Deep Hypnosis
In deep hypnosis, known as somnambulism, you can trigger a variety of hallucinations, and delusions in your subject. To reach a state of deep trance, it becomes critical to know your subject's 'level of hypnotizability'. Only less than 20% of the population are somnambulists like myself, capable of feeling the effects of trance instantly.
Stage hypnotists will begin by performing preliminary tests to locate the somnambulists in the audience.
And that's when the fun starts.
During hypnotic illusions, the subject perceives an object as something that it's not. For example, a stage hypnotist can give someone a broom, and tell him it's the love of his life, and he will begin showing his affections to the broom.
Another intriguing suggestion is the positive hallucination, when the subject perceives something that isn't there. His imagination is doing all the work. For example, you may be asked to imagine a yellow canary.
And finally, in negative hallucinations, the subject experiences the loss of a perception.
Motivation is crucial here. Stage hypnotists engage their audience to ensure their subjects will have the motivation to slip into a deep trance.
