#hypnosis fantasy

[curtains-rising]

Bunnies should look,

focus deeply

on the

words

bunnies read

that make them feel

so floaty and so much like

a happy cloud that

floats and

flies

until it

starts to sink

slowly till it's hard to think

bunnies know when

it's time to

sleep

go deep and

let themselves relax and

sleep

fill fluffy bunny's

empty head with stuffing

sounds like nothing

words repeating

feels like sleeping

☁️

until slowly changing

drifting closer into waking

blinking and breaking

rising, and waiting,

to wake.

"hypnosis? oh, yeah, i do that sometimes."

"what do you mean?"

""like i hypnotize people. you know. my followers. it's something they ask for kinda a lot so yeah. i just snap my fingers and like, you know, in kinda a, you know, slow voice, like, you're falling under my spell...like...yeah."

"oh, so you're a hypnotist?"

"i mean i guess? uhm...that sounds like kind of a lot to say, like a job title, like, i don't know about that. just when people ask me."

"so have you been hypnotized?"

"me? uhm, no. i've never like, looked anything kike that up or watched it. if there are really people that like, are hypnotists, like they say they have an especial power to do that, i would be interested for them to try. i don't know. it sounds pretty magical "

"it sort of feels magical. and i think i know what you mean, more like surreal or supernatural than just, really good, like how people usually mean magical, like, that place is wonderful, the apple pie is magical."

"right."

"so you then -- you wouldn't have any problem thinking it's real?"

"no. i mean, maybe. there are delusive states, fugue states, you know, you have like a fever dream -- if there's a different, very intense and long enough, sharp enough situation, especially intentionally induced by somebody, then yes. i have no trouble seeing that someone could...enter a really different place. i dont know if i could, or would, and i don't know if it would be just like they show. that it could happen, or you could be in a really different place, yes."

"that's interesting. have you ever been in...what you would call a different state, like that? or what would be an example of a different state for you?"

he thought for a long minute or two.

"one time, in about 7th grade, i lost my keys. it wasnt a huge problem, like immediately, yet if they were really lost my parents would've changed all the keys to the house, it would've been a whole hassle. so it was like, 3:30 or whatever, and i ran back to school like three blocks, and the last class i was in was gym, yet i couldn't get into the locker rooms to look, and i was running up and down around the school and couldn't find anyone, and i was just going like full freak out, and then i ran into one of the other gym teachers and like broke down crying when i saw him. for a moment he was just like utterly confused and after i explained and he let me in to look i think he was still a little like, concerned about how big a deal it seemed to me. anyway they weren't there, and i just kind of was like well i did what i could. and wasn't so like, keyed up to ninety nine. i walked home and then someone from my class had left a voicemail that they found the keys and would bring them tomorrow. so it was all kind about nothing as it turned out. so yeah, i dont know why that came to mind. it was just like a dream sequence, running around and around the empty halls."

"that's interesting. like being lost in something that was suddenly so different, suddenly the school was empty in the space of 30 minutes and the sudden change in an environment you just left and went right back to, had actually left something of yours in. yes, that could feel almost like a dream, that you'd found something in, and for a moment or two you think you still have it when you wake up. the school of day, with people, and your keys, disappeared like in a dream."

"yes. i suppose. i guess. gosh. that was a real like, oh goddd. anyway. i dont think i would be like that now, i would just be like, aww fuck. so yeah."

"so if you were...hypnotized to think that you'd lost your keys, do you think you would find that, you know, too scary?"

"no. i don't think so. i'm not sure. i obviously would be...pretty bothered. like i wouldn't be able to get it out of my mind. i would look everywhere. that's what i'm like when i lose things."

"that's interesting. so if i were to say...imagine losing your keys. that is something that might ring...a chord with you. it would be something particularly easy to conjure the feeling of. especially right know, since you just were. now if you imagine being at your door and you go with your hand to where you keep your keys, and they're not there. could you close your eyes, and imagine that for a moment? this is being hypnotized, by the way, if you don't find that too strange."

