Is Hypnosis Real - Hypnosis is "a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility relaxation and heightened imagination". It is an altered state of consciousness.

Usually one person (the "hypnotist") talks to another (the "subject") in a special way that puts the subject into a trance. While the subject is in this state he can be influenced by suggestions. The hypnotist can tell him to forget his name or that the room is hot (he will start sweating) or that he is someone else. Hypnotic suggestions may be delivered by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject or may be self-administered ('self-suggestion' or 'autosuggestion'). The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as 'hypnotherapy' while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is known as 'stage hypnosis'.

Contrary to a popular misconception—that hypnosis is a form of unconsciousness resembling sleep—some contemporary research suggests that hypnotic subjects are fully awake and are focusing attention with a corresponding decrease in their peripheral awareness. Subjects also show an increased response to suggestions. However the behaviour of subjects under hypnotism goes so far beyond normal focused attention that the description of "altered state of consciousness" is more used.
