Signs
of Trance
Instructions
to hypnotist
There are several outward signs
of trance that can be observed in all subjects. These signs can not be
simulated by the subject. The subject will exhibit at least one, and in
many cases, multiple signs.
- Body warmth Many
subjects note a distinct change in body temperature. Many subjects feel
cold, and others feel warm. This is attributed to the lower pulse rate
and extreme relaxation of the subject.
- Fluttering eyelids (R.
E. M.) Virtually all subjects in trance exhibit a 'fluttering of
eyelids'. The subject is actually in R. E. M. state. (Rapid Eye Movement)
- Reddening of the eyes
All subjects will demonstrate a reddening of the eyes once they've
entered trance. This phenomenon is attributed to the relaxation of the
muscles in the eyes of the subject, allowing a greater flow of blood
through the veins.
- Increased lacrimation
Many subjects, upon entering trance, will exhibit an increased 'tearing
of the eyes.' This is attributed to the relaxation of the muscles surrounding
the tear ducts.
- Eyes rolling back Many
subjects, upon entering trance, will experience their eyes rolling back
in their head. It will appear as if the subject is looking up through
the top of his head.