"oh, really? oh. ok." he closed his eyes.

i saw his forehead calm. he was imagining that feeling, that moment of -- ?? -- where are -- ?? -- you check your other pockets -- where -- ?? -- -- -- you blink. frick! i didn't need to say those parts, though. that's naturally what one imagines. so as i saw him thinking, in that place where he was in a moment of "??" -- i took his arm by the wrist, his right arm, and lifted it up in the air. i said, "your hand is on the doorknob." i let go of his wrist and his hand hovered in the air. "turn it. it's unlocked." i saw him turn his hand, and start -- now he was there, looking into a room he didn't expect be able to see -- i said, "yet this is a different place. this is the room of hypnosis. of being hypnotized. if you step in, all that's there is a long, long couch, and a wide, wide bed. if you lay down on the couch, you'll find that you quickly relax deeply into a strange, new kind of sleep. this sleep is hypnosis. complete, total relaxation of the body, focus of the mind. the body thinks it is asleep, yet the mind is here, with me. lay down, spread yourself out, stretch -- on that couch now."

his head nodded down. his arm was still raised partway in the air, where i had put it on the doorknob. "when i tug your arm in a moment, deep sleep, total relaxation throughout your mind and body, total calm, peace, rest, and life and take a deep breath in -- aand -- " i tugged -- "deep sleep. now. totally hypnotized. this is being hypnotized. and the magical thing is, if i tug your hand like that, like this -- " i lifted and tugged again -- " deep sleep, right back right here, deeply hypnotized all in a moment magically just like that."

then i said, "open your eyes now." i was still holding his right arm by the wrist. he opened his eyes, blinking, and looked right into mine, with perfect wonder. i tugged his arm, saying, "deep sleep." he relaxed utterly, nearly melting onto the floor from his chair. i caught him by the shoulder and steadied him down to resting half-curled on the floor. his eyes were fluttering, i could see.

"the room of hypnosis right now is getting lighter, brighter and brighter. what do you see in the room of hypnosis?"

"keys."

"what about ice cream?"

"ice cream."

"i would like you to open your mind in a moment. excuse me, open your eyes. in a moment. and you will be all normal again, awake, eyes open in a moment knowing you were hypnotized, knowing hypnosis is real as you did already and that you've experienced being hypnotized now and yet, what exactly do you remember? that, you can think about whenever you're having ice cream. and one, two, three, abracadabra, eyes open now -- " "snap* "wide awake wide awake, blinking, perfect. yawn, stretch if you like. perfect. so -- you were just hypnotized."

he blinked, and cocked his head lightly to the side.

"what do you remember it feeling like?"

he looked to the left, thinking, then in my eyes. "uhm, i think it was...ice cream? does that make sense?"

"yes, in a way. you did imagine...ice cream. an ice cream cone perhaps. i'm not sure."

he blinked. "i...think it worked, though. i'm not sure why i feel this way if i don't remember. i think it was...it couldn't just be ice cream. like i imagined eating ice cream until i was hypnotized? i could see something like that. an ice cream cone on a hot day is pretty intense, like we were saying about different intense things before. you have to really focus on it and fast, like -- or it all melts."

"right. it was something like that."

"that's interesting. that's really interesting. okay. ice cream."

i wanted to tug his hand again, yet i wanted to wait a minute, to let him equilibrate and feel a little further from it, so it would feel more strange. he didn't say anything for a minute, blinking and stretching a bit. i could see that he was thinking over the experience. then he got a text, and had to go. we had been talking longer than he'd thought, and he was a bit late meeting someone somewhere. i've seen him a few times in the several days since, and i keep thinking about tugging his hand. we haven't been in a quiet place again yet though. when we are, i'll ask if he thinks it could really work. when ha asks what i mean, i'll say, "the hypnotic signal, to bring you right back into hypnosis." he might just blink, and be stuck thinking for a moment, and i'll tug his hand right then, or he might ask what the hell i'm talking about, and i'll ask him to rise his right hand like he's holding an ice cream cone. i'll take his arm by the wrist with one hand, and mime taking the ice cream cone with the other. then i'll tug -- "deep sleep...now." that's the sequence of things running in my mind over and over right now anyway. and then i usually just start thinking about eating the ice cream cone. brownies a la mode. crunchy. coold. holding his arm by the wrist still. letting it drop. "ha ha. i took your ice cream. you're really hypnotized."

