is hypnosis real? probably a common question but i'm curious. if so, to what extent? just putting people into a trance, making them forget stuff, or making them do stuff? how does it work, where is it used, etc.

Yes, it's real
Many people in many communities will say it can't make you do anything you wouldn't already want to do and can't truly make you go against your consent, similar limitations
I don't have the energy to explain, but out of personal experience, it absolutely can. So, in terms of extent: More than you or le majority of people interested in hypnosis believe.
anyway, it's like meditation, it bridges th gap between normie and /x/, as such there's plenty of scientific documentation and recording, and it can be diluted into a science to some extent and you can easily learn how to do it yourself if you go looking, so go looking, it will be fruitful. I know that's unhelpful srry lol, I have a widdle archive on this and I'll try to look through it and give you book reccomends later.
Any good books to learn how to do it?
>put your hands together
>deep relax yourself
>tell yourself that you can't pull your hands apart
>this will happen when you count down from 5
>when done try to pull your hands apart
>tried it
>pulled hands apart without any issue
oh well
I studied it for a little while, it is real, for sure. You can hypnotise yourself (warpmymind.com if you want to mind-frick yourself) or be hypnotized by others. Unless its with someone you trust a lot or it is very intense (for example military training as noted in tis thread) it won't get you to the point that you are completely lost/braindead, but you can get pretty close if you really commit to it. I quit after I was able to put people into "level 1" (not sure what it is legit called anymore) and realized I was playing with something I didn't have the commitment to master and didn't want to frick with it anymore.
Also see: project MK Ultra. Tangent to hypnotism. Similar principles.

Doesn't that sound delightful.
there is one saying in le hypnotic ocmmunities that does actually have weight to it ,and tha's: all hypnosis is self hypnosis
it's something your anatomy is doing to itself, it' something you're doing to yourself. You can't just sit there like a bucket of wet fish while repeating an affirmation and waiting for -magic- to happen.
You need to believe it works, and then chose to follow and roleplay as if the commands are working, as if it actually is working, and you really can't pull apart your hands. Continue doing this, and fostering the fantasy, while releasing th tension of thine analytical mind. Eventually, it will actually go outside of your control, and you really won't be able to pull your hands apart.
Hypnosis isn't just magic, it is a result of your mind, but, that also means you actually have to use it. It's just thaur this happens automatically and without effort for some people.
if you're still in a state in which you're observing the situation and having thoughts of it, and responding to those thoughts, and forming opinions of those thoughts and the situation and nature of what you're doing, you're still not really deep enough.
I intend to start at the beginning with Neurypnology by James Braid (1843). I read Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion by Émile Coué (1922).

My dad was a stage magician and used to do hypnosis as part of his show.
It's real, it works, but it's extremely limited.
Here's how he would do it:
It doesn't work easily with everyone (it doesn't work well with children, for a start), therefore he would start by giving an easy suggestion to the audience.
The ones who would follow the suggestion first, he would call to come forward. These are the people among the audience who are the most suggestible.
He then gets them in a trance-like state, called iirc, the suggestion state. At that point, he would give them a "suggestion" meaning: some sort of simple instruction. Say, something like "now, when the audience clap, you will scratch your head".
Then he would get them out of the trance.
And if everything went well, right on cue, they would do what they were suggested to do, without thinking about it.
My dad studied psychology in university and often told me this "the weirdest thing about hypnosis is when you wonder:
Why do we have this mechanism inside our brain in the first place?"
This reminds me of my military training.
>be me
>be doing basic training
>be used to following orders of Sergeantgay
>be doing final obstacle course at the end of training
>final part of course you climb to high ramp above water
>Sergeantgay is at the top giving the order for each man to jump and when
>get to top
>delay gives me a chance to look down
>in my brain it looks very high and I'm thinking, 'Nope. No way I'm jumping off this. Like I'd actually decided and was figuring out a way to tell Sergeantgay it's never going to happen."
>right in the middle of it he gives the order
>I jumped immediately
>as I'm falling realise I never actually decided to jump
>body just did it automatically
>totally 'against my will'
>had time to wonder 'What the frick?!" before hitting the water
>interdasting
>Why do we have this mechanism inside our brain in the first place?"
I guess that kinda answers that question.
They don't have hypnotist shows come to schools no mores or something?

Jedi mind trick is real
>how does it work
That's a difficult question to answer definitively. No joke there's over 500 different theories of hypnosis out there. However, you can narrow it down by ignoring theories that are based on either relaxation and or pure social compliance, because those theories are most certainly bullshit.
The problem with hypnosis is both parties have to fully believe hypnosis is real and that both parties consent to said hypnosis.
So its a neat trick, but defeated by simply not believing its effective.
any1 here know if there’s such thing as like subliminal hypnosis? with the goal of like ppl being honest without remembering after the spell is gone
