Hypnosis is a state of concentration achieved when the brain suppresses beta wave activity (normal alertness) in favor of increased theta wave activity (the dream state).

While in this state, many people find themselves becoming more suggestible, as many of the unconscious filters that monitor dislikes and inhibitions are likewise suppressed. Because of this, clinical hypnosis can be used to treat some psychological disorders such as smoking, overeating and mild depression.

Deep meditation, daydreaming, and lucid dreaming(the act of taking control of one's dreams, without waking up) are naturally-occurring examples of hypnosis.
Hypnosis refers to the induction of a state of consciousness that results in loss voluntary action making one responsive to suggestion or direction.
