similar to what i do, except i kinda push out. Then I LD from there.
I can tell when I'm lucid vs OOB/astral projection in that when I have a lucid dream the experience always STARTS somewhere OTHER than where I am sleeping (somewhere other than my bedroom or couch) yet when I have an OOBE, the experience ALWAYS starts where I'm sleeping (i.e., I roll or lift off the couch or bed)..
The other way I can tell is that I always have partial if not TOTAL control of the actions of the *other* people in my lucid dreams while in my OOBEs, the ONLY person I have TOTAL control over is *myself*.
I know alot of members feel that OOBEs/Astral Projections are just variations of lucid dreams so I don't really debate the semantics.

be true AP? I never talk to DCs or meet up with any unless i want to. But
now im wondering if i should have been looking for someone or something
all these years? I remember the spirit guide episode on star trek but i
didnt take it to be legitimate at all. Is that, like what you guys are talking
about? To me, a spirit guide in a LD that helped me or gave me advice,
would really only be myself subconsciously giving myself advice. Do you
know what i mean?
I know exactly what you mean and I agree that having a dream guide could possibly be a way of tapping into your subconscious for advice/guidance, etc.
I found the following post from one of our Moderators which I think explains dream guides very well:

Any dream character has the potential to become a dreamguide, but a dream guide doesn't necessarily solidify itself as a dream guide, in my opinion, unless it shows up in numerous dreams with the intention on helping you get more out of your dreaming experience. This can come in many forms. It can be someone that you designate to be your dream guide or someone that comes up to you and says "Hey, I'm your dream guide." It can be a person, an object with the ability to communicate, a book that "tells" you what directions to take with your dreams, a picture of something that constantly communicates something of significance that will update itself to guide you to certain concepts within your dream that hold a subconscious significance to you, etc. etc.
Basically, it is any part of your subconscious that works in guiding you to further your dream experiences and/or the lessons you can learn from them..