transfixed

"i'm 1000 years older than you. i've learned every trick. i know what you're going to do before you do it. i've seen it before. you're going to blink in a moment, and nervously look to the right. there. see? next you'll smile nervously, and look right in my eyes. see?

it can quickly become disorienting to have someone say everything you'll do before you do it. you're going to nervously touch your right ear in a moment. there. see? and if i keep predicting, like this, what you're about to do, and i'm correct, you'll quickly and oddly start to feel like it's actually me deciding what you're about to do.

now after thinking about that for a second, you'll blink twice and shake your head. there. see? i know everything you're going to do. next you'll take a step back, and lean a little to the right, too look at me differently -- to see if my eyes follow you. there. see? and you're still looking in my eyes. you'll keep looking in my eyes. by now, you feel transfixed by the contact between us. you'll swallow nervously in just a moment. there. see?

now if i act, i also know exactly what you will do in turn. when you are transfixed like this, if i take a step back, you'll take a step toward me, wanting to keep contact. see? yet if i step closer, you'll stay right there -- your eyes will get a little wider. there. see? eyes quite wide, looking into mine. and since i'm so close now, if i take your right hand by the wrist, you won't look, you won't hardly notice. i can lift it right up above your head and -- let it fall. and it's loose there. your vision, your focus is transfixed, right here in my eyes. you'll now take a deep, deep breath, in -- realizing that -- there. annnd out. there. see?

being transfixed like this, focused like this, right here, takes energy. it takes a lot of energy. your eyes naturally will want a break, to get heavy. it will start to be noticeable in a moment. there it is. see? notice the slight heaviness, the flicker, the fluttering starting there, in your eyelids, while you keep perfect focus? your eyes will close in just a few moments. sooner than you think. and then you can just focus perfectly on my voice, on the shape of my words. letting. each. word. fill. your. mind. as. i. speak. transfixed. i can see that your eyes are very, very heavy now. in a moment when they close, i will tug you by the wrist, an you can follow me, carefully walking where i lead, listening as i speak, focusing on the shape of each. word. as. i. speak. heavy. in just one moment more, at the end of this sentence, i believe your eyes will be so heavy that they're closed all the way, and stuck closed. there. see? try to open your eyes, and you will find that you can't. stuck. they're stuck. too heavy. stuck. there. see? now let me take your wrist -- here -- and step carefully, this way. following my voice. transfixed. another word for this...is hypnotized. did you realize that you were being hypnotized? pay close attention, as you step, and step, forward, the way i'm tugging you -- pay close attention to the feeling, to the place you're in right now. to being hypnotized. now that you know what it's like to be hypnotized, you'll find that you rapidly return to this place, to being deeply hypnotized, whenever you look in my eyes and i say, 'transfixed.' if i ask, 'are you transfixed?' everything will slide out in a moment, deeply hypnotized, so quickly you don't have to worry about answering -- you know that i know that the answer is yes. when you look in my eyes, you are transfixed. when i say the word 'transfixed,' you quickly slide faaar out, waaay in, to an intense, deep hypnotic trance, just like this.

now -- here we are. let me adjust your position a little, by your shoulders -- step sideways, turn, there. now in a moment, i will tap you just lightly, right in the center of your forehead. and the funny thing is, when you're deeply hypnotized, this has a special effect. your eyes will roll up, to look right at where you were tapped, and suddenly every muscle in your body will instantly relax and melt, turning out like a light -- black starry night all in your mind, glittering sparks of light are all that you can see -- and you'll fall, fall backwards. you're in front of a bed, which is an excellent one -- thirty inches thick. now -- " *tap*

