Your point is well taken. More accurately, trance is all around, as your examples demonstrate; and yet not all trance is hypnosis. Marketers use many of the same techniques hypnotists use to bypass consious resistance, but to call that hypnosis is a semantic stretch, that doesnot ring true. During years of working night shift there were many mornings I arrived home without a recollection of my trip home. Was I entranced? Definitely. Was I hypnotized? No. There was no collaborative process between me and a hypnotist, there was no acceptable suggestion offered,and there was no intentional use of the trance state to achieve an outcome (three elements that differentiate trance from hypnosis). Is this just a matter of definitions? Yes, and it's important, because to equate all trance and social influence with hypnosis ("in one form or another") just muddies the definition of hypnosis.
