That would be pretty neat, though it may encourage actual jumping off of roof tops. :D

Except that you fail to acknowledge the real implications of using hypnosis. While some if can be for fun, eventually it may end up causing some long term implications, even in the case of triggered suggestions. Most usage of hypnosis as a means of fulfilling fantasies deals mostly with either lessening related phobias, or as some sort of fetish work. Both of which come with less serious, and more intentional long term implications. But, something like suggesting that the person can fly, or do anything which might be potentially fatal or harmful for themselves or others is likely a very bad idea, especially if the hypnotist is not very skilled at using the correct language, and if the participant is not totally aware of the chance for any lasting effects.

For stuff like this, you're usually best just using your imagination, or videogames (still kinda harmful) to do those kinds of things. Hypnosis is not a toy to be taken lightly.

You all presume that no one is capable of making firm decisions for themselves, assuming people lack the ability to keep themselves safe from an mp3........ I highly doubt ANYONE would listen to a file like this and then go jump off a building.


That being said, you can just listen to Lucid Dream Train and do whatever you like in your dreams. I've been listening to it every night for months and now I truly can do whatever I wish. It's very cathartic.

I only said to "encourage" it in my post. :wink:

There are some people in this world will do some pretty stupid things.

I think this has the potential to be great. I've been thinking about it lately too, how hypnosis is a form of storytelling in the second person voice and could be used to make a person feel like they're in a story. I've been letting the idea stew, but a story file is coming using you as the main character. We'll see how it works.
