ABSTRACT
Conditions in hypnosis favoring suggestion exist in the occurrence of an altered normal psychic state, expressed in greater or lesser suppression of the personal sphere, but not excluding communication with the external world or at least with the hypnotist. It is obvious from this that the extent of susceptibility to suggestion is not directly related to the depth of hypnosis. It is well known that in the state of hypnosis the greatest variety of suggestions work easily. According to some authors, suggestion has no boundaries, while others have an opposite opinion that, in the state of hypnosis, only what fits the psychic nature of the person can be suggested. Experience shows that the extent of suggestibility does not always go hand in hand with depth of sleep. It is known that normal sleep is usually not a favorable condition for suggestion, although in certain states of this sleep there are as favorable conditions for suggestion as in hypnosis.
