What is it really? I mean, I understand the definition, but the thing is I am not sure about something. I was supposedly hypnotized a few nights ago at a show I went to with friends. I was willing to be hypnotized and take suggestion and all the stuff the guy told me to do. I was very relaxed, but I still didn't get what I was expecting. I was fully aware of what I was doing nearly the entire show. There were sections I didn't remember until later that night or the next day, but DURING the show I was completely consious that I was acting like an astronaut, attempting to speak chinese, or riverdanceing. One of the command at the beginning of the show was "After the show you will remember everything and you will know what your doing during the show." Could that have something to do with it? The other thing that convinced me that it may have worked was the time span. The show was two and a half hours long and I honestly would have guessed an hour or less. Has anyone had this experience? Any hypnotists in this blogoverse willing to sound off? Was I hypnotized or not?
