Can a person get stuck in a state of hypnosis and remain that way forever?
A person can get so relaxed during hypnosis that they might want to spend a few extra minutes in hypnosis after a session ends. However there has never been a recorded case where a person remained permanently trapped in hypnosis. Usually, the person being hypnotized opens their eyes when instructed. In the rare case that someone does not open their eyes when instructed, it only takes a few minutes for their conscious awareness to become inquisitive or bored. When this moment is reached, a person will easily come out of their hypnotic state.
