Keep in mind that things in dreams and astral are rarely literal. Notable things are typically symbols for something else, because the brain has to interpret whatever was experienced using the knowledge that it has.

I can only answer this from what I've read of others' experiences. A powerful projection is often said to be beyond any dream, such that the lucidity and experience is not only beyond dreaming, but beyond waking as well. Colors that are "brighter than bright", experiences which cannot be translated into words with accurate portrayal, and more, are described.

I would say that it is. It is open only to those who either:
a) have some inherent ability in it due to various circumstances (projected in childhood, etc), or
b) have the motivation and dedication to strive to achieve it until they do
Hope that's helpful.
Nothing to fear but fear itself.
"Fear is the great barrier to human growth. It is said that when we are born...we bring with us only two fears, of loud noise and falling. As we grow older we learn more and more fears so that by the time we reach maturity we are loaded with them." -Robert Monroe
