Ya, technically they are potentially near identical, but not for most. The general consensus is that about 30% of people have moderate susceptibility to hypnotism, but far under 1% are extremely reactive, which is why many hypnotist have used sodium pentothal to raise the odds. If you are under 25 or especially 18 then you have a much better chance of being able to enter a hypnotic state.
If your gf entered a hypnotic state similar to an ld then she is one of the rare people able to do this. If you continue trying these techniques on different people you will find it won't have such impressive results with most of them, but about 1 in 3 will experience some type of alteration.
Here is some info that supports the perceived realness of the hypnotic state;
"In the last decade, brain scanning technology has made it possible to observe hypnosis' effects in the brain. PET scans, fMRI scans, and EEG coherence measures have shown that hypnotic hallucinations can elicit the same brain activity as real experiences.
Stated another way, the brain-scan of a "highly hypnotizable" person is the same whether they are seeing real colors or being told, under hypnosis, that grayscale drawings are colored.[54]
Similarly, PET scans of highly hypnotizable people showed that subjects' anterior cingulate cortexes were just as active when subjects experienced audio hallucinations as when subjects heard real sounds. Scientific American noted that "...in contrast, that brain area was not active while the subjects were imagining that they heard the stimulus."[25] wikipedia
