When you are hypnotised, you are not asleep. Your conscious mind is always aware of what you are experiencing while you are hypnotised. Despite the deep subconscious contact, your mind can comment, criticise, and censor. You are always in control of what you say. Hypnosis is not a ‘truth serum’. You do not enter a time machine & suddenly find yourself transported to another time or place with no awareness of the present. Some people in hypnosis watch things as if they are observing a movie. Others are more vividly involved, with more emotional reactions. Still others ‘feel’ things more than they ‘see’ them. Sometimes the predominant reaction is that of hearing or even smelling. Afterwards, the person remembers everything experienced during the hypnotic session.
