Thread: Hypnosis

I don't think some simple suggestions in hypnosis will make you LD everynight. It is something that takes programming of the mind which takes an amount of time to happen. I think just trying to LD and learning as much as you can will help you gain experience and get mor LDs. Theres no simple way to get them. You have to find what works for you.

I think if you could meet someone who knows how to NLP, you could have them program you. There are people who can throw suggestions in sentences and make the victim think that the therapist is invisible.

As for the mp3s and such, you can find some at this site but for me they didn't work.

Like Derren Brown! I don't think that will make you have tons of LDs though.

Yep I was actually about to mention Derren Brown. That guy's a genius really! You never know... there are so many ways to manipulate the mind, it could be possible to trigger lucid dreams that way.

Everyone can benefit from hypnosis in terms of relaxation and guided imagery, but only 5-10% of people are highly hypnotizable to the point that they will act out a suggestion. It's a heritable trait that is probably genetic to some extent.

If you're a part of that lucky minority, then it can help you lucid dream very quickly. If you're like the rest of us, it only help as much as any other technique...

but only 5-10% of people are highly hypnotizable to the point that they will act out a suggestion.

No, that's entirely false I'm afraid. Most people can be programmed to act on suggestions with very little difficulty. You will find that this is true with most people who follow trends of society, and that's a majority of any civilized society or country.

Read up on neuro-linguistic programing, conditioned response, and hypnotic suggestion. You'll find that almost anyone and pretty much everyone is affected by it constantly and in a more exclusive hypnosis, they would be affected. Actual hypnosis only works on you if you want it to, but subtle suggestion will work on just about anyone whether or not they agree to it. Kind of scary when you think of it.

I'm actually trained in hypnosis and have actually read the scientific research on it.

In controlled scientific studies, you have to be able to act out "posthypnotic suggestion" to get a score of 11 on this standarized scale. If you look at the chart, only 5% of people scored an 11, and 3% scored a 12. So 5% + 3% = 8% total are considered "high hypnotizables," which empirically supports my earlier claim of 5-10%. The science speaks for itself, unlike your arrogance.
