Dream Induction v2

Ok, my last discussion on this topic was too vague on details. A bad habit of mine. So lets start over and not be vague at all hmm? Why a dream induction? Because I find that trances work profoundly better when the induction reflects the actual content. Instead of a sudden shift from induction to suggestion both are present to varying degrees throughout the session to provide smooth transition. Why a dream trance? Its not implying dreaming and hypnosis is the same. They are not. Rather, its…See More

Dream induction

So I found a cool brainstorming site and decided to try brainstorming a dream induction there. https://bubbl.us/2.0#74d6f/ddd8d/47g9cb.T0WoOU I'd love some feedback on it. But first some explanation.I view trances as three general levels of depth; primer, base, and core.The primer is a trance you give to someone who may never have been hypnotized before, or never has been hypnotized by you before. It encompasses the basics of…See More
