your etheric body cannot leave your physical body until you die. The reason for that is, your etheric body would have to draw energy from the physical body, wich cannot be done.

Simplest terms...

Lucid dreaming is staying within your own mind.

Astral Projection is being able to project into the astral planes, while your physical body is unconscious, yet able to retain the memories of the event ( for the most part )

Etheric projection is projecting within the physical plane and higher planes while your body is conscious. This includes what we call Out of Body Experiences, as well as a form of Astral Projection. Again, the biggest difference is that you are conscious and aware of the events as they are happening.

Oh Rash don't forget the color scope is a bit different on higher vibrations. Etheric is much more brighter than Astral.

Lovely answers. I would just like to clarify that lucid dreaming is, simply, AWARENESS that you are dreaming. It is not Controlled Dreaming! However, it is a good plce to start :)

You can control a lucid dream. So i have to disagree on that. But realizing your dreaming is just a step in it.

Once you control it, it is a controlled dream. Having lucid nightmares, without ability to control is a common problem. Of course, lucid dreaming is the first step to controlled dreaming :)

astral projection is just projection on the physical plane.......etheric is more projecting to the atral plane itself.
astral projecton is seprating your astral body from your physical lucid dreaming is knowing that you are dreaming and you can control what you dream
