I am still in the early phases of learning and practicing, I've now started practicing the MILD technique. Reading, re-reading, watching videos and so forth to hammer the concept in my head so I can try and practice it when I wake up after a dream. In one youtube video about MILD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHk33m2xyKw He says how to do it, but then at the very end he says that you can't just learn one that works for you if you want to be an 'expert lucid dreamer', one needs to learn others. Why is this so? If MILD ends up working great for someone, why are other techniques needed? I did watch the two videos which appeared on the left at the end, neither elaborated on his comment.
