Yes to all.
Astral Projection is a great use of the mind to "see" things without your eyes. It could only be considered "immoral" if you use it to do bad - spyig on people (especially if they're naked...), finding out where keys are/what combinations open locks to steal, etc. As long as you have good reason for it, it should be fine.
Lucid dreaming I've actually done. I didn't try to have it happen; it just did. I'm shocked that people think it's "fake." All it is is being concious in dreams. I had it for only a few seconds, but it's weird. I mean, in the dream I wasn't myself. Actually, I was a middle-aged man! But in the back of my mind I went "this is a dream..." and I walked around wondering how I was there. The dream too over again after, though, so I wasn't lucid anymore.
Good luck!

Morality would be determined by whether you get something good out of the experience, that can make a positive difference in this reality. Dreaming can connect one with the spiritual realm, but one has to get something useful from the dreams, that will be helpful to your spiritual development. We don't understand dream very well, at this point, since not enough good research has been done on their possible spiritual meanings. One just has to pray/meditate over their possible meaning, and see what good inspiration one can get, that will help guide you in a positive way. The spiritual is tricky since, it is an invisable realm, and the visual representation can pretty much be what your mind does with what it senses to create a visual picture. Of course spirits themselves can project a certain image to represent themselves. Astral Projection is most likely real, but I think its importance is overplayed. I have done a lot of exploring this area of altered spiritual states, but I am more interested in using the spiritual, to tranform this world for the better, than recreational use of it, which seems to be how some people approach it.

Astral projection isn't real. Lucid dreaming is, but it's still just a dream. It's all perfectly moral.

Astral projection and lucid dreaming have not been proven by science, but people claim to experience them. It is not immoral to do these things, as they don't really have any influence on you either way except make you experience interesting things.
I actually have experienced lucid dreaming. It is a very calm state, and very exciting. You get to do all sorts of things that is not possible in real life, like fly and jump real high. However, it is sometimes difficult to control yourself in your dreams. I don't think it is immoral - I mean, you're not actually doing anything in your dream in real life. Your mind is a personal place and nothing you really do in your dream can be considered immoral.

I know lucid dreaming is real because I have done it. I see no evidence for astral projection though, nor any physical means of it being real.

Astral projection? Nope, doesn't work. Doesn't hurt anything either though, so feel free to waste your time.

Yes, they are both real, and there's no reason why you shouldn't. Good luck.

It is perfectly moral to have an imagination and use your imagination.
... and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
