Well, that's a good start to be sure.
Just how much do you think about things while under, and do you ever experience lost time?
Achieving less of the first and more of the second may mean improvement, though of course everyone trances differently.
Maybe first try some hypnosis files intended to achieve deeper trance? Decide to yourself that in both your conscious and unconscious mind, your current goal is to achieve better trance, and work from there.
Also, since mild hallucination is your goal, I'd suggest also working on visualization and bodily sensations. No real advice on that aspect other than that stuff happens all the time in dreams, so you might transition from feeling and seeing the changes in your dreams to doing so while awake, utilizing the sort of in-between states, like when being woken up. Set up an alarm for the middle of the night, then decide to wake up only enough to be aware of yourself and not enough to actually count as being 'conscious'.
Of course, this is purely speculative. I just figure the more ideas you get floating around in your head, the more likely they'll mix together to form an ideal solution. Which is also mere speculation.
Maybe I should actually try this stuff before going around ranting about it...
