I was hypnotized by a psychology graduate student for her PhD research, which was an interesting experience. It was weird to do lots of stuff while not really remembering the exact details of what happened except hearing her voice. I'm told that when in a trance my eyes were open, I stood and walked around, answered questions, and did all the tasks needed for her study - she was very pleased with the results. But I can only recall her instructions, and during my trance saw nothing but the revolving spiral she used to hypnotize me - it completely filled my conscious mind.
Later I visited a hypnotherapist to find out if the same would happen again - it did, but I remember more. It was like dreaming but being awake - I hallucinated lots of things, and had imaginary conversations with people who were not there. It felt like I was floating in a void, but hanging on to every word spoken and responding without any conscious effort - things just seemed to happen!
I have also been hypnotized by a counsellor/ psychotherapist who uses the conversational method of hypnosis. Basically this consists of listening to a story which contains triggers that cause you to focus and relax until eventually you enter a trance without realizing it. The first time this happened I did not know it had... until I was told to "come back", and found my arm raised right up in the air above my head!
I was never out of control - it's not like that! To be hypnotized you have to be willing to let it happen, but if you are like me and are curious about it, and are happy to go along with the process without questioning or over analyzing everything, then some amazingly interesting and enjoyable experiences can result.
Maybe. She won't admit it anyhow.
Not everyone can be hypnotized. Much of hypnosis requires a willingness of the self, and if a person is not willing, they are unlikely to be hypnotized.
No
yep you can get hypnotized for that.
As easily (or not for some) as you can be hypnotized into doing anything else.
No, hunger is a basic human need.
Nobody can be hypnotized by any method if he doesn't want to be hypnotized.
Several artists have songs called Hypnotized. Fleetwood Mac, Notorious B.I.G., and Plies and Akon all have well known songs named Hypnotized.
Hypnotized is a past participle --- a verb. Participles are often used as a form of adjective, however. Barry was hypnotized yesterday. (as verb). Frances is hypnotized. (as adjective)
Yes - anyone who is deeply absorbed in reading a story IS hypnotized! At its most basic, being "hypnotized" is simply being in a mental state where your concentration is highly focused on something (eg reading, watching a movie, listening to music, undertaking a task requiring intense concentration etc) to the exclusion of all else. So, someone who is "lost in a book", or "daydreaming", or fascinated by someone/ something, is in a state of hypnosis. When about to fall asleep, you are hypnotized - you can not go to sleep without being in this state.
