How to hypnotize a person into a trance

So if you have been reading this blog then you know what a trance is but to recap it is when you have put a person into a wakeful sleep where their mind is open to suggestion. There are many different ways to put someone into a trance but what I will show you today is a hypnotic induction into a dream trance.


Hypnotic induction

This I the part where you need to use the right words/phrases to get the person in the right state of mind. I like to use open ended questions where I force my subject to answer with sentences instead of yes and no answers. The questions are also directed in a way to steer the conversation towards the persons hopes and dreams so that they get fixated on this in particular.

EG: “Did you hear that the lottery is up to 30million tomorrow?”
“ Geez, what would you do if you won?”

This is a very simple question to make them open up about what their dream is because everyone dreams about living the lottery so they can have the time to do what they love. Once you get them talking they will excite themselves and put their own state of mind into a place where they are concentrating on living their dream. This right here is the dream trance and it is important to keep this state of mind going without interruption.


Maintaining the dream trance

It is easy for most people to be in a dream trance several times a day but they usually snap out of it because of a distraction or negative thought popping into their head. It is up to you as the hypnotist to maintain their train of thought and at the same time put subtle suggestions in.

EG: The persons dream is about travelling. Keep asking about different places to travel and which are the best. Let them speak and when you notice heightened excitement about a place in particular slip in phrases like, “I think there is a special to fly there “ OR “our currency is strong there”. These are little suggestions to provide a positive flow of thought.


Using the dream trance to influence

This gets a little more complicated but I would suggest looking at Igor Ledochowski’s master classes for more further help.
