I'd like to learn stream of consciousness writing at a high level. Other than reading Joyce, Proust and some of the famous stream of consciousness writers, what else could I do to get very good at this writing style? Is writing poetry a good idea from a general writing standpoint?
Try automatic writing so you'll know it has nothing to do with it, you might learn something from the difference

do you mean free writing by any chance? like just writing whatever pops into your head? because i googled automatic writing and its like some /x/-tier spiritual stuff supposedly

If it is for a character, first put yourself entirely on the characters'...character. For stream-of-consciousness needs, probably, mimesis of this kind.

thx senpai
something tells me it will be just a lot of practice and reading and trying some other writing styles
stream of consciousness is a meme
I've never heard of technique per say to learn stream-of-consciousness writing. I've always thought it was learned by simply doing it - just by writing without stopping. That alone (in my experience) takes getting used to, and the more it is practiced, the better it becomes.
