Counting down from ten to one Hypnotic trance ends, stupor comes undone How then do we smoothly, from sleep awake Who is the hypnotist, doing the shake-shake-shake Find out now; dull awareness is no fun 22-July-2021

I would not allow anyone to hypnotise me. There is truly no fun in it.

if what we call waking is a dream within a dream, we are the object within this dream, not the subject, the dreamer, also us but we are unaware. So if we are in hypnotic trance, here, now, how would we know, unless we awake from the dream?
