How did you find the video?
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I searched for "hypnosis induction", if I remember correctly, and looked for something that matched your description. And I got lucky.
The production may be a bit amateurish but I think the script is very cunningly crafted.
I have an idea that a good induction for me would paint a vivid word picture of a scene using all the senses, vision, sound, smell, taste, touch, texture, temperature, lightness, heaviness etc. This induction goes some way toward that idea. I also like the way the scene moves from a familiar experience (the movie theater) through the screen into a mystical, dreamlike world where the normal rules do not apply.The idea of the screen being out of focus so you have to float up to it and strain to read the words is so clever - it seduces you into making the transition from the mundane to the mystical where you accept that anything is possible. Several inductions I have tried say to imagine a door, open it and walk through it. The movie screen image works better for me.
I think it helps that the pace is so slow that the sentences are split across two long breaths, I get a sense of eagerness to hear the conclusion that will make sense of the first half of the sentence and a willingness to use my imagination to fill in the gaps which is then co-opted to embrace the conclusion of the sentence. I would say there are lessons here for script writers.
BTW Groom Lake is Area 51 isn't it?
