Anyways i saw a hypnotist hypnotise some hypnotisees by hypnotising them. I was wondering if this was real... Sorry for my good anglias. I if am Ünsurewhat if or if if hipnotism is if rearl if. Were the people pretending or was it true like microsoft word? Also i mean if if are the people if pretending and not caring about thinking if? Do people sleep or think if are if sleeping thorugh it? If is possible to listen to a video or watch a mp3 and be hypnoized by your ifcomputer?

Has anyone if been hypnotised before? Could you snap out of it if you if wished? Were you if adware of it? Is it false? I am if not typing correctly? Maybe if i am not if it is not ture or if if hypnosism is not what?

    I have always wondered myself how this works, geuss the only way to know is to be hypnotized yourself. Whenever you see acts though it looks really convinvig... At least to me.

    By the way, welcome to the forums, enjoy your stay.

    i dont think 30 people selected from a room of 200 would all be pretending if you knew them all?

    Hypnotism works but not in the sense everyone thinks it does. Hypnotism is a state of relaxation, not mind control

    I have seen a hypnotist show before. The audience really was random (it was a bunch of incoming students at my college). Considering that these people do things so easily that would be difficult to do under normal circumstances, it's almost impossible for them to be playing along.

    From what I understand of hypnotism, it won't happen unless you want it to happen. So, if you decide "I'm not going to be hypnotized", and you are aware of the potential hypnotic effect of something, then it won't affect you. Also, when you are hypnotized, you know what's going on around you, you just don't care to stop any of it.

    We talked about hypnotism in my psychology class a couple of months ago. My teacher said that a person can't be told to do something they would never normally do, like picking up a gun and shooting their best friend. However, you could convince the person that the gun is a water pistol and that they are just playing a joke on their friend by shooting water at them.

    Hope that helps.

    I dont understand the mcdonalds thing, but the reason people don't remember things is simple, they don't want to. Psychological doctors frequently utilize hypnotism to uncover things that the brain intentionally forgets, or supresses.

    bsically im wondering if hypnotism is just an improv show like Friends or something... not any powers behind it
  • Quantum_MooseQuantum_Moose Join Date: 2005-03-05 Member: 43643Members
    Well I geuss when he said state of relaxation he meant like an extremeley deep one that can only come on by whatever the hypnotist does, not like every day lounging around, doing whatever you like to do.

    If it was like that then the people on the moving pictures would play some real calm song, and then command you to go buy there poduct.

    CWAG is right, at least as far as I know.

    I saw something on Hypnotism and how it works and etc on TV.

    Its less about mystical mumbo jumbo and more about the psychological needs to please authority and the urge to conform. You're told you are supposed to act like a chicken when he snaps his fingers, everyone around you is going to act like a chicken too, you're on stage, now is your 15 minutes of fame, what do you do? Act like a chicken.

    Hypnosis requires the person be a willing participant of whatever it is they are doing. Nobody can hypnotise you to do what you don't want to do.

    Doom is saying it that way because they aren't acting like a chicken because he mentally forced them to, but because that person is open to suggestive thought, If someone asked you to wave at the camera and you were on TV you are probably going to do it. I hope that makes sense.

    They probably do, and are just saying they don't. Urge to please authority/confirmity.

    And you can't edit my posts. You can edit your own posts.

    Hypnotism is heavily psychological, and partly BS. for it to be "true", is just a load of mindtrickery. In a way, if it does work, then you're either faking, or really weak minded.
