I have been hypnotised, made a total arse of myself in front of 600 crew members in Hypnotists show on board our ship in the 1970s, I,ve avoided these shows ever since.

Once bitten as they say.

Probably. I am afraid I would would start talking in the Bohemian slang and nobody would  understand what I was saying.

I have never been hypnotised so I don't know if it's possible for me.  It's a very odd thing to watch. I once saw a very quiet, reserved woman perform while hypnotized.  She was up on a stage dancing like a maniac and I spoke with her shortly afterwards.  She had no idea what I was talking about when I said, "Wow, I never realized you had such great moves on the dance floor"!

I have never been hipnotized and after reading Ed Shank's story I will avoid it like the plague.  How humiliating.

I have never been hypnotised but I have seen "laymen" examples that put me in awe.

One was a fellow soldier who would put the "spell' on another digger and tell him his body was a plank of wood.

We would put his head on one bed and his legs on another then two of us sit on him and he remained straight.

The weirdest was a young National Service Trainee that I was guard commander for.

It was the middle of winter and this bloke would look into a mirror and tell himself he was going to sleep for 4 hrs then wake up refreshed and not feel the cold.

He would wake up and do his 2 hr stint then back to sleep until next relief.

The other diggers were wearing great coats but this one only had his Battle Dress, no great coat.

They say that the ultimate test to see if you can be hypnotized is to fall backwards into someone's arms, if you can do this, you can be hypnotized.....

Yes was hypnotized once.  I felt so relaxed afterward, but the odd thing is every time I heard the word coffee I clucked like a chicken.

I have never been hypnotized or watched anyone who has. From time to time I've often been curious of it though.

Never tried to have myself hypnotized. But watched a woman (skeptic) be brought to orgasm without ever having a hand touch her body. After she awoke, she quickly excussed herself and went running into the bathroom. We did a great job containing our laughter.

My experience has been that this is something no one should ever do or attempt to do. You could end up blowing someone away and not knowing why you did it, robbing a bank without remembering how, when, where, or why and nothing to show for it but jail time. Another maniac declaring their innocence amid incontrovertible evidence of their guilt. The human mind can be deceived and some talented people can control another with what seems to be complete authority. I consider such practices as evil.

I have been hypnotized a couple of times.  What I remember is that I was aware of the noises around me (a window was open and I could hear birds)  
I also remember one hypnotist telling me that I wouldn't be able to open my eyes and thinking he was going to be disappointed when I opened them.  I couldn't, though.  
Both hypnotists told me that I wouldn't say or do anything under hypnosis that I wouldn't be willing to say or do outside of the hypnotic state.
Makes me wonder a little about ROMOS!   :D

I would never subject myself to hypnotization after seeing what a hypnotist could do with his subjects - really scarry.

I tried it in the 80s,but it didn't work. I think I have too much sales resistance. I think you have to be a  person that's suggestable, which I'm not.
