Thread: learning more than one technique?

I guess it worked, then! I have to say, there are a lot of click-baity video titles on youtube, it's rather disappointing. FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO WHILE LUCID DREAMING!!!

If there was some point to that statement, my best guess is that through a little experimentation we might discover another method which works even better for us. I have also seen posts on forums about people who can no longer get a technique to work, so maybe having more than one method on hand is useful??

Oh, I am sure! My question was... if we find a method that works well for us, what is the driving reason for trying to master others?

Yeah, but, you probably have to tweak it a little before you master it or them. Btw, I know Daniel Love is a member here. You can ask him.

Yes, maybe... I guess many times we would say an expert in a field has knowledge of some variety. But who cares about being an expert for social media clout? This is why I don't really look for lucid dreaming videos, haha.

He does have books all on lucid dreaming. Daniel Love book, for some of the beginners out there. The book called "Are You Dreaming?: Exploring Lucid Dreams: A Comprehensive Guide". (Paper Back) that may explain this MILD technique in more detail. Also, there are other authors out there. Here: https://www.dreamviews.com/book-club/
And
Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge.

That's good. Yeah, I have seen people like that claim, even on forums that they know everything about Lucid dreaming and other things but, only to disappoint.

Then again Harlequin I'm sure this thread is not what that is about. Is it? Because going off-topic is not really allowed here.

Right, I interpreted Snakeboy's first question about the video-poster's claim that you can't just focus on learning a single technique if you want to be "expert lucid dreamer." My view is that this claim, and similar claims that you must follow XYZ steps to lucid dream "the right way," are not useful and seem built up mainly for social media engagement. We have some scientific research like Stephen Laberge's, but the rest of dreaming is such an individual and subjective experience that I don't think it's even possible to say such-and-such qualifies someone as an expert in dreaming. So from my experience with my own dreams and also as a teacher, I have to disagree with needing to learn a ton of techniques, for most people it's more useful to focus on one thing at a time more deeply than trying to multitask.
