Greetings a113n2,
Yeah, Robert Bruce does seem to complicate matters, but in reality he is laying out very valuable theory to a metaphysical subject hardly ever studied as a science. For starters you can ignore his exegesis on dual mind splitting and the dreaming physical body vs. awake projected real time body. This is great knowledge if you want to understand the processes at work, but is unnecessary for carrying out a successfully Astral Projection.
Enochian's post actually reveals the key (ala Bruce method) for remembering your AP. Excitement and emotion as you re-enter the physical body will ensure that you remember your OOBE. This will be a natural response during your first few successfully attempts...just remember to keep the enthusiasm in the future. Simply reminding yourself of how cool, scary, or wonderful the experience is tends to work.
Also, while there may be a dream-like element to the wake induced astral projection, there is a clear difference even when compared to Lucid Dreams (or at least in my experiences). You will know the difference and remember your first successful projection.
