ABSTRACT
It is acknowledged by practically all observers that the memory for long-past events is much better in hypnosis than in the waking state. Even long forgotten experiences can be revived in that state; in fact, the exaltation of the memory is one of the most pronounced of the attendant phenomena. The conscious memory in most persons is weak and untrustworthy; while the subconscious memory, which is accessible only in abnormal and supernormal states, is both extensive and unfailing.
