The
Webster's New International Dictionary defines hypnosis as "the
induction of a state resembling sleep or somnambulism, which is called
hypnosis or hypnotic sleep; also loosely - the induced state of
hypnosis."
The word hypnosis is derived from the Greek word
hypnos, meaning sleep. Hypnotism is often presumed to make someone go
under a state of reduced consciousness while the person remains awake.
The general behavior of those under hypnosis are being extremely
positive to suggestions, and achieving a high level of relaxation.
Daydreaming is another activity likened to hypnotism, wherein a person
looks oblivious to his surroundings yet experiencing heightened
imagination - depending on how light the trance is.
