Do you mean like having someone tell you to do something? like on some tv shows they have people quacking like ducks and so on.

If so I promise you will not do anything that you would not normally do when fully awake. In fact during one of my relaxation visualizations my therapist was using progressive relaxation and one of the things she said was to focus on loosening various type of muscles. and she got to my abdomen and said "is your bowels relaxed, check to see if your blatter is relaxeed. and in that secod I started instantly to become more aware and started giggling because in medical not psychological terms loosening the bowel and bladder is what happens when a person uses the bathroom. those muscles loosen and instant relief so to speak. LOL So when she said that even in my hypnotic trance I knew loosening those muscles would NOT be the thing to do so I automatically became more awake.

A great book to read and activities to try if you are interested in trying relaxation techniques is Nancy J Napiers books - "Recreating Yourself," " Getting through the Day" and also "Sacred practices for conscious living" they all explain hypnotic techniques, and how it relates to dissociative disorders and has relaxation visualization activities to try.

You can get the books in any book store or on her website and on amizon.

Her website has many many terrific relaxation techniques and activities. She has them listed as - meditations, and weekly practices.
