Sorry if I make any typos because I am still in shock (a little)
As some of you who chat to me on MSN may know, I have taken up learning how to hypnotise and tonight was going to be my big night. No one believed that I could do it, deep down not even me.
I sat my mum down on a chair and begun to hypnotise her.
Later, when all was done I thought it didn’t work so I shouted, “damn, it didn’t work!”.
“Mum? Mum?!”
She wouldn’t open her eyes. I got really scared and frantically tried to wake her up. She wouldn’t wake.
I thought, no problem I will click my fingers to wake her up (as I had given her that command while being hypnotised)
No joy.
I called my Dad, he was really worried. It was like she was unconscious.
We phoned up her mum and dad who live down the road and they came up to see if they could wake her.
At last, she opened her eyes.
“Mum, whats your name?” I asked.
“Anne” she replied. (which is correct)
“And your second name?”
“…..”
“Mum what’s your second name?”
“Mummy” she said.
Then I had to get her a drink and take her down stairs. Her legs were wobbly so I had to help her down.
By this time I was over the worst bit of fear.
My mum is now tucked up in bed and feeling relaxed and back to normal.
I have learnt my lesson and I thought I should tell you all that you should never muck around with hypnotising people, I am never going to do it again.
Thanks.
> I think it's Ouigi.
Isn't that one of the Mario brothers?
(It's Ouija)
Would you have a go at surgery on your mum because you'd read some stuff?
This is no different, the mind is complex organ, you don't start waving your fingers about and making her think she's a chicken unless you know what you're doing.
Still, you've learned a lesson and that was funny as hell to read.
Cheers dude.
As soon as my eyes opened this morning I leaped out of bed and rushed to my mum. She looked normal enough, even if it was 8:30 in the morning! I asked her if she was okay and she said that she was much better. I started clicking my fingers to see if anything would happen and she just said “I’m not a bloody servant you know!” so I think I can safely say she is okay now.
Thanks everyone who wished my mum better and all the “good lucks” etc.
Next week I will ask what I done wrong, and when I find out… I will give up “hypnotising” as I am not very good at it and I have realised how dangerous it is.
Just to let you know, when you hypnotise someone you do not need to wave a watch infront of them or anything, all I did was put on a soothing voice, and counted back from 100-1 and with each number say something that would relax them, then when she was relaxed enough and I could see that she was expressionles then was the time to start getting her imagination working.
Hope evereything turns out alright
:)
Anyway, I'm sure your Mum will be fine. I doubt you've formatted her subconcious (sp?), she'll be OK in the morning.
Give us updates!
Never mess around with things like that, Wigi boards and the such.
It's all bad.
Tell your mum that I hope she gets better.
Ive been to a few hypnotist shows in pubs and it generally a good laugh as long as its done right. You shouldn't mess with people's sub-concious minds unless you know what you are doing. Hope she fully recovers but I guess it got a little to close for comfort for you. A warning to others I think.
