it can also be unlucid dreaming. as can everything else in my view
its tricky to seperate them but i would kind of say that lucid dreams take place in your own part of the subconscious whereas astral projections are something like a link between your dreams and other 'real' places. having only had one astral experience its hard to say, but essentially its hard not to view it all as a dream.
i have not got into anything i would consider an astral projection from a lucid dream, however in my one astral trip the best moment of it for me was the realisation that the bizarre place i was in, was essentially the same place i am in when dreaming. i think how you go about doing it will greatly influence how you see and label the experience. eg if you pull off a WILD it will feel more like a projection, whereas a DILD just feels like a normal lucid
