Sleep?

[gurlbidesign]

It seems like everytime I play a file I just fall asleep during it. I know I don't go into trance because most of the time I sleep past the wakeup point and sometimes I wake up before the file is finished. In either case the subject of the file has not taken effect. Mistress says that they are starting to work because I am falling asleep. Is this a normal step with someone who apparently isn't overly susceptable to being hypnotized or am I just getting a lot of short naps?

Im not really an expert on this, so if someone else posts, take their word over mine if our posts conflict.

It sounds like you are going too deep to me. I would suggest Deepening2. It tries to achieve a good level of trance. I recommend SublimTrainTrance if your doing something. I lay down on my bed with my boom box next to me with a burned cd and with headphones, so there's something to try. To me at least, a trance is where you close your eyes and your body feels like it is bound to the bed, and nothing can be lifted off the bed.

I agree with GrimIronMan, on the fact that you are probably going too deep. If you're laying down, make sure you head is not bent so as to restrict breathing, and breath deep, so that way you brain will get more oxygen, also, you can try sitting in a chair or a slightly uncomfortable position, to help keep you from falling asleep. My final suggestion is to concentrate, and think about the words (not too deeply), but visualize it.

I've been falling asleep while listening to these files as well.

I'll try it in the middle of the day next time.

But a quick question, would my brain still pick up the guy's voice since its still playing? Or would that not work?

It can still work subliminally.

I'm not sure whether it would work or not. But I don't think it would work, if you were sleeping. But it would work, if you were in a deep trance. Deep trances are like sleep - you drift in and out of focus, so for a lot of the time you might think you had been sleeping, while in fact you were trancing. See what results you get and judge by that, but be patient and try for a while first.
