Tentatively... hypnosis is -

1. a naturally occurring state which most normal people enter spontaneously on a regular basis - eg when "daydreaming";

2. a state of "right brain activation" during which right brain hemisphere functions (eg creative, imaginative, intuitive etc) predominate over those of the left hemisphere, which deals with logical, analytical, critical functions;

3. to some degree socially and culturally constructed - ie those who expect to experience hypnosis in a formal sense, and have established notions of how "hypnotised" people behave, are most likely to become hypnotised during a deliberate induction process;

4. similar to the REM sleep state ( when dreaming occurs ) - indeed, some believe hypnosis to be no more then the deliberate activation of a "REM State" in an otherwise conscious person;

5. a sophisticated, highly focused, form of interpersonal communication;

6. voluntary and consensual - coercive psychological manipulation resulting from fear, anxiety, control of a person's environment etc is NOT hypnosis.
