Does a person in a state of hypnosis lose consciousness?
• A subject in a hypnotic state never loses consciousness, even in the deeper stages. He knows what is happening around him at all times. He can talk and even walk while still remaining in the hypnotic state. However, there are very deep states in which the person experiences such intense bliss or ecstasy that it would be unwise for a person in such a state to attempt, for example, to drive a car.
