Is Daydreaming like Hypnosis?
With the people, I have helped in my career, I have found that you get what you think about the most. Your thoughts can be emotionally charged. When you desire something, say, a new house, apartment or other living space, you also feel emotion each time you think about having that place where you can color the walls, pick the furniture, share with friends and family. It is a place you call home of your own. You are filled with excitement at the possibility of having your desire fulfilled. You believe you can have it. You deserve it. It is coming. You can daydream or imagine of ways to speed up getting that new place. You might even develop a plan of action for getting the money to complete your desire.
This is how I help others because hypnosis is as normal as a daydream, and in fact, a daydream is a form of hypnosis! That is right; a daydream is quite simply a mental state where you are thinking of something and at the same time not aware of your physical surroundings. The moment you become aware of your surroundings, you have stopped daydreaming and are fully conscious again!
It is actually impossible to daydream and carry out any normal conscious function without terminating the daydream!
So is a daydream a form of hypnosis too? It is. In order for you to enter the state of a daydream, you do not need to do anything. It just seems to happen, right? Of course! It is called a daydream because you are essentially in a dreamlike state, mentally. It is as if you are off somewhere else while still appearing to be fully awake.
What occurs when you daydream is that your body’s natural daily rhythm has decided that it is time to take a short break. As long as you are in a situation where you are not consciously concentrating on something, like mental calculations, or doing something physically demanding, like driving a car, then you are in a place to be relaxed enough, that you can safely start daydreaming. While you are daydreaming your thoughts drift off to another place, or situation, or time and you stop being aware of your surroundings. The second something requires your attention, you simply “snap out of it” and continue with what you need to do.
