Dream Hypnosis

Have you ever wished you could have stayed in a dream? During a dream hypnosis session, you can actually re-enter a dream and let it fully run its course. Sometimes, we wake up during a critical moment in the dream, and we wish we could enter the dream again. A dream hypnosis session can take you back into the dream to discover what didn't occur.

The subconscious mind reveals itself in your dreams

Your subconscious mind always communicates to you through your dreams. It is like a unknown part of you that is introducing itself to you. You must get to know your subconscious self. When you dream, you are actually finding out who you are underneath the surface of your conscious ideas about your identity. You may identify yourself by your race, sex, class, education, job, relationships, beliefs, values, etc., but this identity doesn't include your subconscious self. The subconscious contains all your memories, habits (patterns), and fixations (points of focus), and all these subconscious energies emerge in dreams and hypnosis. A dream hypnosis session allows you to go straight to all the memories and emotional fixations that live in your subconscious mind.

How can I re-enter a dream in hypnosis?

Dreams emanate from the subconscious mind, which is the part of your overall mind that is dominant while you are asleep. Dreams occur when you are in a light to medium phase of sleep and not when you are completely unconscious or in deep sleep. They occur when you go into the Rapid Eye Movement phase of sleeping also known as REM. The REM cycle occurs in approximately 90-minute intervals and is characterized by your eyes moving back and forth. Similar to dreams, hypnosis occurs in a light phase of sleep and often registers the same brain wave frequencies as dreams. Both dreams and hypnosis are controlled by the subconscious mind, which communicates in the language of images, emotions, and bodily sensations. That's why you can re-enter your dream while in a state of hypnosis. Since they both emanate from the same subconscious mind, it is easier to access dreams if you shift into a subconscious state of mind like hypnosis. The reason why dreams are so easy to forget within seconds of waking up is that you have shifted from the subconscious mind being dominant to the conscious one being in control. The conscious mind speaks in words and thinks more linearly, so it's harder to access our emotions and images.

How will I feel during a dream hypnosis session?

You will feel deeply relaxed and comfortable. You will not be in a deep sleep during hypnosis, but a light relaxed state that feels almost like sleeping but not quite sleeping too. You will be aware of what is going on around you and will be able to communicate what you are experiencing, but you will not feel like you are wide awake. Most people feel like they are somewhere between light sleep and deep sleep.

What is sleep?

Falling asleep is a gradual process that begins as soon as you begin to relax, close your eyes, and slow down your breathing. Sleep is where your consciousness registers as you become more relaxed. Sleep occurs when your brain wave frequencies register anywhere from 4-8 hertz per second which means you are in the deeper stages of alpha or in theta stages. Sleeping is similar to going into a state of hypnosis because hypnosis also occurs in alpha and theta brain wave states. Therefore, when you experience dream hypnosis, you'll feel like you are going to sleep, but you will not go into a deep, unconscious sleep (delta brain wave state). Instead, you will remember what occurs in your dream hypnosis session. The difference between sleep and hypnosis is that when you fall asleep you lose focus, but in a state of hypnosis, you sharpen your focus. Both sleep and hypnosis occur more easily when you are relaxed but one makes you lose your attention and the other increases it.
