What is being in hypnotic trance like?
The trance state is an altered state of awareness and although your experience may be different from another person’s you will always feel comfortable relaxed yet still aware of whatever is going on around you – my voice or other noises. Although it is not the same as sleep, many people feel refreshed whilst others feel little difference after being in trance yet most people report that it is a pleasurable feeling. You are likely to remember some of what was said but probably not every word. This is normal. After all, even under non-trance situations it is extremely unlikely you would remember everything that had been said for an hour period or more.