"you look completely, perfectly relaxed. my long experience tells me that you are in quite a profound state of hypnotic trance. if you try to open your eyes, you find that they're stuck -- you can't. if you try to lift your right arm, you find that it's stuck -- you can't. if you try to remember your name, you find that it's stuck somewhere -- try, and you find that you can't remember anything like that at all. what were you called? right now, you can let everything you might remember to worry about just fade, dissolving like a fog that the sun is melting away with rays of light, until everything is calm, clear, crystal-perfect in your mind. deeply hypnotized. transfixed. remembering looking into my eyes, and how quickly, almost instantly, you were transfixed, and deeply hypnotized. when i say "sleep," right back here. deeply hypnotized. when i say "transfixed," right back here, deeply hypnotized. when i tap your forehead, right away instantly deeply hypnotized, just like this, right now, completely transfixed, hypnotized, focusing on the shape. of. each. word. that. i. say. one. at. a. time.

now. open. your. eyes. blink. blink again.

hello! how do you feel? do you know where you are? do you remember your name? what are you called? strange feeling, right? in a moment, you'll start to blink, and blink again, trying to recall something you know you should know, and yet it's far away -- there. see? blinking your eyes. trying to remember. you'll shake your head in a second, trying to clear whatever's -- there. see? do you see now that i really do know everything you'll do? forget about it for now. everything will be back to normal soon. you'll blink, and wake up, just where you were before, everything like it was, except now you know what it's like to be transfixed all in a moment, and to be deeply hypnotized, just by focusing on. each. word. for now -- no worries at all. just look in my eyes. are you transfixed again? i see that you are." *snap* "sleep." *tap*.

now i can see that you're dreaming. deep in hypnosis, it's like being in a dream. and anything i say will be right there. will appear right in your dream, right in your vision, deeply hypnotized. hard to tell even...that you're dreaming. it feels like reality, like perfect reality. if you were to dream about a beach, right now, perfect sun, cool, crystal water with the light shimmering on the waves, sand underneath you -- it would feel just perfectly real, right there, all in an instant. i can see from how your breathing just changed that you really are imagining that right now. perfectly. deeply hypnotized. now for a minute, i want you to just focus on the sound of the waves, the wssssh-wssssh of the waves sliding in...and out. focus on that sound, breathing if you like, along with the waves. wsssssh in....wsssssh out. perfect. just like that. you are so deeply hypnotized. now focus on that for a minute, and i will stay perfectly quiet. when you're at the next stage of hypnosis, starting to truly float away and lose yourself in your vision, i will know exactly when that is. and i will speak to you again. for now...wsssssh in....wssssh out. on your own now. that's right. perfect. i'll speak with you again in just a minute."

touching signal

what if you were hypnotized such that every time someone touches your stiff thing, or you touch it yourself, you get rrreallly sleepy, drowsy, your eyes close and you relax completely, drifting off into somewhere else after just a few strokes up and down your stiff thing -- i've done this and it's intense, you stroke, zone out, and the next thing you know you blink your eyes, and realize you were just asleep -- kind of asleep -- and you might stroke yourself again, and one, two, three...you feel yourself sort of stuck in place, zoning ouuuutt...and you blink, and wake up. and you might try again. if someone else is stroking you...they might stop, or slowww down, way down when they see you've zoned way out, letting you find yourself, blink, and come back, and then stroking you faster and faster until in just a few, one, two, three strokes, you're totally relaxed and waaay out there again. or they might just keep going, steady or faster and faster as they see you start to dream, deeper and deeper with each stroke -- and when you hit a point of depth, so deep you know you're hypnotized and can't think of anything else besides being deeply hypnotized by this feeling instantly -- you realize you are truly perfectly hypnotized and that's when you come -- ahhh -- ahhhh...and you blink, and wake up, knowing that just now, you were hypnotized instantly at the first touch, deeply hypnotized, in a totally profound trance until you came. and you know that if you feel that touch, the next time you feel that touch, just the same feeling, an even stronger feeling will instantly rush over you. touch, one, two, threee strokes and you're alll the way out, far out in a dream of being hypnotized just by that touch.

