Trance types?

[Foxfuz]

After reading up on amnesia and blanking out when in trance, I start to wonder. Does you concious mind have to be off or does it do sonething while in trance?

I mean, when I'm asked to imagine something while I'm in a trance my conscious mind seems to be more alert and following along with the hyonotist. But if the hyonotist is installing the suggestions and saying 'what will happen' I seem to have my conscious mind drift off or become inacctive from being rested so much in the induction. I know I'm not supposed to over analyze the hypnosis but is my conscious mind supposed to be off when it's not being told to do something?
