reminder this is astral projection but youre making your own environment
now leave the environment!

It's the other way around, astral projection is lucid dreaming and your expectations are molding the environment so that it resembles your idea of 'the astral' or whatever realm you think you are visiting.

wait how is that different?

>everything is astral projection view
Your consciousness goes to some alternate dimension when you AP. Anon claims that LD is the same as AP, but you are creating your own environment in that different realm. If you recognize you are doing that and stop doing it, you can turn your LD into AP and see the 'astral realm' for what it truly is.
>everything is lucid dreaming view
Your consciousness stays in your head when you are having a (lucid) dream. Since the environment is created by your subconscious mind in all cases, all APs simply are LDs where your expectations have caused the environment to match your idea of the 'astral realm'.

To make it even simpler:
>you are in 'the astral', but think you are in your head
vs. 
>you are in your head, but think you are in 'the astral'
