The Dreamer
People claiming they are under hypnosis are they dreaming?
The opposite is true when you are under hypnosis, rather than sleeping, you are actually fully alert. In fact, more alert than normal. Being under hypnotism requires your mind to focus intensely, whether its the swinging motion of the pendulum clock, the monotone pattern of the hypnotists voice, and the sound of your own breathing as you relax. For your subconscious to take over, you need to concentrate intently. Under a state of trance, you will still be fully aware of the things you will be saying and doing, as suggested upon by the hypnotist including activities not related to sleeping, such as walking, running around, reading, laughing, and even acting like a chicken.
The Live Chicken-Eating Girl
No way! Not eating live chicken, unless of course, you really prefer such gastronomic experiment.
It was widely believed that hypnotists can turn people into zombie-like, robotic creatures ready to obey their masters bid and call. Popular culture portrayed hypnotized people to behave differently, or do extraordinary, life-threatening, illegal or immoral acts.
