Sleep hypnosis?

[PS360]

I heard if you leave the file on while you sleep you get the same effects then as you were in trance.

IS this true?

How long is a piece of string.There seems to be no definate asnwer to this. I personally believe the answer is no. Through my personal experiences i have had no success with it. I know there have been a few threads on this already that have most people agrreing with me - but there is no definate answer.

I do know that the state of hypnosis/trance is different to sleep.The mind is in theta for sleep and alpha for trance ( please dont quote me on this i cant remember the state levels off the top of my head but i do know they are different.)Which would mean diffent effects.

so it's debatable whether or not it would work.

ok.

Some people it works. Some it doesn't. Its easiest to trance while you are awake. But it is possible to trance during sleep. Strength of that trance varies from person to person though.

I have fallen asleep while listening to a file on repeat before. I was able to hear the file in my dreams so it does get through. I don't know how effective it is though.

It seems to me that since the adaptive unconscious is maintaining everything from breathing to dreams and that comatosed patients (whether purposely drug induced or due to head injury) when waking can recall conversations that people had around them. So that why on earth would we suppose that it wasn't the case.

Now I know from my own direct experience that the suggestion I have used on myself when 'asleep' is just as applicable and successful as the day time induced 'sleep' of hypnosis is used on me.

ok I don't post very often because I don't feel qualified to give advise. but I do want to make a comment on this. if you are useing the files during the day and going into trance then useing them at night while you sleep then as far as the useing them while you sleep goes the worst thing it could be doing is nothing and the best is helping get the results you want and are working on during the day. so in my humble opinion it is worth risking nothing for the chance of getting benifit. if listening at night is something you enjoy doing then it is definately worth doing and just at the chance it is helping you get the results you want it is worth doing!

Well said - it cant hurt to try.The thing i enjoy most about hypnosis is the experimentation.
