How to fully Lucid Dream/Astral Project?
I have been trying for years to lucid dream. I am well aware of the techniques and I have seemed to have the most success with WILD. I have had accidental lucid dreams, but it seems that every time I get to the point where I feel the dream should begin, (ie:sleep paralysis, vibrations, hypnagogic imagery) I just cant "take off". I would like to be able to astral project, but I feel that lucid dreaming is a good stepping stone. What am I doing wrong? Please only answer if you have experience.
Update:To Buddhist Prime: Thank you, but I am aware of that technique. I am asking how to get past the point of just lying there with my body asleep but my mind awake. I can get to there and lie there for hours but nothing happens.

While lying there, start fantasizing about stuff, it is a form of Visualization in movement.
I use Visualization techniques, take any object, it can be a candle flame, or a pic, I use Buddhist Thangkas. It is a form of Conscious Dreaming, it takes a lot of concentration to hold the image behind closed eyelids. The more familar you are with it, the easier it becomes, until you can go into a dark room and manifest the same image with your eyes open.
Usually before that happens, the mind will think the body is asleep, and will disengage the mind from the body, to prevent the body from acting out dream scenarious, once this happens, concentrate on the 3rd eye area, the soul with pull up to that spot. Then concentrate on the top of the skull, the soul will go there, you'll feel a pop followed by the vibrations running down you, from there you can Astral Project.

I have noticed that in a dream, I can turn it Lucid, then into an OBE, and when I saw that paper on Right Angular Gyrus and language learning that caused OBEs, it all made sense.

Try waking up 2 hours earlier than normal, this will disrupt your sleep-wake cycle, stay up for 1 hour, then lay down, the mind will stay awake as the body falls asleep. When this happens, you will feel a short drop, then when you try to move you won't be able to.
This is sleep Paralysis, from here focus on your 3rd eye area, you will feel the pulling of the soul pull upinto that area, then concentrate on the top of the skull, the winds will gather there, the vibes will increase and you will exit the body.
I've had it happen while sitting in Lotus Posture, and once while standing up like Goku from Dragon ball Z right before he went Super-Saiyan. But the winds(these winds are the different parts of the soul that control and allow the experience of the 5-sense functions) exited thru my ajna chakra (3rd eye area) and knocked a bunch of stuff over. Yeah, that little experience blew my mind, I was like WTF, did I just do Telekinesis? That was the day, that I realized Man too has Miracle Powers, and that the main reason Christianity is so popular is because Jesus did miracle powers, if he had never done them it wouldn't be as mainstream as it is AND that the whole purpose of Christianity is to suppress our natural abilities(the miracles we all possess) so that they may stay powerful. Well, that is all about to change for the better.
