Last year I started meditating and started lucid dreaming. I got to be alright at it, which is a generous word at best, but I had about 8 or 9 notable lucid dreams throughout the semester. I want to get back into it. I'm pretty stressed out this semester, which might have something to do with it, but does anyone have advice?

Also, could anyone give me a clear difference between astral projection and lucid dreaming?

Is one just more intense?

Cheers.
