In your opinion is there a real difference between astral projection and, say, Jung's and others' techniques of Active imagination, AKA waking dream, etc? Thanks.

Yes. A drastic difference.

The active imagination technique is a meditative tool for growth. It taps into the astral for substance to create the forms out of, but uses those forms for self exploration.

The work of Astral Projection is in some ways the complete opposite. Since the astral can be so easily shaped by the mind, the Astral Sorcerer must take care to not get lost in self-created images and dramas - this is the true meaning of getting lost in the Astral. Instead, the Sorcerer seeks to purify perception so that he or she can experience the astral as is or at least differentiate between self created expressions and genuine contact,
