The Betty Erickson method cycles through VAK (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) external observations and then internal ones to naturally induce trance.

A 'somnambulist' hypnotic subject is best described as someone who:

Accepted Answer

Responds very deeply and exhibits phenomena like positive hallucination
