In order to answer if people can indeed be hypnotized without their knowledge, we have to quickly look at what hypnosis is and what exactly is required to call a person hypnotized...

What is hypnosis? No one really knows for sure. But we do have a few ideas. By definition, hypnosis is bypassing of the critical factor of the conscious mind and establishment of acceptable selective thinking.

Now... nowhere in the definition was the word "sleep", nore "somnambulism", which is a state of the mind in deeply hypnotized people. So, from that follows that a person doesn't have to be "asleep" in order to be hypnotized. And just to make clear, somnambulistic state isn't sleep. It's actually a state of heightened awareness and extreme reactiveness to proper suggestions.

Usually such a state is induced by a hypnotherapist with the client's full approval.

But, can a person be hypnotized without knowing it?

Let's take a closer look at this mouth-watering possibility... Have you ever felt completely comfortable while reading?
