Is Hypnosis like being unconscious or the sleep state?
No. You will hear everything going on around you, like being in a daydream or being wrapped up in a good book or a movie. Although hypnosis is a derivative of the Greek word for sleep, first used by Dr. James Braid in the 1800’s, by the time it was realized that hypnosis wasn’t really sleep at all, the use of the name had already been well established.
