Well, today me and my friend were talking. He said that he'd do anything to find out someones name from when he was in school. I said "Well, you could try age regression hypnosis to take you back to that stage".
Later that day, we tried it. I started by reading an induction script to him, but I changed certain things to fit him better, and from my own experience added things and kind of re-organised it. The point is that it was working.
I got to a point where I said "Alright now I want you to picture a hallway with a door at the end, as I count down from 10 to 1 you're going to take a step closer to the hallway. With every step you will feel yourself going deeper and deeper, and when I say 1 you will be completely relaxed and as deep as you can possibly go". I started counting down with generic suggestions like "deeper and deeper", and "more and more relaxed as you take your next step". When I got to 2 I saw his eyes flutter a bit, I said "Open the door and step through it.". Actually, I should point out at the beginning I told him if there are any problems he should tell me. He then said "the door is locked". He was still under. I started laughing and assuming he was messing me around, because he hardly ever takes anything seriously. Then I realized he was being serious. I tried all sorts including slapping him and he didn't even flinch. To wake him up I had to get his cat on his face and tell him "you are now waking up, you are now waking up, you are now waking up" for about a minute and then he suddenly woke up in shock.
That was really bizzare, he had no recollection of anything I did to try and wake him up, or the door being locked. He said the last thing he could remember was me saying "imagine a hallway".
So, we tried again. This time I said basically the same things, except I added that he is not afraid, nothing bad is going to happen and that the door was OPEN! This time, when he got to the door he went "Aah!" and jumped on his bed, it took me about 20 seconds to get him up this time and he said "I hit the wall.". I asked, what wall? He kept on saying about this wall with red bricks which appeared.
So, for a last time, we tried again. This time I said he's running at the speed of a very fast car through a field, and as I count down he slows down until I say 1 when he'll come to a stop and be as deep as possible and completely relaxed. Fine, so we started, but by the time I said 5 he was flinching, then when I said 4 he said "tell the voice to stop", I asked "what voice?", he said "the angry voice calling my name!". I continued, when I said 1 he started screaming saying a person grabbed him who appeared when he stopped, after running AT HIM. He jumped out of his bed and I could see the fear in his eyes, I knew he wasn't making this up.
What the hell happened? Was his subconcious blocking something? Did something happen to him around the time we were planning on taking him to?
I mean, jesus. I try to go under but nothing works for me, I don't feel a thing. He said he could feel everything I said. This was obviously real, I could just tell. So what was happening? Is there any way around this?
I based a lot of what I was saying on what I've heard from files as I've tried them. But this... it's really bizzare.
