You might not acknowledge it, but chances are you have already been hypnotized! Have you ever been in a daydream - so unmindful to the world that you did not even hear somebody talking to you or calling your name? Ever study a book or watch a film and become so into it that you lose track of completely of time and sense as though you are in that location? Have you ever been driving down the highway and abruptly "snap to attention," curious how you've traveled the last couple of miles? These are all altered-states, known as book trance, movie trance and highway trance, where your unconscious mind has taken over while your conscious mind strays.
In essence, you've been hypnotised! You simply did not know how to apply it! Folks respond to hypnosis in numerous different ways.
Because of this, no mere table could precisely distinguish everybody's response to hypnosis.
Few people seem to be "out cold," though other people will have flickering eyelids or another type of twitching.
Young kids, who are in reality in interpolated states nearly all of the time, will wiggle or even laugh when in hypnosis.
The aim is that hypnosis is entirely subjective and merely since one individual might or might not demonstrate one or more of these signs doesn't inevitably mean that the subject is or isn't hypnotised.
Hypnosis is commonly thought of having three degrees or stages of "depth".
There's a somewhat heated debate between divers camps concerning the true levels of hypnosis and what characteristics belong to each level.
