What happens to the people in a trance? Do they stay that way forever? Or do they go to sleep that night still in a trance and wake up the next day like nothing happened? Or what if the hypnotist gets them to do some goofy thing the way they do, and the hypnotist trips and gets conked out, gets amnesia or something before he can wake them out of the trance? Or what if one of those weight loss hypnotists trances a patient until she can lose ten pounds, but then he gets a stroke or something and can’t untrance her? Does she eventually starve?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
