Hypnosis

'You are feeling very sleepy..' We all know the basic drill don't we? Some old crack pot swings a pendulum in front of your face and then you're completely under his control. It's been the basic premise of many a TV movie and book. My personal favorite hypnosis related book was 'Molly Moon's incredible book of hypnotism' although I must admit that to say that the subsequent sequels were lack luster is a bit of an understatement... The originals still awesome. After I read it I must admit that I even tried to do a little bit of hypnotism myself. I opened my eyes extremely wide so I resembled a dragon fly then I tried to flatten all of the high pitched tones in my vocabulary. Like Molly Moon I tried my hypnotism skills on an animal first. My cat was suitably close so I pulled her over to me and then I proceeded to 'hypnotise' her. Needless to say she didn't particularly like being pulled over or the concept of staring deep into my eyes so she just started yowling and ran away. It was in that moment I discovered that perhaps I wasn't as gifted a hypnotist as dear Molly. Still I haven't stopped wondering what if...? What if I had 'the gift' and I could hypnotise four legged creatures as well as two legged ones?

Wouldn't it be ever so fun? I think that must be what pretty much every superhero goes through when they discover that they have a power. Of course first it's the question of 'what can I do?' But ever so rapidly it becomes 'now I know what I can do lets do some fun things'. If I could hypnotise people then firstly I would hypnotise anyone who had ever been mean to me in my life (although that might require actually befriending them...) get them all together in a room and hypotise them to growl like a tiger every time they heard the word 'date'. Imagine it... 'So Frank we've been friends for a while... how would you feel about a date?' 'Growl' SLAP 'You pervert!' It could also possibly result in a drink in the face. Even in another context it would be funny. 'Hey I'm making a cake. Can you buy me some dates?' 'Growl.' 'What the hell? Do dates (Growl) WHAT? Shut up about DATES (growl),' and it would just keep on going like that until one person figured it out which could take a rather long time.... he he he

I guess with great power also comes great responsibility ya da ya da ya... I shall use my ability for the good of human kind etc etc. I would probably eventually do that but firstly I'd hypnotise someone to build me something, or to say nice things or to... pick up my laundry... The only problem with that sort of suggestion would be that if it were to wear off then it would be highly likely that they'd burn my clothing or damage it in one way or another since I'm sure this hypnotism thing has a hypno-radius. So that's hypnotising other people but what about if you hypnotised yourself? If you stood in front of a mirror? Would that mean that you'd be hypotised forever? That's a rather terrifying concept you'd be living your life in auto pilot which kind of reminds me of that terribly sad movie 'Click'. Although hypnotising yourself would be very handy. There'd be no need for self discipline since you could just hypnotise yourself to study, exercise or refrain from eating chocolate/lollies (I'm actually struggling with that one because I was gifted a mass of confectionery for my pre birthday... speaking of birthdays my real one is on Thursday! It's all rather too close for my liking to be honest... It feels like only yesterday when I was avoiding turning 13... Although I guess it could have been yesterday if I subconsciously stumbled upon a time machine which teleported me to the 18 year old Camilla.... That would be neat..)
