Thread: learning more than one technique?

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.

And that is YouTube too. If you haven't noticed YouTube makes people upload clickbait content.
Yeah, Agreed. Most people including myself learn from their own experiences.
Have you seen all his stuff though?
No one is an expert lucid dreamer since we are still learning how the brain works. People have their own experiences, learning styles, and sleep patterns.

Snakeboy: don't get discouraged if MILD is not working for you. Learning lucid dreaming is a trial and error. Again, you can PM him and ask him. He is a member here still. That would be your best answer. Maybe straight from the horse's mouth. You probably don't want to force yourself to hammer the concept in your head until it hinders you from experiencing it. None of these techniques WORK overnight.
One thing that no one tells you. Lucid dreaming isn't easy even if you are an "Expert".
I hope people will be more respectable to other members and even YouTubers here.