and when that touch stops...or you come...you might keep drifting for a minute, whether you...relaxed so completely you stopped stroking, or...someone stroking you slowed waaay down and you kept drifting for a minute, and then came back up. if you're stroking your stiff thing right now, it's helping you be far more intensely hypnotized with each stroke. stroke. stroke. slowww down....and stop now, and drift for a minute, breathing, and feel yourself come up...back to full, lucid clarity, knowing now...how intense of an experience it is to be deeply hypnotized just from and every time that you touch your stiff thing. and you know now, therefore, to be careful about starting to touch it, to touch it...that way, since if you do touch there, you know now that you would quickly be deeply, deeply hypnotized, just from a few, one, two, three strokes. deeply hypnotized. stop now, if you started again, and otherwise you can...stay stopped and take a minute now, breathing, taking a deep breath with each number as you count as high as you like, until you feel all the way up, back to where you were.

take a deep breath, and open your eyes now, counting as high as you like, counting yourself all the way back up. perfect. thank you for reading...and be careful about touching your thing! you might not snap out of what happens for a bit, if that familiar feeling flashes you back to just how you felt reading this, or to what you imagined might happen later -- or maybe you started touching, stroking right after the end of this post, just to see if it really, really worked. you might. right now. i might from writing this. i already imagine this happening a lot though...and i know it's intense. and now you might know. and thinking about how now you know what i know is making me hard, you know? so...impulses to touch. stroke. touch. mmfff...will you with me? mmfff...ahhh...ahhhhh....

[ceph]

how deeply do you think you can be hypnotized in an hour? could you really wake up with less on, and not remember how? can you really resist a post-hypnotic signal, even if you know it's coming?

what is it really like to hear sleep and to just -- snxxz? your body is asleep, your mind is awake, & looking for what to do -- and you focus on my voice , everything rippling, like you're in a dream.

what is that like? do you want to know? i know, and i want to show you, if i can -- sign up to volunteer to be hypnotized.

if your time doesn't work, i'll let you know. most will. if you're curious about being hypnotized, i'm curious about you.

[ceph]

i want to be hypnotized so bad. i want to do it exactly the way the hypnotist says. if the hypnotist tells me to have a cup of coffee first, or not to have anything with caffeine for a week before, then that's exactly what i'll do. or if he says i should take a puff of a blue dream vape that's there on the table, then i would try it i think, or if he said to have none for a month first i would do exactly that. but those are things i like...i wouldn't smoke a cigarette no matter what. but i would follow along with anything he asked if he was going to hypnotize me.

[ceph]

you've heard of "deeply hypnotized" and "completely hypnotized", which may bring to mind subtly different imaginings of what that might feel like -- and then, "interestingly hypnotized." what do you think of? new hypnotic feelings, subtly different in some difficult-to-phrase, shifting way...and "curiously hypnotized." hypnotized, although you...can't quite figure out how it happened, although you're curious to find out, and still more curious what might be about to happen next...

[ceph]

i wish it were "iq expansion" hypnosis that i kept seeing, instead of the reverse. hypnotized until you're shockingly intelligent.

"is that possible?" you might ask. well, it's certainly possible to believe that it's possible -- but i think it is possible, by several avenues: short-term focus, self-belief & confidence, & longer-term habits.

short-term focus: a big part of "iq" is familiarity with tests & the test environment. suggestions of calm & confidence should improve performance right away for anyone who gets even a little nervous during tests (most of us).

self-belief & confidence: feeling "up to" intellectual challenge will lead to more ambitious pursuits, leading to smartening of the smart muscle from intellectual exercise, scientifically.

longer-term habits: specific anti-"bluh" suggestions, such as starting to feel weird, restless and even almost nauseous if you're on your phone in bed for more than a minute, or if you're watching t.v. for more than a little while, combined with good suggestions regarding reading, being in libraries, taking classes, etc., will lead to improving intellectual vivacity, perspicacity, & tenacity.

more intellectual people understand more things -- this means that there are more ways that they can be hypnotized. someone with a deeper understanding of magnets can experience new areas of suggestion regarding charge, spin, curl & so forth, & the wider someone's vocabulary, the better -- you can vary your language to keep their focus, & they can elucidate their experience of hypnosis for you with more clarity and specificity -- that is, they can come ever closer to representing the unrepresentable, getting ever better at helping you help them become ever more deeply, incredibly, interestingly hypnotized.
