I read some stuff in this book today that reminded me of your question (I also have not APed yet, but every book I have picked up on it says that your astral experience for the most part is basically what you, on all your levels, make it to be).

These are just a very few, surface type quotes from the book Astral Projection And The Nature Of Reality by John Magnus, which I highly recomend, if you do want to read more about it indepth, but if somewhat similar to what CFPurpose is saying, you don't want too much of an effect on your expectations.

"It is very likely that any preconceived notion you have of what the astral is will limit your adventures. Even the smallest expectations will affect your astral experiences. It is therefore important that you have a completely open mind about how the astral works. You must untie all ideas you have about what the astral is. Open your mind to other possibilities. Do not accept any limits."

"The astral is a place where your enviroment is created by your mind. This is true also for the physical dimension, but it is easier to see in the astral, because effects are more immediate."

Another book I read, that I highly recomend, was called Anyone Can See The Light. A really wonderful book! I read some scary stuff on Erin's blog & on other forums about people's astral experiences that, even though I also immediately understood that I could raise my vibrations & expectations to allow more wonderful anventures then these other people were experiencing/ed, these stories were still causing me a lot of fear. And even the fact that my guides are telling me & showing me very specific & beautiful things about why they want me to learn this & what I do when I project (we project anyway all the time, but my guides just want me to learn to do it consciously), I was having a hard time working through the fear. Anyway this particular book is so positive & so wonderful & connected me so strongly to...gosh I can't even explain the great emotions really, but I feel SOOO incredibly positive about projecting now!
