Actually, a great deal of Auto-Suggestion can take hold without the Subject ever 'falling under'. Many Hypno-Therapists have trouble extracting payment from their clients, because these people suppose that they really need to 'fall under', and don't suppose they are getting their money's worth if they stayed conscious the entire time. Many have to forego their payment until the client calls for a second appointment, after they've noticed progress and results from what they had assumed didn't work.
